58 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 enjoy a bit of beach vacationing at Cooper's Beach and Lido Beach. 9/11 Memorial and American Museum of Natural History are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Philadelphia (Philadelphia Museum of Art, Eastern State Penitentiary, &more), The Stony Point Battlefield Lighthouse (in Stony Point) and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets (in Central Valley). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), see the interesting displays at Tenement Museum, get some thrills on the water with a speed boat tour, and steep yourself in history at Ellis Island.
