7 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.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Visit St. Patrick's Cathedral and 9/11 Memorial for their historical value. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Hyde Park (Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Val-Kill Cottage, & more), Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park (in Poughkeepsie) and Kadampa Meditation Center New York and World Peace Temple (in Glen Spey). There's lots more to do: contemplate the long history of Grey Towers National Historic Site, pause for some serene contemplation at Cragsmoor Stone Church, admire the striking features of Wilderstein Historic Site, and snap pictures at Roebling Aqueduct Suspension Bridge.
