10 Sights & Landmarks in TriBeCa That You Shouldn't Miss
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

4. Woolworth Building
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,054 reviews
Learn how the biggest retail tycoon of the early twentieth century and a star architect changed the NYC skyline forever. Designed by the renowned architect Cass Gilbert in 1913 to be Frank W. Woolworth’s NYC headquarters, the Woolworth Building was the tallest in the world for 17 years. Long closed to the public, architectural tours of its magnificent vintage lobby are now available.

Great to see inside one of the most iconic NYC buildings in architectural history. The tour starts outside the building from the adjacent park, where the gothic facade in terracotta is explained in detail. We then viewed the grand cathedral-like lobby, the back staircase where the bank was situated, and finally the basement which contains the old bank vault. Our guide, Lisa, really brought the building and the Frank Woolworth story alive, much better than reading a conventional guide book could do. The building is still a business centre with many offices, so staff are continually coming and going which adds to authenticity of the tour. Tourists are therefore not allowed to enter the building unless they are part of the tour. The 60 minutes flew by, which gives an indication of how the guide kept our attention and interest. Overall, it was thoroughly enjoyable. I would recommend the 60 minute tour to everyone with a passion for NYC architecture.

Big and beautiful. It was about time New York got something by Santiago Calatrava. The Oculus is very well designed and integrated into the area, connecting with both transportation venues (the PATH station and the Fulton Center) and while there are the usual standard high end shops for visitors who cannot live without one of them in every city they visit, the structure itself is worth it.
6. GhostBusters Firestation

This is well worth a visit if you're in the area, especially for film fans! Wasn't aware before arriving it's an active fire station, so weren't allowed in at the time. However, there is some really fantastic Ghostbusters artwork on the pavement outside, which is great for photographs, also giving a nostalgic nod to it's celebrity status!

St Peter's is a small church near the 9/11 museum and memorial. Outside of the church, the 9/11 cross is on the sidewalk. As you walk up to the church, you see several statues of saints. The saints have plaques underneath dedicating them to various people that lost their lives in 9/11. The people in the wtc 1 and 2, the nypd, the fire fighters and ems and those who took part in recovery and rescue. It's very moving to see these. After seeing these, go into the church and reflect on all the lives lost on that tragic day.
