    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    So glad I visited
    I'm amazed at how many artifacts they have in the museum. It was a somber visit, but I'm so glad I went. Amazing, well done displays. Highly recommend.

    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
    Woody Allen vibes !
    I think all those who watch Bollywood movies would have a ton od dejavus when they come here. Trust me, this park is full of nostalgia for movie lovers. This park has a Woody Allen kinda vibe !

    We had a lovely time at this park. We took a guided tour in a bicycle cart and it was so fun. Our guide, 'Babu' was so good throughout the tour. He also gave us a $20 discount on the offer price.

    Nevertheless, the park is absolute joy for all kinds of visitors, toddlers, the young and the old. So many people were taking a stroll, a run or just sitting by enjoying nature's bliss.

    I particularly like the fountain that's at the centre of the park. The water bridge is so cool and the sight of petite boats sailing under the bridge is such a pretty sight.

    You'd almost always find couples getting their wedding photoshoot done here. The park is at a walking distance from a lot of other famous places in New York.

    We were tourists, so we definitely loved this park

    Review of: Empire State Building
    Excellent viewpoint
    I was there twice, day and night and I can't decide which view was better. You should do the same and go there twice.

    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
    Architect's Playground
    I recently walked this artful walkway in the nighttime a little after sunset and I must say it is quite busy but after it is NYC. The high line is amazingly executed I appreciate the way it holds its own as an attraction despite having Hudson yards on one end and Chelsea Market and Little Island on the other. Nonetheless, they're all very cohesive and seamless transitioning. I suggest to fully grasp what the High Line offers is not to be in a rush. Rest on its organic seating forms, read a book, take a snack and enjoy with you go. Appreciate the viewpoints and the architecture and also people watching.

    Review of: One World Observatory
    Great tour
    I highly recommend the Mastercard VIP tour of One World Observatory. The day we were there was overcast and cloudy. The tour guide - Phillip - made the tour about the building itself, the surrounding buildings, and the City. He pointed out things when the clouds would break a little but he was very knowledgeable about the City itself and it made our cloudy day visit worthwhile. If you're looking for more then just a "view", the VIP tour is it.

    Review of: Grand Central Terminal
    MUST visit - a short guided tour even better!!
    This building impressed me way more than even imagined!! We were fortunate to go with a private guide (but I believe they do public guided tours as well). It doesn't take a lot of time but is exquisite and secret things to see inside, I recommend you do not miss this place in NYC!! Our kids loved it too!!

    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.
