BOSTON

The best way to travel the just over 200 miles between NYC and Boston for a weekend getaway is by Amtrak train. It takes less time and has far less hassles than driving or flying.

While other major world cities claim bragging rights to” bigger, better, bests,” NYC is tough to beat. It’s the center of global commerce and culture, and it stands as a symbol of American ingenuity, inclusiveness and resilience. A favored and often first U.S. destination of visitors from all over the globe, NYC is in the minds of many Americans. 

There is no way to see all the highlights of the most dynamic city in the world. There are so many options and so much to discover. NYC is a city of layers – the more one gets into it, the more one sees. First-time visitors must start with the outer layer – the icons.

New York City is rich with museums.  It has some of the world’s finest, whose vast collections and global reputations draw in lines of visitors every day.  It also has an incredible array of museums whose collections are more specialized and focused as well as some interesting ones which are a bit off the tourist radar.  This comprehensive guide covers a widely diverse representation of museums in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx that you should consider visiting while on vacation.

It’s true, New York City never sleeps!  A city of bests, it’s a year-round people magnet, especially in the summer.  With the warmth of summer, the always busy city ratchets up a notch as much of the action shifts outdoors.  The normally brusque demeanor of New Yorkers softens as they stream to outdoor venues and events.  As the heavy layers of winter are shed, a more casual, high energy vibe takes over the city. Everyone, everywhere gets into the act!
