7 Architectural Buildings in Midtown West 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.

Reverent Christian worship place in a stunning setting. This beautiful church modeled on Paris' Saint-Chapelle was built in the late 1800s. Breathtaking Johnnes Kirchmayer wood carvings, Valentine D'Orgries murals, artwork and archtecture (see the descriptions of photos). *Note: Nov 2019 the front exterior is currently shrouded in scaffolding - do NOT let this deter you from entering and appreciating the interior beauty of St. Mary the Virgin.

Opened in 1902 and renovated in 2012, the Algonquin has had a long-standing reputation of hosting literary movers and shakers almost from the beginning. Located on 44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, it’s close proximity to the Theater District is no wonder that Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, John Barrymore, Tallulah Bankhead and William Faulkner were all regulars here. We liked our room, the staff were all pleasant and helpful and the price is very fair for New York City. Be sure to look for "Hamlet" the House Cat. The Blue Bar and it’s Al Hirschfeld artwork is a good place to grab a drink and the lobby bar and the Round Table have live music on some evenings. Certain places just have a warm and inviting feel, and the Algonquin is one of those. Check out my photos for more details.
7. Cort Theatre

I have been watching broadway shows for decades and had the privilege to the see the original casts of Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and many comedy or other musicals and serious pieces. This was the first time that I have seen a mentalist show and we thoroughly enjoyed the theatre and the show. We had such a blast laughing in disbelief (can't give away the plot). The theatre was ornate and our seats in the orchestra enabled us to view the live show with interactive parts with audiences quite well. Even glad that the greeter subtly told a patron to shut down his phone which was distracting , trying to text and read with brightly lit lights while the rest of us try to enjoy the show.
