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.

The Shorakkopoch Rock marks the spot where the Dutch may have bought the Island of Manhattan from the Lennape Indians. No one is too sure where the transaction took place but this is where the village was located and there was a three hundred year old Tulip Tree that died in the 1930's that mark the spot where Peter Minuit and his men offered $24.00 worth of household goods to settle the island making it one of the best transactions in the history of real estate. The Rock sits in a bend of Inwood Hill Park and is one of the nicest most underrated parks in Manhattan with views of the giant "C" for Columbia and the relaxing Muscota Marsh where wild life reins free. It has the last of the virgin forests on Manhattan and a view of the old Indian Caves. Don't miss this important part of history plus a nice walk around the park.

Branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that was constructed out of sections of French medieval monasteries, offers an extensive collection of statues, paintings, stained glass windows and tapestries.
If in the mood for time transportation, check out the glorious Cloisters Museum in northern Manhattan. Yes, a bit of a schlep to get there (take the A or 1 subway) but worth it. Once there, a quietly serene transportation back to the Middle Ages - like walking through an exquisite monastery - the whole 9 yards, what with winding staircases, tiny chapels, gardens, crypts, and galleries loaded with amazing Christian art. And several gorgeous gardens, with breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades (cliffs) of New Jersey on the opposite side of the river. Never mobbed with tourists (unlike its Mother Museum The Met), the Cloisters can be enjoyed on dual levels. Medieval art in a unique museum that doesn't seem like a museum, or just a quiet place for reflection and/or contemplation, in a placid environment. In manic, maddening, Manhattan.

Take the tramway over from 59th & 2nd Ave for a great view of the island and Manhattan. You can take the red island bus for free or walk south to the park past the Smallpox Hospital. It's a great, quiet park, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with nice views and a memorial to one of our greatest presidents.

Inwood Hill Park is one of the most unrated parks in New York City for tourist visits. There are such amazing views and sights to see in this park. You can walk the wandering paths to the Indian Caves or walk to the top of the hill for views of the Hudson River. There are paths to ball fields and jogging routes and lots of places to just sit down and relax. Don't miss the Muscota Marsh on the edge of the park or the Shorakkopoch Rock where the Island of Manhattan was bought from the Indians. Enjoy the views of the Hudson River and don't miss the C for Columbia painted on the rock formation across the river. Inwood Hill Park is a magical place to explore and relax.
