The Best of New York
|
Grand Central Station tours
Take a free Wednesday lunchtime tour of this magnificent building, featuring the station's majestic concourse.
Gotham Bar & Grill
One of the city's priciest dining experiences, but the service, environment and, of course, the food are all impeccable.
Unicorn tapestries
There's plenty at the Cloisters Museum to tempt you this far up Manhattan, most notably the recently restored fifteenth- and sixteenth-century unicorn tapestries.

Central Park
|
Coney Island
Eat a hotdog at Nathan's and take a ride on the Cyclone rollercoaster - not necessarily in that order.
|
Chrysler Building
Inside, you may not be able to view much more than the lobby, but this building perhaps defines New York's skyline more than any other.
|
Brooklyn Bridge
Take the less-than-a-mile walk across the bridge, taking in the skyline of the Financial District as well as the Harbor Islands.
|
Katz's Deli
A slice of the old Lower East Side, with over-stuffed sandwiches served to you by the wisecracking guys behind the counter.
|
Central Park
Whether taking a boat ride, watching Shakespeare in the Park or picnicking in the Conservatory Garden after going to a museum, you'll find everything about Central Park fantastic.
|
Chinatown
Manhattan's bustling, most densely packed neighborhood - come here to eat, shop for Asian delicacies or just to wander around.
|
Baseball at Yankee Stadium
If you're here between April and October, it would be a shame not to take in a ballgame, and there's no better place than the Bronx location they call, simply, "The Stadium."
