New York: Midtown
Overview
Midtown is the center of many visitors’ trips to New York City. The beautifully restored Grand Central Terminal is paces away from the Chrysler Building, the United Nations complex, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Trump Tower.
Things to do
Behind the public library is the lovely Bryant Park, which hosts free movies and music events in summer. And what describes New York better than Fifth Avenue stores? Midtown also includes the new, revitalized Times Square and the Theater District, where world-famous Broadway productions wow audiences nightly. Have a drink at a forty-foot guitar-shaped bar and gaze at memorabilia from your favorite rock stars at the Hard Rock Cafe. The Museum of Modern Art, a midtown attraction now back in a larger renovated space, showcases the best in contemporary art. Make sure to stop by NYC’s Official Visitor Information Center (810 Seventh Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets).
