Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

April 21, 2022 Marianna Hollaway

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.

42nd Street

Reviewed By psudino - Weehawken, United States

42nd street is the heart of midtown and the street that I take all out-of-towners to. This is home to theaters, museums, and all the good (and the bad) that NYC has to offer. It is ridiculously crowded and bright, but that's exactly what a tourist wants to experience, at least during their first visit to the city. It is also home to some of the most famous NYC buildings including the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, New York Public Library, Port Authority Bus Terminal and all the way on the east side, the UN.

Seventh Avenue

Reviewed By Neta_Avivi - Tel Aviv, Israel

7th Avenue begins in the West Village and continues up to Central Park at 59th street. On the way, on 32nd street, you can find Madison Square Garden, at the intersection with Broadway Avenue it is the famous Times Square and at 57th there is Carnegie Hall. As the numbers of the streets go up - the avenue gets busier - it is the most crowded at the Times Square area. Cool, typical NYC avenue.
