An emerald expanse in the thriving, concrete jungle that is New York City, Central Park lies in the heartland of the Manhattan borough. It commences its labyrinthine stretch from Midtown, all the way to Harlem. It was created in 1857 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who envisioned a sprawling green space in the center of the island. The park spans 843 acres (341.15 hectares) and bustles with life throughout the day, even as the layered, multi-hued fold of the city's skyline unfolds at its hem. The park's 21 playgrounds are speckled with ornate fountains, sculptures, myriad bridges and arches, together forming an urbane respite where several come to find peace from the city's chaotic pace. Attractions within the park include the Bethesda Fountain, the Conservatory Garden, Belvedere Castle, and Central Park Zoo.
Open to visitors from April until November, the Bailey Arboretum offers up a world of color during that time: daffodils kick off the season, followed by flowering trees and a variety of annuals and perennials all through the summer.

Many events are hosted here, along with guided walks and other educational opportunities. No entrance fee for children 16 and under; $3 for adults.

Deze massieve kathedraal, gelegen tegenover de Rockefeller Center op Fifth Avenue, is de grootste katholieke kathedraal in de Verenigde Staten. Met zijn twee ten hemel rijzende 330-foot (00 meter) spitsen is St Patricks kathedraal ook een van de meest spectaculaire architectonische bezienswaardigheden van de stad. Constructie op basis van de neogotische structuur startte in 1850 en werd afgemaakt in 1878. Binnenin schept het op met zijn capaciteit met 2500 zitplaatsen, ontelbare altaars en zijn glas-in-lood ramen, en een gigantisch orgel met meer dan 7300 pijpen. Diensten worden gedurende de dag gehouden en voor New yorkers stappen binnen voor een moment van sereniteit in hun anders zo hectische levens.
