    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    Worth the visit
    My husband and I brought our teenage boys to this museum and even though they weren't born on 9/11 they understood the significance of the museum. We spent nearly 3 hours there and could've spent more time.

    Review of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
    Must see in NYC
    Absolutely must see when you are in NYC! Especially if you love art, this is just amazing place, where you can easily spend entire day.

    Review of: Central Park
    Great park in the center of a bustling metropolis.
    We recommend you take the longer tricycle guided tour of the park. The guides are from all over the world and great people.

    Review of: Empire State Building
    Melbourne trip
    Great apartment, plenty of space, bathroom is good and the kitchenette is useful.
    Beds are comfortable and plenty of room for our stay.
    Aircon kept the room warm on the cold Melbourne evenings.

    Review of: Top of the Rock
    Phenomenal
    One of the best views in the city! Amazing at sunset, but very crowded. Love the view of the Empire State Building and the multiple observatory levels.

    Review of: Statue of Liberty
    Fabulous and fun tour! Amazing Tour Guide!!
    Our Tour Guide Billy made the entire trip very enjoyable! He gave us valuable information, helped us remember details, made us laugh, and made the tour interactive by asking us questions and providing answers. He even laid down on the ground in order to take pictures of each group. Plus, he was concerned about my toe issues and gave helpful suggestions and directed me to the Ranger's station. Billy is awesome!!!

    Review of: Brooklyn Bridge
    Amazing View - Lovely Bridge, go see and snap away
    Me and my friend ventured here and tried to use the subway, We did ask the chap in the subway booth which station we needed to get off but he was not helpful at all - too busy eating his lunch. So we end up getting off the subway but at the wrong station - we ended up in Williamsburg, so walked and walked, which was really lovely as it gave us an insite to NY that we probably would have never ventured out and discovered. We finally got to Brooklyn Bridge and all I can say is, is its beautifully structured bridge and it wonderful to approach the bridge and see the NY skyline. Loved it and was one of my fave days out.

    Review of: The High Line
    Lovely Area
    The Highline is a fantastic idea! It's a lovely walk with lots to see along the way. There are lots of places where you can get up to it and of course exit it too. It's a great way to get from A to B or to pass the time.

    Review of: One World Observatory
    Outstanding
    We absolutely loved our visit here, from start to finish. The building is just amazing, it really takes your breath away to stand at the bottom and just look up!

    The lift (elevator) is an experience in itself! It's really fast too.

    I won't give anything away, but when you leave the lift and watch the little film, consider filming it! I wish I had. Something happens that simply takes your breath away.

    A visit here is worth every penny.

    Review of: Grand Central Terminal
    A great structure, through which a lot of history passed.
    Superb architecture and imposing history of this building takes the visitor on a journey beyond what any train can venture.

    Review of: The Met Cloisters
    Amazing place
    Such a beautiful gem tucked away in upper Manhattan! I’m not a huge museum person (can’t stay focused) but I am a sucker for architecture and loved how all these European artifacts were displayed in this lovely space. It is around an hour by train but so worth it! The surrounding area is also lovely and feels like you are not in NYC at all.

    Review of: Rockefeller Center
    A little trick with tickets
    It could be a bit tricky to find a ticket office for access to the Top of the Rock. When you go down staircase and at the end of it, you should turn left , not right as security guards advise you at the entrance. Door to the ticket office will be a few feet away from staircase on the opposite side of hallway. Rest of experience was amazing. Must see while in NYC.

    Review of: Radio City Music Hall
    Fantastic
    Fantastic, this was a once in a lifetime trip and the RCMH did not disappoint. Family and myself were very delighted to see the inside of this historic building and to see
    the dancers and hear the music inside this famed building. Loved it.

    Review of: Bryant Park
    Interesting Park
    There's lots going on in this park, it's well worth a visit and is right in the thick of it. There was a piano concert going on while we were there. There are lots of chairs and places to play chess etc.
