Top 30 Things To Do In New York
26 New York Botanical Gardens
Awesome, fantastic way to spend a few hours. Am I
still in New York(?). Love this space.
The New York Botanical Gardens has its own metro - 20 minutes to
North at Grand Central Terminal - The Garden's Cafe is nice. Admission
is free on Wednesday which is better.
27 Coney Island
Some say Coney Island is just a playground and we are all invited.
See the Cyclones play, visit the aquarium, beach, boardwalk - see
a concert.
You won't get bored.
28 The Cloisters
The Cloisters is a wonderful museum with a great view of the Palisades.
29 (53) Federal Reserve Bank of New York
The highlight is the money of course. Show me the money (bailout?)
) somebody will probably ask and they will, you just can’t
take it away, no freebies etc. I am sure the guides love hearing
the same gags over and over again.
If you like yellow bricks and the idea of mountains of cash you
will enjoy the tour. The lowlight is the Fed's gold vault, which
is located underground 80 feet below street level, in the bedrock
of NYC.
The gold vault holds 900 tons of gold which almost enough to keep
the financial system afloat. You can see and touch the gold if you
have small enough fingers but, sorry, the gold stays where it is.
Another nice touch is it is free to do if you book well in advance
and can get pass the security.
30 Federal Hall
Federal hall, Wall Street
After a painful labor the US was finally born here at Federal Hall.
The US first president ......[don't look, you know you know this
one]....George Washington took the first oath of office at Federal
Hall.
Federal Hall is now a museum and memorial to George Washington
and the beginnings of the United States of America. Visit, find
out much about the birth of the US and improve your quiz skills.
