DK Travel : New York

With its skyscrapers, great museums, and bright lights of Broadway, New York is a city of superlatives. There are countless sights that have to be seen, but a handful are truly definitive of the city. These highlights illustrate the very best.

Metropolitan Museum of Art

It would take weeks to take in all the treasures of this mammoth, ever-changing museum that includes a collection of more than 3,000 European paintings. The Greek, Roman, Cypriot, and Asian halls have had striking new renovations, and the Howard Gilman Photography Gallery is a growing presence.
Metropolitan Museum of Art

More a collection of museums, spanning 5,000 years of global culture.
Metropolitan Museum Roof Terrace

Have a drink or just admire the prime views of Central Park and city towers beyond.
Metropolitan Opera House

Lincoln Center’s most elegant performance venue shows off glorious oversize murals by Marc Chagall inside great arched windows. The interior boasts exquisite starburst chandeliers that are raised to the ceiling before each performance. The theater presents the American Ballet Theater and many traveling groups, as well as its famous opera company (see Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts).
Michelangelo

A handsome, New York outpost of an Italian hotel, with unusually spacious rooms in a choice of Art Deco, French Country, or Neo-Classical styles.
Milford Plaza

Nice older hotel with great security and a great location
Millennium Broadway
