NEW YORK CITY
November 2-7, 2025
Day 1: Arrive in the Big Apple
You will find that New York City during autumn is a place unlike any other. Those with an artistic spirit are thrilled to find the iconic cityscape painted with the vibrant hues of fall foliage.
Whether you've been to NYC many times or this is your first adventure in the big city, your guides will help you discover all of your new favorite places. to explore and/or rest up for an exciting week!
​
Day 2: Creativity, Cat cafes, and China Town
The juxtaposition of historical preservation, feline companionship, and cultural immersion creates a unique tapestry in certain urban areas. The Tenement Museum, a historical site dedicated to preserving the stories of immigrant families, stands near cat cafes where you can interact with adoptable cats. These cafes also play a role in cat rescue and adoption, easing shelter overcrowding. Meanwhile, vibrant little cities blend historical narratives, contemporary social experiences, and distinct cultural expressions!
Day 3: From the World Trade Center to Broadway
The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and opportunity, stands proudly in New York Harbor, a beacon for those seeking a better life. Its presence is a powerful reminder of the city's rich history and its role as a melting pot for immigrants. The World Trade Center, a former symbol of American economic power, once stood nearby, and its destruction in 2001 deeply impacted the city and the nation. While the World Trade Center is no longer there, its spirit continues to resonate in the ongoing reconstruction and the resilience of the city. And, Broadway, the heart of New York's entertainment district, continues to thrive, offering a vibrant stage for dreams and creativity!
Day 4: Brighton Beach and Coney Island
Although Coney Island in Brooklyn is synonymous with summer fun, autumn along Brighton Beach, known as Little Odessa, is home to a large Russian-speaking community, offering a unique blend of Eastern European and American traditions. This is a place where you can find everything from shashlik and honey-pepper vodka to authentic Russian stores and boutiques. Coney Island, with its iconic boardwalk, amusement rides, and beaches, is a bustling destination for both locals and tourists, offering a mix of entertainment, recreation, and a taste of the past.
Day 5: Nature Walks and Candlelight Tours
Day 6: Secrets and Magic
The New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx provides a serene escape with its diverse collections, gardens, and exhibitions. In contrast, we will go on a candlelight tour of the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral that will transport us with an eerie allure to a hidden world beneath the city's streets, revealing the city's history and the resting places of notable figures.
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, with its innovative architecture and interactive art installations, offers a unique and immersive experience. Then, we're off to Grand Central Station, with its whispering gallery that offers a sonic curiosity, creating a fun and unintentional acoustic effect. The combination of modern thrills and historical charm creates a sense of magic in these iconic NYC locations.
​​
