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.

Popular historic sites such as Brooklyn Heights Promenade and St. Paul's Chapel are in your itinerary. Step off the beaten path and head to New York Public Library and Dumbo. And it doesn't end there: admire the masterpieces at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour, see the interesting displays at Tenement Museum, and pause for some serene contemplation at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
