- TammyOgden, UT4 contributionsThe premium tour was amazing! Renita was the best tour guide. She took us all around the building and showed us the ins and outs. She made the experience AMAZING! She is a true treasure, she takes the time to know each of the tourists and personalizes the tour for them. Renita and the tour has been the highlight of our anniversary trip.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IAlToronto, Canada291 contributionsThe best thing is that it is all for FREE! So you can go to the main branch of this institution, open since 1911, and marvel at the architecture and use the Rose Reading Room, or buy unique products at the gift shop.
I was lucky to be able to see this while NYPL was running the Polonsky exhibition. The Polonsky Exhibit had the library’s rare and old books; first drafts; letters & artefacts on display. So I was fortunate to be able to marvel at Shakespeare’s first printed copy of all his plays dating back to 1623; a Guttenberg Bible in Latin from the 15th century; George Washington’s farewell address of 1796 in his own handwriting (you can still read son of the words on it); cuneiform tablets from the Near MidEast civilizations from thousands of years ago; music composition in Mozart’s own writing; the original bear that inspired A.A. Milne’s classic, “Winnie the Pooh”; a 1726 copy of the New England Primer; an illustrated Ottoman-era text from nearly 509 yrs ago depicting the story of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad & the only one of its kind in N.America. And So Much More such treasures!
And this is right next to Bryant Park and walking distance to other attractions like Times Square and Empire State Bldg.
Please be ready to spend a couple of hours at this open and accessible center of learning! I guarantee you, you’ll leave feeling your views have shifted just a little.Written 13 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eva TUnited Kingdom4,986 contributionsOur first visit to NYC and we found it on the second day of our stay. The main entry from Herald Square had fab decoration and on the pavement was plaque commemorating centennial of the shop. The windows on W 34th St made me curious what I can find inside and it was a lot. On this side of the beautiful building (I loved it) we found plaque commemorating the beginning of motion pictures in April 1896! It's huge, the goods were priced OK, some more expensive than others but I think everybody could find something. Next time in NYC I will take bigger luggage and visit it again.Written 30 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan KNew York City, NY1,110 contributionsAs a New Yorker, the Thanksgiving Day parade is an important family tradition. You take your kids, they invite out of town friends, they take their kids, etc. People come from all over the world to see the floats and balloons.enjoy the performances, and just be showered with joy. The staff that works on putting the parade together do an inspiring job as there are so many people to outfit. This is a wonderful place to be if you are in New York during the holiday season.Written 3 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NikaNumber1Royal Oak, MI9,417 contributionsSo many food options.
Five Senses is always a good spot, K Town Pocha for some spicy Tteokbokki, spicy tuna and everything Kimbaps from the Food Gallery at the Gochujang kiosks are always yummy.
Her Name is Han is a decent spot, along with other popular spots, but expect to wait for a good half hour to an hour. Most places don’t have a lot of seating.Written 4 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tables, chairs, and serenity in the middle of Manhattan. I love NY!Written 6 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- walterJGDNieuwpoort, Belgium100 contributionsWe visited NYC and DC last year and we were fascinated. So we decided to return to NYC again.
We stayed in the same hotel on 44th west and 6 th avenue. At 2 minutes walk there is a supermarket and the Bryant Park.
In the park there are evefy day activities organised.
Movie in the park, free group yoga sessions, a jazz concert, a weekly bingo. Circus school for everyone ....
People gather in the park, use the free tables and chairs and bring their own food and eat and drink it with friends and familiy.
Most tourist guides recommend to buy a hop on hop off ticket for a day or half a day. But that is rather expensive.
I woul recommend to buy a 7 day metro card for 35 USD per person and use the public busses. And see NYC above metro level.
The busses are easy to use and you can go from N to S on one single line.
Or change whenever you see something interresting.
We visited China town and were looking for a terrace in the street.
But there are no terraces.
Probably because of taxes. Every body is sitting on the ground or on window sills.
A trip we recommend is taking the bus to the free Staten Island ferry and enjoy the short ferry trip up and down.
Last year we dined in a German beergarten at 500 meter from our hotel. You can find it easy on google.
German schnitzels, fries an a big beer. Deliceous.
We avoided McDonalds and Shack and shake because of the fast food.
We rather walked to rhe China deli next to our hotel on 6th Av and chose from a warm buffet whatever looked good.
Price 25 USD per Kilo or 2 LBS..
But you only pay what you put in your box.
Same with the supermarket Whoolfood oppositeBryant park.
Tourisr guides speak obout tips for whatever.
We gave now and then tips (5USD for houekeeping per day.
The women were very happy with this and gave us a super service.
We give the 5 USD from the first day until the last day.
Last year I had a 1000 USD budget for 20 days USA and I came home with almost all the money.
We went to the Chelsea Flee Market but the prices are too high and the products are not so iterresting.
But I do recommend the High Line walk and a visit to Chvelsea Market food courts.
Taxi at JFK.
Use only the yellow cabs. They have fixed prices.
We came out of JFK an were intercepted by a man who brought us to a big suburbqn. I asked for the price and he said it's by meter. But once we left there was ni meter and no taxi licence.
At arrival in Manhattan the driver charged ud 340 USD.
I said I would not pay andI I showed him 150 dillar.
This or you call the police I said.
And finally
he agrezd on 170.
The yellow cab would be 85 USD plus tip.
We would like to go back but we wait for the presidential elections before we decide.
Finally. The people are very friendly and if the see you are looking for something they will ask if you need assistance.Written 4 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Good street to take a crosstown bus as the traffic usually moves. Some delis and restaurants along the way.Written 4 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lizakqNaguabo1,695 contributionsThe architecture on this building is beautiful. Entrance is free of charge and you will find a lot of people here so it won't be as quiet as you expect. The Christmas tree was just amazing and the exhibitions were very interesting. You really could spend a couple of hours here.Written 27 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Doc218Workington, UK41 contributionsVisited this wonderful building with my wife and were lucky enough to take part in a tour hosted by Bro Louis Cooper. He was so informative and passionate about both Freemasonry and the building.
The lodge rooms are jaw dropping. The scale and decor are beautiful.
Well worth a visit for Masons and non Masons alike.Written 31 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Amy C1 contributionSo many “wow” and “ how” moments throughout the evening.
Unexplainable tricks. Very entertaining and attention holding.
Involved everyone in the audience to maintain authenticity.
Absolutely amazing.Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maltipoo16New York1,903 contributionsThis store is very large and has multiple stories. There is an escalator to bring you up and down, and the layout is kind of like a maze. It’s very hard to navigate and the signage doesn’t help much. The outside of the building is iconic, so hopefully H&M never goes out of business!Written 6 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN5,970 contributionsLocated along Bryant Park, it is also known as the American Radiator Building as it was built as the headquarters of the American Radiator Company. Completed in 1924, it is a combination of Gothic Revival and Art Deco. The dark brick structure and gold decorations makes for one of the most unique and beautiful historic skyscrapers in New York. It is now a hotel but well worth admiring if strolling near Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan.Written 28 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
