61. Yankee Stadium

If you are a baseball fan, then this should be on your list of things to see. The new field opened in 2009, and although it is very like the original field, there are cup holders at every seat, and high definition scoreboards, making it a lot easier to watch the game!
There is a museum behind Centre Field, so be sure to check this out.
If you plan to watch a game, be prepared to spend a day here. There are plenty of food stalls where you can buy lunch.

 

62. Whitney Museum of American Art

You may also hear this called ‘The Whitney’. It is an art museum in Manhattan, and was founded in 1931.
The focus here is mainly on 20th and 21st century art, with paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs, and films on exhibit. There are works from over 3,000 artists on display. Most of the work is by artists who are still alive, so it is a very modern place to visit.
There is an annual exhibition which gives less well-known artists a chance to show their works.
Plan to spend a full day here; there is a café where you can grab a bit at lunch time.

 

63. Union Square

This used to be known as the spot where two of the busiest roads in Manhattan crossed. After that it became a place where rallies and protests have taken place. Now the biggest attraction is the permanently open Green Market which was started by farmers in 1976.
If you fancy a bunch of fresh grapes, or any other fruit and veg, then this is the place to head for. Thousands of local farmers bring their wares here every week, and it is one of the most visited markets in the area.
It may only take you an hour or so to look around here, but it is worth exploring the nearby area.

 

64. Church of St Francis Xavier

This church has served the Catholic community since 1851. It is located on 16th street in New York.
The church was originally founded by Jesuits. The original building was demolished in 1878 and then rebuilt in 1882.
Note the exterior which is Neo-Baroque. Pay attention to the stained-glass windows and the amazing paintings and sculptures inside the church.
It will take an hour or two to see the inside of the church, although you may choose to stay for mass and other services, which are published inside the church.

 

65. Helicopter tour of the City

A different way to see the ‘big apple’ is to take a helicopter tour. The tours last about 15 minutes, and you will get a birds’ eye view of such things as the Statue of Liberty, One World trade Centre, and the Chrysler Building.
The pilots give you a running commentary of where you are flying, and can answer any questions you have.
Normally the helicopters take of near Battery Park in the downtown area, Manhattan, and return you back there at the end.
There are several helicopter companies offering tours of the area.
Note that prices vary with each tour company, so be sure to check this out in advance.
