Top 45 Things To Do In New York
What to do in New York?
41 Cathedral Church of St John the Divine
The Cathedral Church of St John is the world’s largest cathedral.
So tall that the Statue of Liberty would fit comfortably under its
dome. If religious conflicts could be settled by a game of football,
there is room enough for two football fields within the church.
Apart from its sheer size the Church is architecturally stunning.
The gothic cathedral soars overhead with its stained glass windows
glinting down. The gardens provide a beautiful setting and the wandering
peacocks provide the finishing touch to a memorable experience.
The Cathedral is located on Amsterdam Avenue near West 112th Street.
You should also have a peak at the Columbia University which resides
nearby.
42 (22) United Nations Headquarters
A been there done that sort of place. Worth seeing
if only for the building and statues outside but don't be too concerned
if you don't have the time to bring about world peace.
If you have some interest a tour is a good idea. The
history and values of the United Nations are important even if it
doesn't always achieve its ideals. The tour includes the General
Assembly Hall when not in use. When the flags are flying the Assembly
is open for business. You can get free tickets to sit in on a council
session. You'll need to call the information desk for a ticket.
Book well in advance as seats are limited.
43 (109) Queens Zoo
If you get the chance to enjoy the American wilderness then you
should take it. If you can experience it without even leaving New
York City then what are you waiting for. The 12-acre Queens Zoo
in Flushing Meadows Corona Park boasts over 60 spectacular species
roaming around in naturalistic surroundings representing wild lands
of North and South America. Stroll down a wooded path and meet up
with a mountain lion. Venture across an expansive plain to witness
bison grazing in the grass. Look closely up at the trees and you
may be rewarded with the sight of spectacled bears relaxing in the
branches. For the kids there is a charming barnyard area where you
can feed less wild animals.
44 (101) Big Apple Greeter
Get in early for free Big Apple Greeter. These guys are busy, busy
but happy happy with it. See the neighborhood of your choice with
a neighborhood expert.
45 The Late Show with David Letterman, New York City
If you are a fan then this is something you have to do. If you
aren’t a fan then you don’t. If you are with somebody
who is a fan then find them another fan to go with.
