8 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Coney Island (in Brooklyn) and Bronx Zoo (in Bronx). And it doesn't end there: take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, take in panoramic vistas at Empire State Building, admire the landmark architecture of Grand Central Terminal, and stroll around The High Line.
