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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Fifth Avenue, Coney Island, Little Italy, and other attractions you added. Kids will enjoy Central Park and Top of the Rock. Step out of New York City with an excursion to Bronx Zoo in Bronx--about 36 minutes away. There's lots more to do: admire the landmark architecture of Empire State Building, make a trip to Rockefeller Center, explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and learn more about the world around you at American Museum of Natural History.
