    I had some private family business to take care of in Central Park. I happened upon the Hallett Nature Sanctuary, which was a beautiful oasis within the oasis of Central Park. There were winding trails with lookouts and rock outcroppings overlooking water below. Before I went in, I encountered a park worker, Austin, who really helped me out. He stopped what he was doing and showed me his favorite parks of the sanctuary, where he would bring dates in the past, and later, his kids. It was clear he loved Central Park and loved working there. I really appreciate his kindness that day.

    Didn't go to the museum but went to the memorial so emotional. A lot of people around but so quiet and eary. What a beautiful tribute to those who sadly died that day. Brought back that day watching the tragedy unfold from the UK.

    Our guide was great! He got us around to many of the important exhibits, and helped us with suggestions for other works of art to see after the tour was over. We will definitely use Kevin Draper for tours on our next trip to NYC!

    I moved to NYC a year ago. After visiting over 35 countries and hundreds of cities I can definitely say that Empire State Building is by far the most incredible building in the world! I also watched Home Alone 2 there, that made an ultimate Christmas experience!

    We did the Rockefeller Center architecture tour. The key to this tour is to have a great guide, and Jonathan was that guide. It was a wonderful, informative, and educational tour. Jonathan really knew his way around and his sense of humor made the tour exceptional. We really enjoyed it and would take it again.

    We recommend booking crown access months in advance - we missed out. The pedestal access still offered amazing harbor views. Security lines were lengthy, but seeing this iconic symbol up close gave us goosebumps.

    Times Square is exactly the American icon it means to be. Flashing billboards, tons of people, characters dressed in tacky costumes hoping tourists will pay them for a picture, and lots of shopping and restaurants (the latter were not as impressive, as most of the restaurants and stores right on the square are chains. Try a food truck instead). It was fun just to walk around and people watch.

    Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge was an unforgettable experience! The views of the Manhattan skyline are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The bridge’s iconic towers and architecture are amazing up close, and it’s a perfect spot for capturing great photos.

    Even though it can get busy, the lively atmosphere adds to the charm. Whether you’re walking with friends or solo, it’s an unforgettable way to take in the beauty of New York City. Don’t miss it!

    Stunning district as always. Lights, buildings, shows everywhere. It's still crowded and absolutely deserve to visit and to see any performance.

    The American Museum of Natural History is a must-visit in NYC! It's massive and packed with fascinating exhibits for all ages. Highlights include the butterfly and Hayden Planetarium exhibits, the impressive 4th floor featuring mammal displays and dinosaur fossils, and the grand lobby with a giant dinosaur skeleton. Arrive early to explore fully and consider buying tickets online to skip the line.

    Great views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis island. Punctual ferry. The terminal gets v busy and theres a stampede to get on but the photo opportunities are great.
    Beware of the people selling tours outside- the ferry is generally free.

    Very busy but lots of good food options in one spot! We came right from the high line and it is also very close to the little island. It was decorated very cute for Christmas

    Take the free tour and find out so much about this library. It is second to the Library of Congress for the size of its holdings. Beautiful building with quite a history. The Rose Reading Room is beautiful and olde style. The Library Treasures Exhibit is amazing. The Library is next to Bryant Park which is also a nice visit.
