28 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.

Relax by the water at Pike's Beach and Mantoloking Beach. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Chelsea Market and DM Weil Gallery. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Hyde Park (Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, &more), Philadelphia (Independence National Historical Park, Eastern State Penitentiary, &more) and Sam's Point Preserve (in Cragsmoor). There's much more to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of St. Paul's Chapel, visit Greenwich Village, settle in for a delightful tour with a horse-drawn carriage tour, and examine the collection at Ground Zero Museum Workshop.
