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.

Visiting Shawnee Mountain Ski Area and Hamilton Grange National Memorial will get you outdoors. Step off the beaten path and head to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: Jones Farm (in Cornwall on Hudson), Pocono Environmental Education Center (in Dingmans Ferry) and Hildreth's (in Southampton). There's much more to do: explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, look for gifts at The Strand Bookstore, browse the eclectic array of goods at Chelsea Market, and shop like a local with The Shops at Columbus Circle.
