18 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.

Bring the kids along to Central Park and 9/11 Memorial. Venture out of the city with trips to Bronx Zoo (in Bronx), Bury The Hatchet Old Bridge - Axe Throwing (in Old Bridge) and Philadelphia (Rodin Museum, Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Education Center, &more). The adventure continues: admire the masterpieces at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, pause for some photo ops at Statue of Liberty National Monument, admire the landmark architecture of Grand Central Terminal, and take some stellar pictures from Top of the Rock.
