The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Midtown, New York (NY)
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.

You can get an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn or if you jump on the free Staten Island ferry the view is brilliant, it will also go past the Statue of Liberty so you can get some great photos. The ferry runs 24 hours a day and leaves about every 30 mins. The night time or sunset view is fantastic too.

Tucked away on the northernmost point of the new Hudson Yards shops this gallery showcases some of the most original art I've ever seen. In particular, BNS and DAIN are the artists that drew me into the shop. The art here is very modern and some of it may be mildly offensive to some, only making the shop more intriguing. Words on this site will not do this shop justice. Just go and visit it.

Famous street offering some of the most expensive and fashionable shops in the city.
Reviewed By IAmEve7 - Lexington, United States
Fifth Avenue is all that you've heard it to be...and more. We visit during the holidays which makes it even more festive because of the crowds of people, as well as the outstanding store windows, decorated to the HILT. This is where you stroll and dream, without necessarily spending a dime, as you walk by Cartier, Tiffany, Henri Bendel, Bulgari, Prada, Valentino, Lord & Taylor, Armani, Cole Haan, Saks, Bergdorf Goodman, and many others. St. Patrick's Cathedral is also on 5th Avenue and a must-see.

Attended the 2019 Holiday show, and was so impressed. The integration of tech graphics, the orchestra, live animals, the chorale singers, and of course the phenomenal Rockettes, into the sets was perfect. I hadn't been to Radio City in years, and it was as exceptional as I remembered.
