34 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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and New York Public Library will appeal to museum buffs. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Allaire State Park (in Farmingdale), Shamong (Valenzano Family Winery & Atsion Lake) and Edgar Felix Memorial Bikeway (in Manasquan). There's much more to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at The Met Cloisters, walk around World Trade Center's Liberty Park, contemplate the long history of Whitesbog Village, and pause for some serene contemplation at St. Paul's Chapel.
