What to Do in New York (Manhattan)

The quintessential Manhattan activity is, of course, a Broadway show. (How Wicked!)

 

 

Empire State Building
Start your visit with a climb to the top of New York's longtime iconic structure. From the observation deck you can take in the panorama of the entire city. Be warned: on good viewing days (that is, good weather days), the wait to get tickets and an elevator ride to the top can be hours long.

Rockefeller Center
One of the first and greatest midtown building complexes, the central courtyard in the striking complex of art deco buildings becomes an ice-skating rink in winter and a terrace restaurant in summer.

St Patrick's Cathedral
Across Fifth Avenue from Rockefeller Center, the cathedral of the (Catholic) Archbishop of New York is a lofty Gothic church open to visitors most days, for free.

Fifth Avenue Shopping
Everybody loves strolling along Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, window-shopping, and even stopping to buy.
