Someone said that "If you live in New York, even if you’re Catholic, you’re Jewish" and so let's visit the Eldridge Street Synagogue.

Speaking of Parks there is the intriguing Washington Square Park, while once you'll be in the Greenwich Village you can't miss to visit 102 Bedford Street and the White Horse Tavern.The Greenwich village remains an iconic place for gays and lesbians and many are monuments and places dedicated to them.

In the East Village you'll be enchanted by the Astor Library, now transformed in a Theater.

In Chelsea the New York Public Library.

You can't miss if you afford to New York a visit and a pic close to the Waldorf-Astoria and the Hotel Plaza; the Ed Sullivan Theater deserves a visit like the Carnegie Hall. Oh, the story of Andrew Carnegie is enchanting. Please read it! And don't foget the book dedicated to him written by Marie Benedict.

Other places to visit are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Andrew Carnegie's Mansion. 

If you are a reporter goes to Blackwell's Island. There was an asylum dedicated to mad people. Nellie Bly, journalist and reporter close to mr Pulitzer entered in the asylum as a fake patient, discovering a horrible scenario. Her  reportage made journalism history changing the course of information and opening the so-called era of investigative journalism.

I can't forget to mention to you Central Park! It must be immense, beautiful and maybe the first place I would want to visit once there, Broadway and Empire State Building apart.

But...It's not important what you'll visit once in NYC. For sure that city will change you and your perspective on the world.

Enjoy this guide and bring it with you when you'll visit the city. Apart the description of the several monuments, there are also portraits of people who made NYC like Rockefeller, Carnegie, the Astorias and many more, plus a lot of stories and anedocts of a city unique in its genre.

Highly recommended book.
