15 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.

Museum-lovers will appreciate The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Deepen your sense of the past at sights like 9/11 Memorial and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: Philadelphia (Powel House, Independence Hall, &more), Bronx Zoo (in Bronx) and Valley Forge National Historical Park (in Valley Forge). There's still lots to do: go for a walk through Central Park, admire the striking features of Grand Central Terminal, take in panoramic vistas at Empire State Building, and examine the collection at New York Public Library.
