20 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.

Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: Philadelphia (Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Education Center, Boathouse Row, &more), Coney Island (in Brooklyn) and Chanticleer (in Wayne). There's still lots to do: take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, take a stroll through Times Square, appreciate the history behind Statue of Liberty National Monument, and stroll around The High Line.
