Roosevelt Island Tramway
@deleteduser4294966797
Take the tramway to go to Roosevelt Island. The view from the tramway is absolutely gorgeous and there aren't that many people doing this. Then stroll through Roosevelt Island and sit down on one of the many benches that face Manhattan for another amazing view.

Pier 57 Rooftop Park
@deleteduser4294966797
This is such a hidden gem! And it's located right across from Little Island. Everyone goes to Little Island but little do they know (pun intended 😜) that Pier 57 Rooftop Park has much less foot traffic and it offers amazing views of Little Island, Downtown, and the Statue of Liberty. Downstairs there is a food court so you can grab something to eat and head upstairs to the rooftop park to enjoy a snack with a view.

Elevated Acre
@deleteduser4294966797
Elevated Acre is probably the emptiest park you'll find in all New York because it's a bit hidden (you need to take escalators from the street level to get here). It has amazing views of Brooklyn Bridge and it's minutes away from the South Ferry area. You'll find lots of benches, tables, and a soccer field where you can have a little picnic or play some games.

Whispering Gallery in Grand Central Terminal
@deleteduser4294966797
This is one of the coolest things in New York! You whisper something at one end of the gallery and your friend, who should sit at the other end of the arch, can hear exactly what you said no matter how much noise there is around you. The gallery is located downstairs in the food court across from the Oyster Bar.

Macy's
@deleteduser4294966797
Everyone know about Macy's, but not a lot of people know they still keep the original wooden escalators from 1920-1930's. Head to the 3rd floor and above and step on a piece of history.
