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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes The Phantom of the Opera, American Museum of Natural History, Statue of Liberty National Monument, and other attractions you added. Family-friendly places like Ground Zero Museum Workshop and The Metropolitan Museum of Art will thrill your kids. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and New York Public Library. And it doesn't end there: contemplate the long history of Ellis Island, browse the eclectic array of goods at Chelsea Market, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and take a stroll through Lincoln Square.
