The Netherland Monument is a sculpture located at Battery Place and State Street, The Battery in Lower Manhattan, NY. It’s open every day of the week from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm. It’s the only gold-leafed inscriptions that I’ve seen in the park. It’s a gift from the Netherlands to New York City and written in English and Dutch. I find this to be a tremendous expression of friendship from the Dutch.

Hudson Yards is New York's newest neighborhood and tourist attraction and home to over 100 stores, restaurants, offices, public art and dynamic cultural institutions. Here you will see The Shed, modern residences, 14 acres of public plazas, gardens and groves and the world's first Equinox Hotel. It’s located between 10th and 12th Avenues from West 30th to West 34th Streets. The No. 7 Subway is the main conduit to and from Hudson Yards. It connects to Times Square and beyond from an eye-catching new station, located steps from the east lobby across Hudson Park. It’s breath-taking especially at night and a very busy place. I enjoyed every minute walking around and discovering every inch of Hudson Yards.

The Pat Dolan Trail is a tourist attraction located at Willow Lake Preserve Trail, Flushing, NY. It’s open everyday from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. The Trail was named after its founder and first president of the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park Conservancy. Today, she’s remembered as a dedicated park advocate who frequented the trail, which crosses the Willow Lake Forever Wild Preserve. We accessed the trail from the west at 72nd Road and the Grand Central Parkway Service Road, although it can also be accessed from the east at the Van Wyck Expressway overpass at Mauro Playground (73rd Terrace and Park Drive East).

The James Gordon Bennett Memorial is a historical landmark located 1 Herald Square on Sixth Avenue and 34th Street, New York, NY.
