18 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.

Visiting Bushkill Falls and Seaside Park Beach will get you outdoors. You'll discover tucked-away gems like St. Patrick's Cathedral and Frick Collection. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Bay Head Beach (in Bay Head), Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (in Oceanville) and Hyde Park (Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, &more). Next up on the itinerary: appreciate the history behind 9/11 Memorial, tour the pleasant surroundings at Central Park, see the interesting displays at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, and kick back and relax at Ponquogue Beach.
