New York is a fascinating city. No matter how long you live here, you will always find something new. This city is constantly changing, every time it appears renewed and rebuilt. There are several unique places in it that you will not find anywhere else. But you will have to decide: will you go on the long-known routes or make the trip more unusual, Andrey Boychuk writes in an article for Immigrant porada.

Let's start with lower Manhattan and we will move up.

1. Freedom Tower (Freedom tower) - the tallest building in New York and America. The observation part of the building occupies 2 floors and 3 levels with observation floors with a 360-degree view. During the day, when the sky is clear, you can see all the districts of New York and even something beyond.

The observatory can be reached in a few seconds by an elevator that looks like a time capsule. As you climb, you can see what Manhattan looked like from its foundation to the present day - here the latest technology came to the rescue. Of course, you understand that these are all graphics, however, due to the speed of the elevator, everything seems almost real. To see what it looks like, you can watch a short video below.

Address: 285 Fulton St, New York, NY 10007

Price you can find out here.

2. Park High Line. In 2009, the first phase of my beloved and one of the most exciting parks in New York was opened. It is built at the height of the 2-3 floor and extends from 12 to 34 street. The park was created on an abandoned metro line. Construction was divided into 3 phases. All of them have already been completed, and only the communication between High Line Park and Hudson Yards is not yet fully ready.

This park is free and very interesting. Out of the hustle and bustle, you suddenly find yourself in an oasis of nature at a height of several floors - in a city where silence does not exist. There are also several viewing platforms here. The architect planned them in a very original way: if you sit on a bench, you can watch the movement of Manhattan. I saw that couples often come there for a romantic picnic.

Address: 10 Avenue, from 12 to 34 Street

Price: Free.

3. Grand Central - one of the oldest railway stations, which has survived to this day. The building is often renovated and is therefore in good condition. The architectural style of the building is mesmerizing.

Address: 89 E 42nd St, New York, NY

Price: Free.

4. Park Franklin D. Roosevelt For Freedoms (Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park) Is a park on Roosevelt Island located between Manhattan and Queens. From these areas, the island can be reached in 5 minutes. Once it was quarantined, because it housed a hospital in which patients with smallpox lay. Now this property is very expensive. In addition, one of the buildings of the expensive Cornell College is located here.

The design of this park was developed by the famous architect Luis Kahn - he impressed everyone with his work: the park is very symmetrical and balanced. The project was implemented around 2012.

Address: 1 FDR Four Freedoms Park, Roosevelt Island, NY 10044.

Price: Free.

5. Solomon Guggenheim Museum - an architectural gem of New York and modern architecture in general, another masterpiece of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This is a rather specific museum. The impressions from him depend on what kind of art you like and what exhibitions are on display in the museum at the moment.

However, the building of the museum itself is a work of art, the architectural style of which cannot be compared with any other building of that time. The whole house is a continuous spiral, there are no stairs in it. In the center of the building there is an open atrium to the entire height of the building. Of course, due to security regulations, the museum has a staircase that no one can see. My advice to you: if you are planning to visit this museum, take the elevator to the top floor and go in a spiral downward, and not vice versa.

Address: 1071 5th Ave, New York, NY 10128

Price: Can find by this link

6. Cathedral of St. John the Divine (The Cathedral Church of St. John the divine) Is the fourth largest Christian temple in the world. Its construction began in 1892 and continues to this day.

The 2 wing of the cathedral remained unfinished. The greatness and monumentality of the structure is breathtaking. And the height of the columns and the ceiling inside the temple make you feel insignificant compared to the building.

Adress: 1047 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10025.

Price: Free, but you can leave a donation.

7. Cloisters (The Cloisters)... This castle is one of the buildings of the Metropolitan Museum. In 1917, John Rockefeller bought the park where the museums are located, hired the same architect who designed Central Park, and he created Fort Trion Park. From the museum you can see the Hudson River and Palisades Park in New Jersey, which Rockefeller also bought at one time so that no one could build up this part and spoil the view of the park from the museum.

Adress: 99 Margaret Corbin Drive, New York, NY.

Price: The entrance to the park is free, and the entrance fee to the museum is recommended, meaning you pay as much as you can.

By the way, this list is not official. These are just places that we think are wonderful and that cannot be visited while in New York.
