  • Stand on the top deck to watch Manhattan’s skyscrapers recede as you sail past Liberty, Ellis, and Governors Islands. Take the car deck coming home for close-up photos of the skyline (see Staten Island Ferry).

  • Stonewall Pub

    Next door to the Stonewall Inn, where a police raid on June 27, 1969, turned into a riot as gays rose up against constant police harassment, the present bar is far more peaceful, a sociable place for a drink or a game of pool.

  • Cozy, unpretentious lesbian bar where regulars sing along to the jukebox.

  • Gay Upper West Siders gather here in various states of dress and undress.

  • A shady patch of green behind the American Museum of Natural History.

  • Chic two-level lounge with cabaret shows and nightly DJs.

  • It has been the setting for dozens of romantic movies and countless proposals have taken place here. At dusk you can watch the sun set over the city as a million lights go on in its towers (see Empire State Building).

  • Away from the city’s clatter, this branch of the Met is an oasis of serene beauty, a chance to glory in the past while planning the future. More than 250 kinds of plant grown in the Middle Ages are found in these gardens. The Trie Cloister features plants shown in the Unicorn Tapestries (see The Cloisters).

  • Former estate with gardens and greenhouses.

  • Trendy, soaring space with changing light scheme.
