What travellers are saying
- Neys TCalifornia6 contributionsCentral Park is an urban oasis with its lush landscapes, iconic landmarks, and tranquil spaces. From picnicking on the Great Lawn to exploring the beautiful pathways, it’s a fantastic spot to unwind. Don't miss Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge for stunning views. A must-visit!Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Craig MLiverpool, UK77 contributionsWe walked from Hudson Yard to The Chelsea market.. What a brillant idea turning a disused railway into a pathway.. Filled with plants, shrubs, trees and character. The walk was delightful with stunning views of Hudson along the way. The highline has benches to rest your legs. Soak up the views and architect..Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ibilola DCalgary, Canada55 contributionsThe lights are spectacular at night and the music bicycles rides is an experience.

- Martin BMelbourne, Australia2 contributionsImpressed with the views, just make sure to get the basic entry tickets, as they try to up sell you on a lot of items. The Skyclimb isn't worth it, only 10 floors up overhanging the edge platform, and i thought you would be hanging on the other side of the building.
You can be assured, the glass floor ceiling is German engineered :)
If booking online, make sure you take a screenshot of your purchase, as they did not send a confirmation email and helpdesk took 24 hours to respond, i showed my screenshot and reception sorted it out.Written 7 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some fancy restaurants for those on expense accounts. At the lower end you have the West Village.Written 24 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- The Five Road Trippers 🚙🎡🎢🧳Long Island, NY16,122 contributionsSeventh Ave is a safer avenue for a walk after dark. There are many tobacco and cannabis shops along the way. Less of a marijuana smell than Eighth Avenue. Plenty of quality eateries and discount pizza.Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Doris BUSA314 contributionsI went here with a friend and we walked half-way across the bridge. There are good views of the Harlem River but it is difficult to take pictures due to the tall chain-link fencing on each side. The pavement design changes mid-way across indicating the division like between Manhattan and The Bronx. It's a good place for a walk on a nice day.Written 4 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Matt SBrighton, MI2,272 contributionsA cool perspective on Central Park from this area. A very relaxing and peaceul spot. Not necessarily easy to get to, but pretty cool part of the park.Written 4 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- USCKaboomNew York City, NY4,792 contributionsNot everyone knows but you can make your way from 51st to 57th through the buildings in midtown. It's a nice way to avoid some of the crazy tourist midtown trafficWritten 5 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The Five Road Trippers 🚙🎡🎢🧳Long Island, NY16,122 contributionsEighth Avenue is not glamorous. Your on the border of west midtown and Hell's Kitchen. There are seedy bars. drug dealers, motorcycle gangs, etc. It explains the extra large police presence.Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,546 contributionsGeneral Worth Square is a nice square near to Madison Square. Nice memorial and it is a good place to take a photo.

- Cruiser65143159687New York City, NY2 contributionsWe happened upon Shorakkopoch Rock as we were exploring the park, and wow, what a find. We enjoyed reading the history of the rock and it spurred a wonderful conversion and a fun dive into researching the area, this specific story and the subsequent result of what happened here. Highly recommend.Written 4 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Monica SCleveland, OH53,869 contributionsSmall Square off 72nd Sq Subway (1, 2 and 3) lines. Nice spot to relax, eat lunch, breakfast, dimner or snack on a bench or wait for your subway or bus to arrive.Written 25 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,546 contributionsNot sure what all the fuss is about. Plenty of horse drawn carriages and usual New York stuff but nothing special about this plaza.Written 29 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
