5 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.

Museum-lovers will appreciate 9/11 Memorial and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Do some cultural sightseeing at Times Square and St. Patrick's Cathedral. And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Fifth Avenue, appreciate the extensive heritage of World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, take in the spiritual surroundings of Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, and enjoy breathtaking views from Empire State Building.
