Things to do in Midtown Manhattan
Rockefeller Center
Bryant Park is a piece of serenity smack in the middle of Midtown Manhattan. Great place to sit down and enjoy a coffee in between meetings.
Rockefeller Center is vibrant year-round and downright dazzling in the wintertime. Visit for the iconic Christmas tree and ice skating.
The elegant, stately Morgan Library and Museum, once the private library of banker J.P. Morgan, is all wow factor. If you love historic architecture and historic manuscripts, don’t sleep on this one.
