What to do and see in Upper East Side, New York (NY): The Best Traveler Resources

March 16, 2022 Alida England

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.

Park Avenue Armory

Reviewed By srahnenfuhrer - Kenilworth, United States

I recently saw Judgement Day at the New York Armory. The play was a retelling of a story from the 1930s dealing with grief, sorrow, personal conscience, and group or mob mentality. The play was above average, but the real star of the show is the building itself. Beautiful, both inside and outside. Everyone should visit this building one time when in New York. Get tickets to see a show or production and be amazed at the architecture. You can even have a drink in the lounge, and transport yourself back in time one hundred and fifty years ago. A beautiful place to visit and be entertained.

Grolier Club

Reviewed By Bi-coaster - Bradenton, United States

One might not realize that this private club dedicated to books and book publishing opens its exhibits to the public. And for no charge whatsoever. We visited expressly to see the “500 Years of Works by Women” and it was well worth it. Consisting of selections from a massive collection of printed works from the 16th century onward, it is drawn from the Baskin collection at Duke University. There are lovely examples of printing and binding by women as well as numerous books written by women. This exhibit is on into early February and there was a smaller exhibit on the upper floor as well.
