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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like 9/11 Memorial and St. Paul's Chapel. Family-friendly places like Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art will thrill your kids. There's much more to do: get a taste of the local shopping with The Met Cloisters, see the interesting displays at New York Public Library, wander the streets of Times Square, and browse the eclectic array of goods at Chelsea Market.
