What to do and see in Washington Heights, New York (NY): The Best Things to do
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.

Sorolla's commissioned Vision of Spain is a must see if you are a fan of Spanish masters or Spanish culture. It is currently undergoing a major renovation, but the murals are on exhibit on a limited basis. Our visit was overseen by a knowledgable young scholar and he provided much insight about the paintings. Highly recommend! The location is right at a subway stop, so don't let the distance persuade you not to visit.

A quiet oasis in the middle of New York City, a place to get away from the hectic pace, people-watch, hike or just ride a bike.

Finding our way from the subway station to the Cloisters, we took a rather roundabout route through Fort Tryon Park. It was sunny and (for the season) mild, and we enjoyed the view across the Hudson River. Strongly recommended, especially if you are planning to visit the Cloisters.
