Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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 is a very interesting place to visit if you want to understand the feeling and the vibes of this Manhattan neighborhood. Its most distinctive feature is the Washington Square Arch, a triumphal marble arch built in 1892. I visited this lively square on a Sunday, and it was really crowded, with children and their parents, and lots of young people strolling around, taking pictures, playing games, and having a good time. Under the arch there was a man playing a very large piano, surrounded by people enjoying the show. The square is surrounded by the buildings of NYU; therefore lots of students and faculty are always around the park in their free time. You can have a picnic at the square, play chess on the stone tables, talk to your friends, hang around the large circular fountain located in the center of the square, enjoy the different types of plants, flowers and trees, or just relax sitting on a bench.

Stonewall National Monument is a new national park unit located in Christopher Park, part of New York City's Historic Greenwich Village. It is a park in progress with limited services, and in the coming years services will be added to the park in cooperation with our partners. The Stonewall Inn, a bar located in Greenwich Village, New York City and the immediate area was the scene of events that began the modern struggle for the civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans.

My wife and I, along with our friend who is a gay man, deeply enjoyed this place. He had been here before it was made into a National Monument but was very happy to see it again. As a young lesbian growing up in Oklahoma, I never thought I would see something like Stonewall. It was deeply moving and very serene. Highly Recommended to anyone but especially those who are LGBTQ+ because this is where our rights started.

The external image of the Cosby house can be found at 10 Leroy Street. The brownstone townhouse makes multiple appearances in the famous television sitcom. While entrance into the building is not an option, this external architecture presents a lovely photo opportunity.

As huge Friends fans we couldn’t miss a chance to see the apartment building while in NYC! It’s a short walk from the Christopher/Sheridan Sq. Subway station and the neighborhood is really cute and quiet. Great place to stop by for a pic if you’re a fan of the show.
