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.

Appreciate the collections at 9/11 Memorial and American Museum of Natural History. Get some historical perspective at Ellis Island and St. Patrick's Cathedral. You'll find plenty of places to visit near New York City: Wolf Conservation Center (in South Salem), Hook Mountain State Park (in Valley Cottage) and Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (in Oceanville). There's much more to do: make a trip to Central Park, grab your bike and head to Hudson River Greenway, take in nature's colorful creations at Hallett Nature Sanctuary, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine.

Expect a daytime high around 57°F in November, and nighttime lows around 44°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 28th (Thu) to allow time to travel back home.
