This once abandoned rail platform is now a mile long park. Many vistas of NYC like Empire State Building and Hudson River but also some very well done gardens. This is worth a trip to relax and enjoy the scenery. It is near 10th avenue and 25th street. We got some very interest photos from this location .

I felt like the local people don't really like special ethnic group of tourist, kinda no respect or a bit rude to them

At Christmas time it was beautiful. I loved it. Our husbands would not go with us but once us girls saw it we knew our husbands would be good with seeing it!

I was not sure what to expect on the trip because I have heard great things about the city and I have also heard not so good things about the people but I have to say it was GREAT! The people were very nice and helpful and there was not as many people there as I thought there would be.... More

We purchased tickets from home and had no trouble 'cashing them in' at Times Square. Our first stop was a walk to the harbor cruise, since we didn't arrive in the city until afternoon. The 'avenue' blocks are somewhat longer than the 'street' blocks, but even for us seniors, it wasn't a tiring walk to the pier. We had a... More

Rightly renowned city with countless attractions. Best views from Top of the Rock - spacious, less queues and really helpful staff. We also loved visiting Brooklyn Heights as a classy, quieter alternative. Central Park is also very beautiful.

If you go there are 2 things you have to do and they are The Statue Of Liberty and Central Park on a Horse and carriage absolutely brilliant. I also did all shopping centres and The Empire State which were also great.... More

We booked a two day (48 hour) ticket on line, picked it up at Planet Hollywood and by planning our trips we got excellent value and saved time. We took the down town tour and the guide gave us an excellent insight in to the southern Manhattan area, we hopped off at Battery park and walked to Ground Zero, Trinity... More

No issues with anyone. People are helpful and freindly. You always have to be careful, so just be aware of where you are and don't be afraid to look at a map or ask for directions. We found anyone we spoke with to be more than accomodating. Try the 13 Step Bar on 2nd & 9th, excellant place to stop... More

If you buy your tickets to the six big New York City attractions before you leave home, you will save a lot of TIME. Why? Because the booklets allow you to skip the queues. We saved at least an hour (and probably 2) avoiding the queue for the Empire State Building as you are whisked straight to the front of... More
