What to do and see in Turtle Bay, New York (NY): The Best Sights & Landmarks
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 Art Deco masterpiece is actually no longer the property of the auto manufacturer.

I have lived in Tudor City for several years after having travel the world . It is a quiet oasis with a charming community atmosphere . Close to everything yet far enough away from the maddening rush . Outside traffic is minimal and the serenity of the park is the jewel in the crown . I love hearing the school children play in the two playgrounds as their screeches of complete joy penetrate the air . The local shops — to include the wonderful Tudor City Cafe & the Tudor City Steakhouse just add to the rich diversity of the place . The buildings have old world character and are very well maintained . The staff are friendly and helpful to a fault . Apartments are affordable and provide a great value when compared to other city alternatives . I like looking out my apartment window at the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building to the West and watching the East River boat traffic to the East . In summation : I’m very happy here !

Unfortunately it was raining heavily on the day I joined a tour of the UN headquarters last October. This meant I didn't really see the outside area of the building. So I feel like I missed some interesting areas, views and artworks. However, it's a great experience to peer inside the heart of the UN and I highly recommend it. Our Egyptian tour guide was excellent, unhurried, clearly very knowledgeable about the building and the activities and functions of the organisation and able to answer all the group's questions. The artwork littered throughout the buildings is engaging and thought-provoking and walking into the General Assembly Hall, the Security Council Chamber, and the Economic and Social Council Chamber was memorable. Titbits of information that particularly interested me included worldwide military expenditure since midnight on the day I visited; $3,666,966,642 (in less than 24 hours - staggering) and a mural of the annual military expenditure from 2013 comparing that to Official Development Expenditure, the UN regular budget and the International Disarmament and Non-proliferation Organisations expenditure in the same year - also staggering. It certainly demonstrated priorities. An extra hour before the start of the tour is required for security issues and activities. Don't forget your official ID.
