The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Hudson Yards, 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.

In NYC, nothing stands still. Up until the 1970s, the main industry in the Meatpacking District was slaughtering animals . Now its a mega trendy neighbourhood, full of top-end boutiques and fancy bars. The Whitney American art museum is a notable addition to the area. A fun way to get to the Meatpacking District is to take the High Line linear park, an old elevated railway line. The Meatpacking District is in the far west of Manhattan. It runs from the Hudson River east to Hudson Street, and West 14th St south to Gansevoort Street.

A Night with the Piano Man - Billy Joel - although he's 70 and it's his 112th time in Madison Square Garden (The Garden) - he still delivers a great and magically performance with an 2 hours of musical treats from his amazing singing career. A totally and absolutely fantastic experience, sometimes dreams do come true. The Garden is a magnificent concert stage with perfect sound, video screens and lighting. Great seats. The food service and selection is great and you are meet with service minded personal from outside the stadium to the seating inside. #billyjoel #billyjoelmsg #live #madisonsquaregarden #thegarden #nyc #manhattan #magic #dreamscometrue

42nd street is the heart of midtown and the street that I take all out-of-towners to. This is home to theaters, museums, and all the good (and the bad) that NYC has to offer. It is ridiculously crowded and bright, but that's exactly what a tourist wants to experience, at least during their first visit to the city. It is also home to some of the most famous NYC buildings including the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, New York Public Library, Port Authority Bus Terminal and all the way on the east side, the UN.

The Edge is an absolute amazing NYC based attraction and truly one greatest feats of architecture and civil engineering. Based in the Hudson Yards, the Edge boasts the highest outdoor sky observation deck in the Western Hemisphere with a superb state of the art design. The Edge is located in 30 Hudson Yards also known as the North Tower, which is considered to be the 6th tallest skyscraper in New York City. In April of 2021, I brought and treated my wife, Kat and myself for a visit to the Edge and we very much enjoyed every minute of our experience. Both my wife and I observed and took great pictures of the majestic scenic New York City skyline and also gazed at spectacular views of the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, the Hudson River, the Madison Square Garden and One World Trade City. We visited the Edge on a perfect, warm and sunny day and we absolutely astonished by the beauty and grandeur of New York City!!! Both my wife and I highly recommended that all domestic and international travelers take the time to visit the Edge, an absolute thrilling and one of a kind attraction!!!

A great-columned edifice; as much a post office as a monument to the vocation of postal carrier.

7th Avenue begins in the West Village and continues up to Central Park at 59th street. On the way, on 32nd street, you can find Madison Square Garden, at the intersection with Broadway Avenue it is the famous Times Square and at 57th there is Carnegie Hall. As the numbers of the streets go up - the avenue gets busier - it is the most crowded at the Times Square area. Cool, typical NYC avenue.
