16 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Bronx Zoo (in Bronx), Coney Island (in Brooklyn) and Philadelphia (Independence Hall, Wissahickon Valley Park, &more). There's much more to do: go for a walk through Central Park, enjoy breathtaking views from Top of the Rock, wander the streets of Times Square, and walk around The High Line.
