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.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and St. Patrick's Cathedral are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Get in touch with nature at Fire Island National Seashore and Tyler State Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Long Beach (in Long Beach), Ponquogue Beach (in Hampton Bays) and Gateway National Recreation (in Sandy Hook). Next up on the itinerary: take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, wander the streets of Times Square, don't miss a visit to Statue of Liberty National Monument, and examine the collection at 9/11 Memorial.
