New York City?

We are trying to figure out how many days to allow for the NYC area. We want to see Ellis Island & Statue of Liberty, The Met & Time’s Square as well as a few other attractions. We plan on staying at Normandy Farms & taking a hop on hop off tour to connect us with the major attractions. We also plan on visiting the Hyde Park area for FDR homes & others as well as several more historic homes north of Tarryrown. How much time would you suggest? Thanks!

As most have suggested Liberty Harbor is the Spot for NYC, as it is the easiest/closest/into the city - Use only public transportation - if I were you I'd allocate a day for each attraction you are trying to See, trust me the City of New York is a really BIG National Park.

IMHO it will take time to get to - see and enjoy each , and there will be so many things you will discover while there, that you will fill every day full.

The Empire State Building is a MUST DO at Night, along with the fact that there is so Much to See and do in the evenings.

You do not say How Much Time you Have? Coming from the West Coast I'd guess you will have allocated at least a week, IMHO you will need it. As you bump down the East Coast try to make it to the Beaches - Delaware Seashore SP - or so many other options - Just use the satellite feature on the map to seethe beaches you can get to.

A few other spots many miss in a visit to the East Coast - Great Lakes - Upstate NY - Williamsburg - Blue Ridge Parkway - Asheville - Lake Toxaway area outside the Smokies - Hilton Head - Jekyll Island, Ga..........On an On.

As we have lived on the East Coast for most of the Last 50 years, the Three Things that we have enjoyed the most - DC - National Sites - Beaches, mostly Delaware and Maryland - Mountains, Rocky Gap, MD - Upstate NY - Lake Toxaway.

Issue is we also discovered the Rockies so ..........hard to be in just one place.

Sorry to get carried away, but you will need to have a lot of time - East Coast is BIG - Traffic is Terrible - Driving takes a real PLAN - CampGrounds are seldom really Good - Beach is Great!

Hope this is of some help,

edit - This should be of some help - This may help in your NYC Adventure
