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.

Get some cultural insight at 9/11 Memorial and Ellis Island. Museum-lovers will get to explore The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Venture out of the city with trips to Bliss Price Arboretum and Wildlife Sanctuary (in Eatontown), Edgar Felix Memorial Bikeway (in Manasquan) and Columbia Trail (in High Bridge). There's lots more to do: get a taste of the local shopping with Fifth Avenue, stroll through Lawrence Hopewell Trail, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and don't miss a visit to Statue of Liberty National Monument.
