10 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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Hamilton Grange National Memorial and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Get in touch with nature at Shawnee Mountain Ski Area and Pocono Environmental Education Center. Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: Worthington State Forest (in Columbia), Cattus Island County Park (in Toms River), Freehold Raceway Mall (in Freehold), Jacobsburg State Park (in Nazareth), Fire Island National Seashore (in Patchogue), The Celery Farm (in Allendale), Stockton Farm Market (in Stockton), High Point State Park (in Sussex), Quogue Wildlife Refuge (in Quogue), Hildreth's Home Goods (in Southampton), Barkley's Gourmet Marketplace (in Flemington), Jones Farm (in Cornwall on Hudson) and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets (in Central Valley). There's still lots to do: stop by Bergino Baseball Clubhouse, browse the different shops at The Shops at Columbus Circle, tour the pleasant surroundings at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and browse the exhibits of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
