Mayor John Purroy Mitchel Memorial
Sculpture
👍👍 I think this area is the most beautiful place in Central where you can see a lot of cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season. It's also safe.

St. Mary Star of the Sea

Lajos Kossuth Monument image

Lajos Kossuth Monument
Sculpture
👍👍 It is almost unbelievable that you can find a statue of Kossuth in New York. Although it is not close to the big landmarks in New York, let's visit it as a Hungarian if we can. It can be combined with exploring Central Park, as it is approx. It is a 10-minute walk away.

Bayard–Condict Building
Historical landmark
👍👍 Beautiful building and the only building designed by Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) in New York City. It was built between 1897 and 1899. Note the elaborate decorations on the front facade typical for buildings designed by Louis Sullivan. Early in his career Frank Lloyd Wright worked for the firm of Adl...

The New York Life Building
Historical landmark
👍👍 Can’t believe this place hasn’t got a review yet. It looks absolutely beautiful in the night light with the golden cap and to know this is 100 years old, makes it all the more historical and beautiful.

Hangman's Elm image
9
Hangman's Elm
Historical landmark
👍👍 Like history itself, the story of English elms in New York hasn’t been straight-forward. As the international cousin of the American elm, they have been referred to as the foreign elm, with debates about whether they’re native or nonnative to New York. This specific English elm, however, speaks for...

Mill Rock Park image

Mill Rock Park
Nature preserve
👍👍 A very underrated city park that is often overshadowed by the other more well-known parks. You'll find very few tourists and no cyclists. The beaches are never crowded. The best time to visit is probably in the dead of night.

Magnolia Tree Earth Center image

Magnolia Tree Earth Center
Historical landmark
😠 As an individual who has been following the Magnolia Tree Earth Center's renovation process closely, I must say that I am extremely irritated at the lack of communication from the center and the general public. The complete lack of updates and information has left me feeling frustrated and confused...

St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery
Episcopal church
👍👍 Based just on the historical aspects, a fascinating place. A Stuyvesant built the earliest chapel here in 1651. Present structure started in 1795 and this structure consecrated in 1799. The steeple was completed in 1828, wrought iron fence 1835. Its position facing true South is due to the site’s ag...

Original WTC Subway Entrance
Historical landmark
😐 A place that evokes mixed feelings, but they have rebuilt the area and transformed it into an interesting place with a lot to see other than buildings. There is a great bar.
