11 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.

Appreciate the collections at 9/11 Memorial and Ground Zero Museum Workshop. Escape the urban bustle at Bay Head Beach and Mantoloking Beach. You'll find plenty of places to visit near New York City: Manahawkin Lake Park (in Manahawkin), Sea Bright Public Beach (in Sea Bright) and Allenhurst Beach Club (in Allenhurst). There's still lots to do: hunt for treasures at Chelsea Market, take in nature's colorful creations at Churchville Nature Center, take an in-depth tour of Ellis Island, and look for all kinds of wild species at Cloverdale Farm County Park.
