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.

Explore hidden gems such as Woodbury Common Premium Outlets and Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Do your shopping at DM Weil Gallery and SoHo. Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: Poughkeepsie (Adams Fairacre Farms & Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park), Hudson Beach Glass (in Beacon) and Bethlehem (The Banana Factory & SteelStacks). There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, view the masterpieces at Golden Fish Gallery, appreciate the history behind 9/11 Memorial, and take a stroll through Fifth Avenue.
