Summary: New York is much more than wonderful: it’s an experience—there’s none other like it, and you must not miss it. It’s the energy of New York that clothes every moment of every day, with buildings that soar toward the stars and buildings that echo a city’s history, museums as fine as they come, hotels fit for a king or small, quiet and intensely personal, restaurants of unsurpassed quality and cafés for coffee, shops of great treasures and tiny trinkets, music of symphonies and single voices, theater for every interest, and sports activities of every description—all set in broad avenues and the narrow streets of its villages, in grand parks and quiet corners. All of this is New York, and it is all so special that any visitor to the Mid-Atlantic States not familiar with its wonders must include at least a taste from its great menu. The history of New York dates back to the days of tribes of Indians—long before George Washington—but it’s the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries that have given it the reputation that it enjoys today. New York City, often thought of as the capital of America, has been at the center of the country’s economic and cultural life, made all the more dynamic by the city’s size, its ethnic diversity, and a population more than double that of any other American town. It’s situated much like a keyhole to a house, opening directly to the Mid-Atlantic States and, more importantly, to all of the United States.

The purchase of this itinerary also includes the itineraries for New York's Hudson River Valley and The Water's Edge.
