The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th and 12th Avenues. The recycling of the rail line into an urban park has revitalized Chelsea.

Through informative walking tours (free public tours or private tours), visitors have the opportunity to learn about the High Line's history,

The High Line is wheelchair accessible via elevator at Gansevoort Street, 14th Street, 16th Street, 23rd Street, and 30th Street; and also at street-level at 34th Street.

The following are not permitted while on the High Line: use of skateboards, smoking, walking dogs or riding bicycles on the walkway.

Central Park is an urban park. It's the most visited urban park in the United States and one of the most filmed locations in the world.

The park contains several natural-looking lakes that have been created artificially, extensive walking tracks, bridle paths, two ice-skating rinks (one of which is a swimming pool in summer), the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, a wildlife sanctuary, a large area of natural woods, an encircling running track, and an outdoor amphitheater, the Delacorte Theater, which hosts the "Shakespeare in the Park" summer festivals. There are also playgrounds for children.

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an American Art Deco skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of Rockefeller Center. It is the 14th tallest in New York City.

The observation deck atop the skyscraper, dubbed "Top of the Rock", is often considered the best panoramic city view. It offers a view of the Empire State Building, which cannot be seen from its own observation deck. The larger observation deck also results in shorter waiting times compared to the Empire State.

The deck, which is built to resemble the deck of an ocean liner, offers sightseers a bird's eye view of the city, competing with the Empire State Building 61 m higher.

The building is most famous for housing the NBC television network headquarters.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the largest art museum in the United States, and is among the most visited art museums in the world.

The museum is also home to encyclopedic collections of musical instruments, costumes and accessories, and antique weapons and armor from around the world.
