4 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.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural History will appeal to museum buffs. There's much more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Central Park, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Paul's Chapel, explore the galleries of 9/11 Memorial, and admire the masterpieces at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
