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

January 6, 2022 Kelli Reichel

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.

Meatpacking District

Located on the outskirts of the West Village, this area is becoming more upscale and gentrified.

In NYC, nothing stands still. Up until the 1970s, the main industry in the Meatpacking District was slaughtering animals . Now its a mega trendy neighbourhood, full of top-end boutiques and fancy bars. The Whitney American art museum is a notable addition to the area. A fun way to get to the Meatpacking District is to take the High Line linear park, an old elevated railway line. The Meatpacking District is in the far west of Manhattan. It runs from the Hudson River east to Hudson Street, and West 14th St south to Gansevoort Street.

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.
