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.

Attractions like World Trade Center's Liberty Park and Photography Tours make great kid-friendly stops. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Ground Zero Museum Workshop and Flatiron Building. There's still lots to do: race across the water with a speed boat tour, appreciate the history behind The Oculus, stroll around Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at St. Paul's Chapel.

In July, plan for daily highs up to °F, and evening lows to °F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 31st (Wed) early enough to travel back home.
