Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Museums

August 22, 2021 Myesha Cogley

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.

One of a kind operating barbershop where haircut and shaves is performed in an atmosphere of the beginning of XX century.

Small museum but still interesting. There are several works that are absolutely worth a visit. Last but not least, admission is free. Only a $ 10 offer is recommended.
