    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    Very sad but a must if you visit
    The museum has been laid out very well with lots of artefacts from the tragedy. You proceed downwards with various displays but the lowest section is the saddest, where you see videos and hear the voices of the people who perished

    Review of: Central Park
    Great Park, Lots of History
    We went in a Rickshaw with a guide called Ziya who was brilliant , he had lots of knowledge about Central Park. He took us to places where we could take photos and had lots of knowledge about everywhere in the park.
    Well worth the costs, we had a great time.
    Whole trip was about 45-60 minutes long and a great way to see Central Park.
    Highly recommended
    As we walked into the park via 7th Ave entrance we were greeted by official rickshaw drivers and this guide was great for us. He showed us his official badge which you just have to operate in NY for tourists.
    Well worth the trip, we would do it again

    Review of: Brooklyn Bridge
    Walking Along Brooklyn Bridge
    After passing the innumerable street vendors peddling souvenirs, you finally access the walkable passageway in the center lane of the bridge. You can see the cars below you left and right. The walkway is made of planks of wood, easy on your feet. Comfortable shoes are a must. There are few resting benches along the way. It is windy up there and there is no shade.
    Lovely views of the surrounding sights, a memorable and historic walk you should not miss.

    Review of: Manhattan Skyline
    The city of Scrapers
    Just as impressive from the waterway ferry as from the sky in a plane or a high rise lookout point. A breathtaking sight indeed!

    You See It All
    Loved the historical photos and explanation from Lester Holt on the history. The elevator ride is interesting as the ceiling lights up.
    Enjoyed the multi level view of the Big Apple

    Review of: Grand Central Terminal
    amazing
    huge, cavernous space. Great to get out of the hot sun and watch the busy travelers go back and forth.

    Review of: Rockefeller Center
    Beautiful square with the magnificent Rockefeller building
    Another must see area of NCY. Just take a walk through and look up! Skating rink was closed but we could have gone into the building to the viewing point but had done a few others already. Worth a visit - even it its just to go to Tiffany's! ;)

    Olivia Rodrigo concert in a beautiful location
    Never been to RCMH before. I loved it. The inside of the building was a iconic and beautiful as the outside. Went in April to see Olivia Rodrigo there and what a show!
