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 Metropolitan Museum of Art. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Times Square and Statue of Liberty National Monument. 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: take a stroll through Fifth Avenue, get a new perspective on things with Boat Tours & Water Sports, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and steep yourself in history at World Trade Center Memorial Foundation.
