    What an amazing building, the architecture is incredible, I love the engineering that goes into something like this, it’s massive inside as well, looks big on the outside and even bigger on the inside

    An extremely important crosstown street, wider than many. Famous as the historic location of theaters. Many of those are gone, but you will still find some on the West Side. And you will find Times Square, which is very crowded. This street also runs past the very beautiful Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station. Lots to see on a long walk.

    This is one of the best places in Manhattan, and it is really something new. It is a reclaimed elevated train line that had been abandoned for decoades, and then converted into a linear park. Fun to walk and see the changing neighborhoods and fancy new buildings, plus some old ones. Some good landscaping along the way. You can step off and explore some great neighborhoods down on the street level.

    This statue memorializing composer George M Cohan is appropriately situated in a prime spot at Times Square. Cohan is considered the father of the musical comedy and is responsible for some of the most well-known songs of all time including "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy", "Over There", "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Give My Regards to Broadway."
