14 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.

Popular historic sites such as St. Patrick's Cathedral and Ellis Island are in your itinerary. Take a break from the city and head to Horse-Drawn Carriage Tours and Jones Beach State Park. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around New York City: Reeves-Reed Arboretum (in Summit), Bayard Cutting Arboretum (in Great River) and The Raptor Trust Center (in Millington). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at New York Public Library, appreciate the extensive heritage of Brooklyn Heights Promenade, wander the streets of Greenwich Village, and capture your vacation like a pro with an inspiring photography tour.
