7 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.

Attractions like Central Park and Statue of Liberty National Monument make great kid-friendly stops. Go for a jaunt from New York City to Bronx to see Bronx Zoo about 36 minutes away. There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, wander the streets of Times Square, take in panoramic vistas at Top of the Rock, and admire the striking features of Empire State Building.

Expect a daytime high around 48°F in December, and nighttime lows around 36°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 6th (Mon) so you can travel back home.
