    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    A must-see!
    A great museum that honors everyone who perished as well as those who survived and aided the injured. Moving displays that keeps the memory alive of that time and those who lost their lives. Plan a couple of hours to see this museum.

    Review of: Central Park
    The Incomparable Central Park
    No trip to New York City is complete without a stroll in Central Park! It is the quintessential NYC experience which features Bathesda Fountain, the Boating pond, Bow Bridge, tons of walking trails, wonderful flowers, huge boulders for taking a sit, numerous lush green lawns, and so much more! You’ve gotta get there!

    Review of: Empire State Building
    So glad we experienced this!
    Although pricey, we are glad that we took this tour. So interesting to see the depictions of the building of the Empire State Building, to learn the history, and walk out on the deck to see the city below. The staff were very helpful.

    Get the sunset entry!
    Me and my partner went up the rock on the sunset entry and what an amazing time we had! Fantastic views all around the top, with a mixture of indoor and outdoor viewing points! Another must have on New York!

    Review of: Brooklyn Bridge
    An item marked off my Bucket list!
    Had to walk a mile to get to the entrance of the walkway to walk across the bridge, but it was so worth it!! The fog had set in so all I could see was the bridge. The skyline had been wiped out of sight. It was quite an experience and I was able to mark an item off my Bucket list.

    Review of: One World Observatory
    From bottom to top, very well done!!
    We did the ONE Dine and Observatory combination. We went into Freedom Tower about two hours before our ONE Dine reservation. We had time to check in thru security, get our dinner tickets, go up in the elevator, which was awesome by the way, and go thru the observatory at a leisurely pace before time of dinner reservations. The hostess was very friendly and informative. The waitress, Stephanie, was very attentive, friendly, and funny. The food was fabulous. The views were breathtaking. Watching the city change from daylight to night time was awesome. Highly recommended!!

    Review of: Rockefeller Center
    So fun!
    We went to Rockefeller Center on a Friday night and roller skated to the 70's. Everyone was dressed the part and the music and lights were amazing!

    Review of: Bryant Park
    Small park with big ambiance
    Bryant Park offers guests both shaded bench and chair/table seating as well as in full sun on the main lawn. Both offer restful views for the strolling public. The park is also adjacent to the main public library which often has varied art or other collections to view and enjoy. Great places to visit often and unwind.
