Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Midtown West, 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.

Attended the 2019 Holiday show, and was so impressed. The integration of tech graphics, the orchestra, live animals, the chorale singers, and of course the phenomenal Rockettes, into the sets was perfect. I hadn't been to Radio City in years, and it was as exceptional as I remembered.

The NYC Times Square Hilton is a beautiful, clean and very modern facility with great access to all of the principal activities of NYC, including Broadway, Lincoln Center and the poignant sights of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. The price was great and every part of our visit was made more enjoyable by this comfortanle facility in the heart of everything that's happening in NYC.

Lots of fun to see a taping. The audience really gets hyped up. Didn’t like the waiting for hours prior to being seated!
8. Good Morning America Studios

We watch GMA most days. We requested tickets about a month or so before our visit to NYC and got general admission tickets within an hour or so. We hoped to be upgraded to priority but were not. We arrived at the studio a little before 6 am on a very cold rainy day. It was actually easy to see where to line up and, we felt, very organized. Because there was virtually no one in the priority line we (and everyone near us) was upgraded to priority and got in fairly fast. Everyone we had contact with was very pleasant! It was so much fun to see behind the scenes! The warm-up guy worked very hard and really involved the audience. He was quite funny. Seeing the anchors was fun, seeing how it all works was both educational and enjoyable. We got good looks at all the anchors who were there that day. It was a high point of our visit to NYC. I highly recommend the experience as long as you accept some details, such as requesting tickets as soon as the date you want becomes available, the need to get there early, and the rules once you get in - such as using the bathroom before you get seated, not being able to leave and then renter and certain restrictions on using your cell phones. If you relax and embrace the experience you’ll have a great time!
9. 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.

Amazing selection of books and manga among other stuff! The little cafe upstairs was great too, got a few little treats and sushi. Which I was hesitant about because, most prepackaged sushi tastes like rubber, however theirs was soft like butter, it was pretty good! Well worth the trip if this is your sort of thing :)
