5 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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt and St. Paul's Chapel. Explore hidden gems such as Greenwich Village and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Step out of New York City with an excursion to Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site in Hyde Park--about 1h 50 min away. And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Ground Zero Museum Workshop, browse the collection at The Morgan Library & Museum, explore the world behind art at Frick Collection, and shop like a local with Fifth Avenue.
