Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Nature & Parks
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.

Beautiful park in Harlem with tons of open space to hang out or go on a nice, long walk. We were there when all the trees were blooming and it was gorgeous!

I live in the area and have been to Larry's at least half a dozen times. They have a great selection of inventory, and even better, Larry or the staff will guide you to what you need (or don't need). My wife has also shopped here and had a really good experience. From kid's helmets, to racks, baskets, fenders, and general adjustments, they have always done a speedy and thorough job on our bikes. They are next door to a great coffee shop called Cafe Amrita, too. It is right at the 110th St B/C subway stop too.
