I’m not a huge fan of art galleries but I can imagine if this is your thing you will love it. Lots of great displays, sculptures, portraits, landscapes and modern art. Maps available to help navigate this museum with ease. Spent an hour here but you could spend much much longer. Audio guides are available.

The park is big, with beautiful walkways, scenic views of the city, and lots if green space. There are also lots of things to do, like the zoo, ponds, and wildlife watching (mostly birds). We got food at the little place by the sailboat pond, and it was mediocre. All in all a good park, but I think I need to revisit when the weather is warmer to get the full experience.
4. Yankee Stadium

This famous ballpark opened in 1923, and the home of the New York Yankees.
Reviewed By Larry S
Maybe the best known franchise in the US if not the world. Coming to Yankee Stadium is an experience you won't forget. Soak in the history as you walk through the stadium and see the many bars and food stalls synonymous with NYC. Don't forget the monument to all the legends of the Yankees and there are some huge names, Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio to name a few. Make a point to get to go a game if you can.

We were so worried of visibility during this late winter spell, especially considering the hefty entrance fee.
Fortunately it was clear enough to have adequate vistas of iconic Manhattan and especially the amazing Empire State Building. Chrysler building views were partially obscured though.
Did not have to wait too long, I think less than 30 minutes to the top. Best views from 3rd floor of viewing deck.
A bit disorganized with the purchasing of the photos but I think worth the package price for the memories.

My second trip to the amazing grand central, the only time I’ve been to a station again without catching a train.
Credit to mrs Kennedy Onassis for her work on preserving this iconic structure.
Great place to just people watch, have a bite to eat or just take in the architecture. Whispering corner is quite fascinating especially for the kids.
9. Bryant Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 19 reviews
Bryant Park has a French-style merry-go-round, open year-round, plus a well-maintained lawn, with chairs and tables. The outdoor Reading Room has picture books and summertime story times. In winter. Take a spin on the free ice-skating rink. The park also has clean bathrooms, a rarity in midtown.
Reviewed By zaheergani - Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Some renovations were being done so not the same peaceful setting in bustling Manhattan I would imagine.
Recommend doing the park stop together with a visit to the adjacent ny public library.
Ample seating in the warm winter sun. Coffee vendors were busy, rides for the kids and a nice atmosphere otherwise.
