Top 10 Things to do in Manhattan Valley, New York (NY)

August 11, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

Lion's Head Tavern

Reviewed By dantrainor - Boston, United States

A group of friends were having a mini-reunion near Columbia University and decided to tour the old neighborhood. We ended up at Lions Head and spent the rest of the night here. The tavern features an impressive an kitschy collection of what has to be over 100 bobbleheads from MLB to NASCAR. Comic book busts and other fun memorabilia line the walls. As for the beer selection, they seem to rotate local craft beers. Our bartender Drew was funny and attentive. When he overheard us talking about the old days, he introduced us to a few other locals and we swapped stories all night. Great times! Will return!
