3 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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to The Met Cloisters and Dumbo. Escape the urban bustle at Speed Boats Tours and Gateway National Recreation. Go for a jaunt from New York City to Port Washington to see Sands Point Preserve about 38 minutes away. There's lots more to do: don't miss a visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, examine the collection at Ground Zero Museum Workshop, pause for some photo ops at 9/11 Memorial, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

For ratings, where to stay, other places to visit, and tourist information, use the New York City driving holiday site.

If you are flying in from Canada, the closest major aiports are La Guardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and John F Kennedy International Airport. In July in New York City, expect temperatures between 35°C during the day and 26°C at night. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 5th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
