6 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 Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Horse-Drawn Carriage Tours. Step out of the city life by going to Bayard Cutting Arboretum and Jones Beach State Park. There's lots more to do: visit Dumbo, wander the streets of Fifth Avenue, examine the collection at Ground Zero Museum Workshop, and shop like a local with SoHo.
