  • 8. What to do and see Best things to to in New York City. Central Park. This famed 843-acre rectangular park offers a variety of beautiful recreational opportunities amid the bustle of Gotham. Joggers, nature lovers and bikers use the park daily. Kids young and old enjoy riding the Friedsam Memorial Carousel (near 65th Street), and the Belvedere Castle (near 79th Street) affords great views of the city Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island. These two sights represent freedom for millions of people, and the Statue of Liberty, a 450,000 pound gift from the people of France, is a must-see for anyone visiting the Big Apple. Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is a coalition of internationally renowned museums housing more than 2 million works of art. The Museum displays international work by artists from all styles, genres, and time periods. Empire State Building. One of the world's most famous skyscrapers is easily recognized by its strong, slender ascent into the NY sky.Observation decks are on the 86th and 102nd floors. The lower deck is probably the better spot for the best views. Staten Island Ferry. The best boat ride in the world! Leaving Manhattan, you gaze at the most enduring symbol of the city, the Statue of Liberty. Then you realize that skyscrapers are assuming postcard dimensions of grandeur behind you.
