    This walk offers an interesting view of the city on an elevated walk. We absolutely enjoyed it, though it's really dependent on a good weather. The walk is chill and beautiful if you're in for it. We started the walk from Hudson area and ended at Chelsea, and did not finish the entire walk.

    This place was amazing. Very moving and really well done. Very respectful. Can't believe I got to hold things that were kept from 9/11. Highly recommend

    Definitely a tourist activity that is a must do in NYC if you know the show Friends. Of course, it is just a facade and not their “real” apartment, but fun to see.

    Enjoyed a few hours at the Whitney. Well laid out and easy to navigate. Nice view of Manhattan from some floors too. Would recommend.

    We had dinner here, and it is a great neighborhood for restaurant searches. All sorts of cuisines, formal and informal,, lots of outdoor seating. There is also a lot of charm here, narrow tree-lined streets with attractive row houses and apartment buildings. Well-served by the subway system. Stroll around, especially on a warm evening.

    Very near to Chelsea market and the Highline . We had few hours to spend in NYC before our flight in evening . Had lunch at nearby market and then strolled the island park . Must do if you are in the area. Highly recommended .

    A somewhat new addition to Manhattan, and very welcome as this very long linear park provides much loved recreation space in the middle of town. It runs along the Hudson River and links up many important neighborhoods. You can take a short walk or a very long one, all good. Great views. You will see a lot of people using the park.

    It was very unique and fun. It has 2 floors and multiple photo opportunities! It was smaller than I expected but still something cool to do if you’re visiting. Especially if you have children!

    Pier 45 is a very long pier with a great view of the skyline. There weren’t many people there when I went, and it can be quite windy, but there is a great view of New Jersey as well as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

    Everybody loves this place, and for good reason. It's one of the best-known and most respected jazz clubs in the city. The sound system is excellent and the vibe is terrific. Drinks are inexpensive, and the price of tickets is quite fair.

    Owing to the placement of a column near the small stage, I'd suggest arriving on the early side to make sure you're not in one of the seats with an obscured view.

    This is a branch of the New York Public Library. What makes it worth visiting is that it looks like it had been a church in the past. The outside looks like a church and inside there is an interesting winding staircase with some pretty stained-glass windows. This is not really worth going out of your way to see, but if you are in the area, it is worth stepping inside for a few minutes.

    The Carrie Bradshaw Apartment is an icon from the popular show, “Sex in the City”. You can visit the apartment in the West Village and you can tell which one it is because there is usually a crowd of people in front of it. (It’s the one with the Ukrainian flag).

    Got this tip from a friend just before flying and took a chance to visit Smalls Jazz Club because we were in the neighbourhood. They had seats available and we stayed! Always would come back!

    St. Luke’s Place is in the middle of a busy and somewhat run down street. Mixture of buildings, some look great and others not good.

    We visited the Stonewall gardens as a family. Our daughter has a picture book on Stonewall, and it was important to us for her to be able to make a physical connection to the place. Suggest using the QR codes on the photos to look up who the people are as you walk along the fence.
