What to do and see in Union Square, New York (NY): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

October 15, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

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.

Reviewed By dek909

I had some issues at first but Adorama helped and resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. I shall consider Adorama in the future for all of my company's production equipment. I am pleased with my experience with the 24-70mm f2.8 GM and will recommend others to Adorama and Sony film production equipment. The UV filter functions well.
