14 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.

We've included these beaches for you: Pike's Beach and Allenhurst Beach Club. Museum-lovers will get to explore 9/11 Memorial and The Met Cloisters. Venture out of the city with trips to Hyde Park (Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site & Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum), Great Neck Steppingstone Park (in Great Neck) and Bushkill Falls (in Bushkill). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Ground Zero Museum Workshop, take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, wander the streets of Greenwich Village, and explore the world behind art at Frick Collection.

To see where to stay, photos, and more tourist information, go to the New York City trip planning site.
