6 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've added The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Phantom of the Opera, Drunk Shakespeare, and other attractions to your itinerary. You'll discover tucked-away gems like SeaGlass Carousel at The Battery and Balto Statue. And it doesn't end there: go for a walk through Central Park, tour the pleasant surroundings at The High Line, and explore the world behind art at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
