A checklist of places/landmarks to visit for the cost of a subway ride:Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Promenade
Bryant Park
Central Park
The Chrysler Building* (42nd Street and Lexington Ave.)
The Dakota Building* (1 West 72nd St.)
The Flatiron Building* (175 Fifth Ave. at 23rd St.)
Fifth Avenue from 50th Street on up
Grand Central Terminal
Governor's Island (summer only)***
Why: It used to be a military post, then it became a Coast Guard’s installation. Now open to the public, it holds musical festivals and open-air theatre. Best of all, you can rent a bicycle for US$ 15.oo and ride around its flat grounds. Great views of downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty for a free five-minute ferry ride.
Madison Square Park
New York Stock Exchange* (11 Wall Street)
Rockefeller Center
Saint Patrick's Cathedral
Staten Island Ferry
Strawberry Fields in Central Park
St. Paul's Chapel
The New York Public Library
Times Square
Trinity Church
World Trade Center Site
*Not open to the public for visits or tours. It's really to just take a picture of.
*** Highly recommended.
