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.

Visiting Island Beach State Park and Speed Boats Tours will get you outdoors. Step off the beaten path and head to Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site and Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Peters Valley Gallery (in Layton), Grounds For Sculpture (in Hamilton) and Bushkill Falls (in Bushkill). And it doesn't end there: get some fabulous bargains at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, wander the streets of Washington Square Park, explore the galleries of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and see the interesting displays at Ground Zero Museum Workshop.
