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

June 6, 2021 Margarita Chappel

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.

West Village

Reviewed By maritoalbarracin - Buenos Aires, Argentina

THE WEST VILLAGE is like my Home in NYC. I appreciate every step that I did there! Manorial houses and Pent Houses, nice people carring beauty dogs in a slowly atmosphere, so much different of the Times Square...Nothing in the World is better to Me than walk by Broadway in the 70 or 60 St!...

Wonderful place to hear a concert, especially around the holidays. Right in the middle of Greenwich Village, this Italian church looks amazing inside.

Stonewall National Monument

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.
