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.

Family-friendly places like Bushkill Falls and Statue of Liberty National Monument will thrill your kids. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and Upper Delaware River. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around New York City: Shrine of Our Lady of the Island (in Manorville), Cupsogue Beach County Park (in Westhampton Beach) and Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park (in Poughkeepsie). There's lots more to do: take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, take in the exciting artwork at Wired Gallery, hunt for treasures at Chelsea Market, and walk around T.R. Gallo West Strand Park.
