5 days in New York City Itinerary

Your list of things to see and do now includes Central Park, Zabar's, Bow Bridge, and other attractions. There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Patrick's Cathedral, admire the striking features of Rockefeller Center, and make a trip to Grand Central Terminal.
