Day in Upper East/West Side Manhattan

Central Park

Enter Central Park from 86th  If you do chose you can circle around the great lake. If you walk down south through the park, you can pass through the MET Museum, Loeb Boathouse, Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, and the Central Park Mall (not a shopping mall). If you choose to walk north you can walk by the reservoir and also head towards the beautiful conservatory garden while exiting on the East side to check out the many museums on Museum Mile!

I recommend either visiting the Summit or the Edge! They are new observation decks that offers amazing skyscraper experiences!

Time Square Area

If you choose to visit the Summit you can squeeze in several spots from Grand Central to Time Sq! You can visit Grand Central Terminal to visit the shops and take photos in the station with the clock tower. Then walk 2-3 blocks to NYPL which is free to enter! Right behind the library is Bryant Park. Few block from there you can walk to Times Sq to shop and take photos on the famous red stairs.
