Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

Visiting Speed Boats Tours and Ocean Grove Beach will get you outdoors. We've included these beaches for you: Lido Beach and Gilgo Beach. Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: Asbury Park (Silverball Pinball Museum & 8th Ave Jetty) and Joel L. Lefkowitz Park at West Meadow Beach (in Stony Brook). And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Times Square, stop by FAO Schwarz, admire the landmark architecture of The National Arts Club, and make a trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
