7 days in New York City & Queens Itinerary

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

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Statue of Liberty National Monument are good opportunities to explore the local culture. There's still lots to do: go for a walk through Central Park, appreciate the history behind 9/11 Memorial, take in panoramic vistas at Top of the Rock, and take a stroll through Times Square.
