Top 9 Sights & Landmarks in Morningside Heights, 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.

We fortunately decided to pop into this stunning, beautiful and grand Cathedral when walking past it We was absolutely surprised by the Scale, Grandour and Architecture. The 125 year old Cathedral is a MUST to visit being The Largest Cathedral in the World: of over 2.3 football pitches in length There is so much to see and take in. The main Cathedral has supporting gothic beautiful smaller chambers.

I found it odd, this burial site for Grant and his wife, just because this isn't what is typically done here in the USA - except perhaps in DC. It's quite a grand structure - really beautiful and moving. Talk to to a ranger and take a tour. Then tour the surrounding area as well. Very very nice. Highly recommend.

When in NYC I had to make the journey to Toms diner, I was actually in the area for a work meeting stumbled across this and as a huge sienfield fan popped in for brunch. The food was pleasant I think mikes diner in Boston is better, but the iconic nature made this special for me Check it out if you have the time
