10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Upper Manhattan (Uptown) That You Shouldn't Miss
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 national memorial managed by the National Park Service was the home of statesman and United States Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Restored and reopened in 2011, the public can enjoy exhibits on some of Hamilton's achievements and challenges on the ground floor, a brief introductory film on his incredible rise from an orphan in the Caribbean to an indespensible molder of the early nation, and visit the furnished first floor by scheduled tour.

Very worthwhile visit, tucked away in a nice neighborhood in upper Manhattan, with an informative short video. Also very close to the CUNY campus, which is beautiful and worth a visit in itself.

Terrific walking bridge - oldest in NYC - connecting to the Bronx. The history is great - having originally opened as part of the Croton Aqueduct in 1848 and reopened as a pedestrian walkway in 2015 after being closed for over 45 years. Nice strolling bridge.

This memorial is a wonderful tribute to the firemen in the aftermath of 911 attack. It has captured the soul and essence of all that perished on that tragic day. A lot of planning and design has gone in to preserve this beautiful memorial.

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
