Morning
Begin at Lincoln Center (see Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts) and admire the plaza, the Chagall windows at the Metropolitan Opera, and the Henry Moore statue in front of Lincoln Center Theater. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts on Amsterdam Avenue, behind the theater, is notable for its enormous collection of books on the performing arts.
Make your way up Broadway, window shopping and noting some of the landmark buildings such as the Apthorp Apartments and the Ansonia Hotel , and the West Side’s gastronomic palaces, such as Fairway, at 75th Street, and Zabar’s. Almost any of the side streets will reveal examples of the area’s great line-up of brownstone townhouses. Finally, head east to Columbus Avenue and Calle Ocho for a Cuban lunch.
Afternoon
The American Museum of Natural History can easily fill an entire afternoon, and the New- York Historical Society has an amazing collection on show.
Stroll down Central Park West and admire the landmark apartment buildings that can be seen here, and then head for Central Park , the city’s vast “backyard”. Take a boat out on the lake, or enjoy a gondola ride around it, followed by refreshments at the Loeb Boathouse, the perfect end to an afternoon.
