Top 10 Historic Walking Areas in New York City, 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.

This is a must see on your visit to NYC. It was raining on the day that we visited but it is majestic and moving in any weather conditions. Make sure you check out the Survivor Tree - the Pyrus tree that survived 9/11 - very awe inspiring. Looking forward to seeing the memorial again on our next visit, but this time lit up at night.

The Shorakkopoch Rock marks the spot where the Dutch may have bought the Island of Manhattan from the Lennape Indians. No one is too sure where the transaction took place but this is where the village was located and there was a three hundred year old Tulip Tree that died in the 1930's that mark the spot where Peter Minuit and his men offered $24.00 worth of household goods to settle the island making it one of the best transactions in the history of real estate. The Rock sits in a bend of Inwood Hill Park and is one of the nicest most underrated parks in Manhattan with views of the giant "C" for Columbia and the relaxing Muscota Marsh where wild life reins free. It has the last of the virgin forests on Manhattan and a view of the old Indian Caves. Don't miss this important part of history plus a nice walk around the park.

Just off time square at Duffy Square side under the big red steps go to the booth as hawkers are hanging around offering all kind of incentives ta great service. Tickets become available for that evening at 14:00hrs and I believe to get the best is to be open minded to get a real bargain.
10. 42nd Street

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.
