Depending on where you are in Connecticut, New York City can be anywhere from two hours to a mere 45 minutes away. Take a train into Grand Central and start your visit admiring this elegant station with its iconic clock atop the information booth and the constellation-covered ceiling. From there, walk over to the public library guarded by stone lions and relax in Bryant Park, before heading downtown to the towering Empire State Building. After a lunch of classic New York pizza, brave the subway to Battery Park, where cruises sail past the impressive Statue of Liberty. Finish the day admiring the lights and billboards in Times Square before taking in a show on Broadway.
