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.

Get outdoors at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and Speed Boats Tours. Do some cultural sightseeing at 9/11 Memorial and Times Square. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Demarest Nature Center (in Demarest) and Hook Mountain State Park (in Valley Cottage). And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Fifth Avenue, explore the wealth of natural beauty at Hamilton Grange National Memorial, contemplate the long history of Ellis Island, and grab your bike and head to East River Waterfront Esplanade.

In November, plan for daily highs up to 16°C, and evening lows to 7°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 8th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
