5 days in New York City Itinerary

Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

You'll explore and learn at 9/11 Memorial and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Times Square and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Step out of New York City with an excursion to Eagle Rock Reservation in West Orange--about 34 minutes away. There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, get a new perspective on things with Boat Tours & Water Sports, pause for some photo ops at Statue of Liberty National Monument, and get to know the fascinating history of World Trade Center Memorial Foundation.
