60 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.

Get a sense of the local culture at St. Patrick's Cathedral and Philadelphia Museum of Art. Museum-lovers will appreciate New York Public Library and Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. You'll find plenty of places to visit near New York City: Philadelphia (Liberty Bell Center, Eastern State Penitentiary, &more), Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (in Mahwah) and Hyde Park (Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, &more). There's still lots to do: explore the world behind art at Frick Collection, get to know the fascinating history of Brooklyn Heights Promenade, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Paul's Chapel, and view the masterpieces at The Met Cloisters.
