Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Historic Sites
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.

4.5 based on 191 reviews
This national memorial managed by the National Park Service was the home of statesman and United States Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Restored and reopened in 2011, the public can enjoy exhibits on some of Hamilton's achievements and challenges on the ground floor, a brief introductory film on his incredible rise from an orphan in the Caribbean to an indespensible molder of the early nation, and visit the furnished first floor by scheduled tour.

Very worthwhile visit, tucked away in a nice neighborhood in upper Manhattan, with an informative short video. Also very close to the CUNY campus, which is beautiful and worth a visit in itself.

Terrific walking bridge - oldest in NYC - connecting to the Bronx. The history is great - having originally opened as part of the Croton Aqueduct in 1848 and reopened as a pedestrian walkway in 2015 after being closed for over 45 years. Nice strolling bridge.

We went on a walking tour of Harlem and our guide pointed out Strivers Row. The buildings are very impressive and historically significant. It's a very pleasant neighborhood. The architecture and structures are notable for the quality of their execution. By the way, our guide said the minimum price for a residence in Strivers Row is $5 million.
