    Amadou Tours was Excellent, Knowledgable & brilliant Value. Must Recommend.
    Amadou Tours. Cycled us around this great place. Amadou knew the park really well stopping at All the Relevant places taking really good photos of us. 1st time in New York late Feb 23. Informative Amadou was a mountain of knowledge. Really good value. Make a beeline for Amadou!

    a must see in NYC
    if you're going to visit one place in NYC, this is it. we did not hire a guide, but we did rent a pair of the audio devices with headphones which were $10 each. Very much worth it. There is so much emotion that I felt during this visit. You can't help but be moved and changed. Never forget.

    Must see in NYC
    This is a definite for anyone visiting NYC. You can spend as much time as you want in this place and still not see everything. I would definitely get a map of the exhibits prior to visiting so that you have an idea of where to visit.

    The original and the best
    There's nothing better than the outdoor observation deck at the ESB. The views are spectacular! We went to the 102nd floor which was very cool. It's a small space but the views are amazing. There was an attendant who took the best pictures of us! I know there are several options for NYC observation decks but the ESB is the OG!!

    Breathtaking Views
    Breathtaking views. Go as early as possible in the morning to avoid crowds. In my opinion way better than the Empire State Building.

    Take the fam & friends out for a walk.
    The High Line is a marvel of adaptive reuse. This elevated park on a disused rail line runs from Gansevoort Street in the meatpacking district to Hudson Yards. During the warmer months it is packed with people strolling along or hanging out in the various nooks and crannies along the way. It winds it's way thru Chelsea and cuts thru the former Nabisco complex at Chelsea Market. At the Market it is possible to stop off for a nosh to refresh yourself before continuing on. This is the quintessential take the folks out for a fun time sort of adventure. Highly recommended.

    We love the Statue of Liberty
    We loved visiting the Statue. It's something that was on our bucket list for a long time. My son and I got to visit and definitely enjoyed seeing it. If you're planning your trip, do not wait to book your tickets. If you book long enough ahead you can get tickets to the top. we got pedestal tickets and very much enjoyed it.

    Striking Skyscrapers
    Always fascinating, Manhattan Skyline has that powerful magnetism of a large, modern city architecture, rising up to the skies. That feeling usually doesn't depend on the weather -- the skyscrapers and high-rises just look more colorful in the sunshine, and darker on the overcast days.

    Regardless, they dominate the cityscape and stand out, symbolizing if you will, a strong character of New York City in general, and its fabulous Manhattan area, in particular. Even at a distance of dozens of miles, I could still see some famous historic sites - city landmarks, business and residential high-rises.

    Fantastic images, strong impressions, long-living memories.

    One of my favourite things to do in NY
    If you really want to experience the big apple, walk this bridge. We loved doing this, our son also. It is busy but worth the walk and the photos are great. A must Do!

    Fun to See
    If you're close, drop by Grand Central Terminal. It's a beautiful, functional place. But, don't go out of your way....

    Must go!
    Broadway shows are a must-see when visiting New York City! The talent and energy on stage are truly electrifying, and the productions are a feast for the senses. From beloved classics to modern hits, there's a show for everyone. Our family was blown away by the performances we saw, and we loved the variety of shows available. Theaters are conveniently located throughout the city, making it easy to plan a night out. We also appreciated the safety measures in place to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Broadway shows are an iconic part of New York City's culture, and we highly recommend adding a show to your itinerary when visiting the city.

    You have to see it!
    I feel like Times Square is something that everyone needs to see at least once. I took my college-aged daughter for a NYC trip and we went once during the day and once at night after a show. Practice your resting bi!tchy face and ignore everyone wanting money. I agree with other reviewers about legalized pot as well. It stinks everywhere. I really don't care if someone chooses to do it but I don't want to smell it at every turn. It is pretty disgusting and almost as bad as cigarette smoke.

    Free what’s not to like!
    Free ferry ride across the river. Floated as an alternative to the Statue of Liberty tour for views of the the statue, it doesn’t really go past close enough for that. The highlight is the view of Manhattan skyline. Not busy and way to get a good view.

    Wonderful Stay
    From the second we walked in, we were greeted by Jo and Steven at the front desk......by name! It was my Granddaughter's Birthday, and she was presented with balloons, along with a couple special gifts from Jo and the staff. We were then escorted by Jo to our beautiful upgraded Jr Suite. Our room overlooked Bryant Park, which is my most favorite park ever. Bed was so comfy, large bathroom with a tub and shower and the room could not of been cleaner. Heater and hot water work great, no issues at all.
    We decided to have breakfast at KOI restaurant downstairs, which is a sushi place for lunch and dinner, but serves an amazing American breakfast. Marcos, our server both mornings, was wonderful and the service couldn't of been better. He even taught my Granddaughter how to fold the fancy napkins. He was absolutely fabulous. One morning we had breakfast a few doors down at Le Pain Quotidien. Food was ok, but the coffee was amazing.
    We were greeted every day by Rowan, the doorman. He also referred to us by name and my Granddaughter just loved him. He was always interested in what we did that day and what our plans were for the next.
    Hotel is walking to distance to just about everything. We did take a taxi to Battery Park which was sooooo expensive, but because I was with my 10 year old Granddaughter, I didn't want to take the subway.
    It's simply amazing how a wonderful Hotel staff can make or break a trip. This was a special get a way for us, and the way we were treated by Steven, Rowan, Marcos and especially Jo, we will never, ever forget it.
    Bryant Park Hotel, I will be back.
