What to do and see in Times Square, New York (NY): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

January 12, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

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.

Father Duffy statue

Reviewed By 569gregs - Dallas, United States

It may appear as one of the most incongruous statues in The Big Apple, but this statue of the most decorated military chaplain in US history is superb. Right there in Times Square where discount Broadway tickets are now sold, you'll find this superbly crafted bronze of a Catholic priest who served in both the Spanish-American War and World War I. Given numerous medals for valor and service by the US and France, Father Duffy reminds everyone having a good time that there is a price for freedom which we all need to pay from time to time!
