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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at 9/11 Memorial and Ellis Island. Kids will enjoy The Metropolitan Museum of Art and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Change things up with these side-trips from New York City: Manahawkin Lake Park (in Manahawkin), Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (in Oceanville) and Mill Race Village Shops (in Mount Holly). The adventure continues: take a stroll through Fifth Avenue, look for gifts at Asher's Chocolates, admire the masterpieces at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and pick up some local products at Easton Farmers Market.
