6 Art Galleries in Upper West Side 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.

Back in 2013, Banksy had a 31 day stay in NYC and left behind several pieces to be remembered by but at this time there is only 1 of his works that still exist. Should you decide to check it out the next time you are in the city, you will have to hike up to W 79th Street to see it (or take the 1 metro train which can whip you up there really fast from Penn Station). As you exit the station, don’t let the First Baptist Church distract you (it is gorgeous!). Go the opposite direction on W 79th Street from it and you will see the Banksy behind a thick sheet of plexi glass. Once you have seen it, walk up the street and buy something from Zabar’s to say thank you for protecting this remaining Hammer Boy.
