    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    Good job at capturing and interpreting a major tragedy
    Good job at capturing and interpreting a major tragedy. It covers not only the timeline and testemonials of people that lived (or died) in the event but also the mindset of the terrorists and the scars it left.

    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
    Highlight of NYC trip
    We had an easy time getting tickets on line for a time frame that suited our NYC visit's schedule. We went around 5:30 and experienced no lines at all. I loved the interactive displays on the way to the elevator(s) -- that was unexpected to me, but a very cool way to learn about the site and its history, famous visitors, etc.. We were there on a hot, summer afternoon and appreciated the breeze up on the 86th floor. Great views, as expected, and we spent a pleasant time of roughly 30-40 minutes outside. This was a wonderful part of our NYC visit, and you should go, too!

    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: 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
    Great view of NYC and NY Harbor
    Super views. Only disappointments were the mechanical malfunction of the Observatory elevator that forced us to return the following day and the frequent steel dividers between the windows that obstructed wider pictures of the scenery.

    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.

    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
    Really nice park with yoga a few days a week
    Nice park close to Times Square. My wife attended the yoga a few days which she said was well organised, a lot of fun and she met a few local people. Nice place to sit and people watch.
