The Mall itself is the place around which you will be spending much time if you’re here in DC as a tourist. That’s because everything on the top of most tourists’ lists is on or very near here.
Visit during the day--there are tours that stop here in the evening, but the lighting is really not sufficient to appreciate the Memorial after dusk.
A must-see, especially if you are visiting nearby Arlington National Cemetery
The sheer size of the collections on display are incredible & you could easily spend days going through this museum. If had had to nitpick, I wish it was easier to locate specific art or artists.
You have to bring every little boy here--it will inspire him for life (it did for me!)
Don’t call it “Grand Central Station” (that’s the name of the nearby Post Office). Iconic and a must-see while visiting NYC. The shops are more numerous and better than ever.
Professional, reliable, honest & knowledgeable staff. They have a good selection of quality luggage at reasonable prices.
The staff are friendly and helpful; on the small side for today’s chain-store pharmacies. OK if you’re in the neighborhood.
This supermarket has a real New York feel, filled with many products you won’t find elsewhere. It feels more like a specialty market than a place you’d go shopping every day, but you can & should!
The only mall to consider when in Queens. It has expanded much over the years, and is now impressive, with many shops and a great food court. It is well-maintained and a pleasure to visit!
This park started out as a Potter’s field in the 1700’s. Don’t look for Madison Square Garden, cuz it’s nowhere near here. Really nice oasis in the city.
Named for the long-defunct newspaper, the NY Herald, if you’ve been to Macy’s on 34th Street, you’ve probably passed through the square without even knowing. Lots of train connections in the area.
