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 9/11 Memorial are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Get in touch with nature at Tyler State Park and Gateway National Recreation. Venture out of the city with trips to Fire Island National Seashore (in Patchogue), Long Beach (in Long Beach) and Ponquogue Beach (in Hampton Bays). Next up on the itinerary: take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, stroll around The High Line, don't miss a visit to Statue of Liberty National Monument, and visit Times Square.
