Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Sights & Landmarks

April 17, 2022 Nobuko Falco

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.

42nd Street

Reviewed By psudino - Weehawken, United States

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.

One of the skyscrapers that will catch your eye for sure. Stunning modern architecture and the best part is that the old building has been preserved.

A wonderful center just by Central Park. Fancy stores and several great restaurants. Some of the stores and dining options are quite expensive - but some aren't. Momofuku Noodle Bar offers delicious food, Center bar and other on the higher floors provide the opportunity to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful view of Columbus Circle and the park.
