    You just can't go wrong with a stroll through this iconic park! Great opportunity for before or after the Museum of Natural History or the MET.

    Visiting The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum with my best friends was an incredibly moving experience. The memorial is beautifully designed, and the museum offers such a profound and thoughtful tribute to the events and lives affected. It’s a place that truly leaves you reflecting.

    The Metropolitan Museum is one of my favorite museum in the world now. I saw a lot of great works and actually took a long time to see all of them because every work has a story. Highly recommended

    As a New Yorker, I rarely do anything touristy. But this was very special for my family who was visiting and myself as well. The history and view are amazing but the customer service was the cherry on top. Every person we encountered had a smile. Renita Edmond was wonderful! It goes to show how far a smile and kind gesture can go!!

    The High Line is a unique gem in New York City that combines nature, art, and stunning views. The landscape is beautifully designed and fun to walk around.

    Definitely a must-see in New York. I read reviews saying that taking the free Staten Island Ferry would be enough to view the monument from the sea and planned to do that. However, my husband wanted to visit Liberty Island to see the monument up close, and I must say, it was worth it. The island wasn’t busy and we walked around calmly and took some amazing photos.

    Wow it's so lively and exciting to be there and being a huge fan of watching movies shot there so I always wondered how it must be. Its was very busy and everyone happy and enjoying the moment. Prices of food near by is very expensive, if you walk couple of blocks its almost half.

    This terminal has it all. Amazing architecture; great location; interesting shopping, high end markets for fish, meat, and produce; various small shops; an Apple store overlooking it all; and good restaurants for every budget. Ans trains in and out of Manhattan!

    It is truly a magnificent view of the Brooklyn Bridge, coming to New York and not cross the bridge would not be the same, if you want like us to cross the bridge then be ready to walk as its about a 40 Min walk but it is so worth it, i do recommend going during the evening as you get amazing views of Brooklyn in one side and Manhattan on the other side, we were quite concern to do this at night but i must say it is very safe, so you do not need to worry!

    If i was rich, I’d live there. Superb? I felt as if Fred Astaire were on my arm, or Gene Kelly dancing me down the street—just dancing, or singing in the rain.

    A Christmas Classic! The horn playing angel installation is my absolute favorite. We didn't ice skate, I did as a child, but there was plenty of Christmas cheer to be had just walking around the area and also enjoying the decorated storefront windows.

    Visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was unforgettable! The views of NYC are breathtaking, and the creative exhibits, like the balloon room, add so much fun. The elevator ride is an experience on its own! Watching the sunset from the observation deck was magical. Perfect for visitors or local it so nice

    Impressive, whether you look at it during the day or at night it is definitely worth having a look at the Manhattan Skyline.
