- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland30,982 contributionsCentral Park in Manhattan is a great place to visit any time of the year. That said, October brings so many colours out in the trees it’s really nice.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Given it was October, it was a lot of greener versus colorful flowers but was still a nice walk.Written October 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- noflyzoneWolverhampton, UK13 contributionsGoing later in the year it seemed less hectic,we had a great spot on the ferry against the rail on the top deck
She's the most iconic NYC view, but we went to the crown and it is frustrating following YouTube/tic-tocers or keen photographers, and we went on a drab day with poor views and there is not much point spending more than a few minutes up there, but as a 69 year old you can do it but it does take it out you, and I'm undecided whether it was worth the climb. It is a narrow staircase,tiring going up and awkward coming down ( there are rest spaces)
claustrophobics steer clear. Glad I visited overall .Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We paid extra for the beam and the sky lift which was a great extra, yes it was an extra cost but worth it. Staff were friendly and got you through quickly. I would highly recommend going here over the Empire State which was overcrowded and seemed disorganised.Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KazDevonLake District, UK77 contributionsSecond time here for me but the first time for my fiancé and he absolutely loved it. I visited 10 years ago and it has changed quite a bit, not necessarily for the better either, I still really enjoyed it though.
Positives: It is a magical and iconic place. Although it is very busy, we never felt unsafe. The lights from the billboards are always incredible and the place is filled with places to eat and drink, however, the establishments here are, as you would expect, pricey. There is always something to see or do here, including the iconic red steps, where, if you can get on them, you can watch the diverse world go by. There are street performers which are good to watch, be aware though, their main aim is obviously to get money out of you, so keep them at arms length if you're on a budget! We even saw The Naked Cowboy on one day we were there. Also saw filming of a 50's film taking place with lots of 50's cars lined up, this was nice to see. The theatre district is here too (Broadway) and there are many amazing shows to see if that is your thing.
Negatives: Far too many gift shops! Super, super busy, to the extent where you come to a standstill sometimes. If you don't like crowds, this is NOT the place for you. The smell of weed from every single street was overwhelming sometimes, this was not pleasant. People selling bus tours are everywhere, thrusting tour leaflets in your face, some are more polite than others. Beware of the scammers, we came across ones posing as musicians "trying to make it". They will autograph what appears to be a CD in return for a fee, there is no CD, it's just a piece of printed card. It's hard to get by them because they will try and get you to stop and almost block your right of way. The centre of Times Square is filled with "photographers" who will take your photo without your knowledge and then try and get you to part with your money for a copy of the photo. You need to be quite forceful with all of these people, politely dismiss them and keep walking!
Times Square is not everybody's cup of tea, but you need to visit it when in NYC, even just to say you've been there.Written October 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SJE99Melbourne, Australia947 contributionsThis is a landmark railway station in one of the most famous cities of the world. It really is a grand station with so many platforms on many levels. We enjoyed discovering the station and also enjoyed arriving on a subway train during our visit to New York. There are so many things to see here.Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- EsterHollywood, FL2 contributionsNew York is very busy.

- RazzyBthefirstMacclesfield, UK1,522 contributionsThe only drawback with taking this ferry is all the tour sellers trying to sign you up for something that is actually free. They were approaching us from about 500m away.
Really great way to see the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan from the water. Don't be put off by the size of the queue, we joined at the back and everyone got on. People cram down the sides of the boat to get the best views which is quite annoying.
Don't wait on the ferry to return, you need to leave the boat and get on the next one heading back.Written October 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are several high floors (91+)made of glass and mirrors. It's a little hard to find. You have to go into Grand Central Stadion and go down to find the entrance. Tickets are timed, and they do let you in at that time.Written October 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raquel ReisSantos, SP36 contributionsVery large market inside, many food options with places to seat inside, for different times of the day (lunch, brunch, just a drink).Written September 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DipuKVPune, India3,259 contributionsThe famed Manhattan skyline, visible as it comes into view when you drive to the city from the airport, or when you see it across the water from New Jersey or Staten Island Ferry, is sheer eye candy!Written September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sharon S3 contributionsThe staff at the Rockefeller were the friendliest of all of the people we interacted with during a three day stay in New York. As a person who is terrified of heights and lifts we had absolutely no plans to do anything but walk around and have something to eat, however, I knew my husband would love to go up to the top so I lingered near the entrance plucking up courage to suggest it. We were spoken to by a lovely young lady called Caminta ( sincere apologies for the spelling but I was in a high state of panic!) . Long story short...She gave me confidence to give it a go. I think she knew how frightened I was so once we had paid for the tickets she got us in the lift immediately before I chickened out!! I cannot describe the sense of elation that I had once I was up there and looking across New York. Even now I don't know how I did it. All of the staff were wonderful so this was our best MY experience. Thank you everyone!!Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
