15 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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Brooklyn Heights Promenade and 9/11 Memorial. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to New York Public Library and Chelsea Market. You'll find plenty of places to visit near New York City: Upper Delaware River (in Narrowsburg), Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge (in Noyack) and Bushkill Falls (in Bushkill). And it doesn't end there: pause for some serene contemplation at St. Patrick's Cathedral, steep yourself in history at Allaire State Park, hike along Pocono Environmental Education Center, and delve into the lush surroundings at Worthington State Forest.
