9 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 explore the less-touristy side of things at Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and New York Public Library. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Wightman Fruit Farm (in Kerhonkson), Sam's Point Preserve (in Cragsmoor) and 8th Ave Jetty (in Asbury Park). There's still lots to do: go for a walk through Central Park, relax in the rural setting at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and kick back and relax at Ponquogue Beach.
