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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate 9/11 Memorial and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Visiting Speed Boats Tours and Hallett Nature Sanctuary will get you outdoors. There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, take a stroll through Fifth Avenue, and examine the collection at New York Public Library.
