Top 110 Things To Do In New York
What to do in New York?
101 Columbia University
Highlights are the Quadrangle, Cathedral of St John the Divine
and Low Library.
102 George Washington Bridge
Maybe not as famous as the Brooklyn Bridge the George Washington
Bridge is worth seeing. Below the eastern tower is a much loved
red lighthouse. George Washington also proudly fly's a huge American
Flag on major federal holidays.
103 Yankee Stadium
Soon to be ex-home of the New York Yankees. The Yankees are one
of America's top baseball teams. Going to a game is compulsory if
you want to claim you know New York.
104 (64) Sutton Place
Previous residents of Sutton Place include Freddie Mercury and
Marilyn Monroe and that’s just the Ms. Tread where the stars
trod, pranced and probably danced.
105 (120) FAO Schwarz Toy Store
From a child's prospective. Particular a small child. There are
few words that matter. Toy is usually high on the list. There are
few better things to do if you're a kid than visit a toy shop. Not
only does FAO Schwarz offer you a vast range of toys it is world
renown. The tricky bit maybe getting out..
106 (35) Center of Photography
The Permanent Collection has more photos than most of us could
take in a lifetime. Many are an important record of the past, most
are just great photographs. You can view the photographs from an
historical and artistic prospective or just a plain old wow! prospective.
Come and have a look at some great pics.
107 (36) Water Taxi Beach
Long Island City has a beach. The Water Taxi Beach. Nice views
of the big buildings, a not so real but so what sandy beach, beach
volley ball of course, a kitsch bar [naturally] and place to sit
and enjoy the scene. New York has it all.
108 (38) Marie's Crisis
This a great place for a sing-a-long with gusto. The piano man
is musically amazing. Nothing like a song to make you forget the
troubled world in which we live. Participation isn’t compulsory
but you might find it hard to resist.
Marie's Crisis is in Grove Street, between Bleecker Street and
7th
109 (43) Bryant Park
Close to Times Square and the New York Public library Bryant Park
is a beautiful, relaxing park in midtown. A real circuit breaker
from the hustle and bustle of a city that just keeps on coming.
There is an outdoor reading room, a food stand, countless tables
to eat or relax, a big grassy area for doing big grassy area stuff
and several nice restaurants/bars with great patio views.
110 (42) Battery Park City Waterfront
A wonderful urban space. See a side of New York most do not.
111 (54) Forbes Galleries
The Forbes Galleries is a museum of the interesting interests and
hoarding instincts of Malcolm Forbes, founder of Forbes Magazine.
Among the interesting interests are a few early versions of the
board game Monopoly and presidential memorabilia.
112 (56) West Indian American Day Carnival Parade
September, Labor Day, Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, West Indian
American Day Carnival Parade. The locals in dress in West Indian
bright clothing, there is dancing, music and fried chicken.
After your fill retreat to Prospect Park and head for Park Slope.
113 (32) Build-A-Bear Workshop
Teddy was always there. Never too busy for a cuddle. Whilst he
maybe lost to you in the wilds of time past there's no reason you
can't recreate him.
Stuff it, inject some animal into your life. You can justify this,
if you feel you have to, as you made a unique present for your cousin
or nephew or your friends daughter's nephew and if you never get
around to parting company with cuddles, well stuff happens.
You can personalize your Teddy with hundreds of bits of stuff that
the proudest bear would be seen stuffed of. Utilize your creative
side and dare to stuff a Teddy into your life (or someone else's,
just make sure it is a good home)
114 (61) Trump Tower
Glitz personified. Trump Tower stands as a monument to riches and
ego of developer Donald Trump. The Trump Tower atrium is just amazing.
The Tower defies the belief that you can have 'more money than you
can spend' or perhaps proves it. Visit and decide for yourself.
As you would expect the cafes and shops could be described as 'exclusive'
so be prepared for an expensive coffee break if required.
115 (70) American Folk Art Museum
The American Folk Art Museum has over five thousand works of art
dating back hundreds of years recording and illustrating the lives,
experiences and emotions of the American people.
The American Folk Art Museum sets the scene for a talented array
of expressive forms through a variety of interesting mediums. No,
I've no idea what that means either. Click below anyway.
116 (72) Central Park Stage
Numerous performing groups do their stuff on Central Park Stage
during the warmer months of the year.
117 (73) Guggenheim hosts Pay What You Wish
Donations please, on Friday evenings beginning at 5:45, the Guggenheim
asks you to Pay What You Wish - admission is by donation.
118 (86) Queens Library
You will find a number of free cultural events at the Queens Library.
Check the Queens Library website for details on poetry readings,
concerts, and other cultural happenings.
119 (100) Pomander Walk
Looking a little like a slice of old London (England), Pomander
Walk used to be home to Humphrey Bogart.
120 (105) Los Angeles
Fly to Los Angeles. There are 100s of things to do there as well.
