8 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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at New York Public Library and The Met Cloisters. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Greenwich Village and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets. Venture out of the city with trips to Hyde Park (Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt & Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum), Bushkill Falls (in Bushkill) and Peters Valley Gallery (in Layton). The adventure continues: take a stroll through SoHo, go for a charming ride with a horse-drawn carriage tour, stop by Dumbo, and hunt for treasures at Chelsea Market.
