You’re guaranteed to discover your favourite spot, so grab some brekkie from a local café and watch the world go by. Central Park is a unique place encompassed by locals, tourists, dog walkers, musicians and everyone in between. Be sure to hire a bike or take a leisurely morning stroll around one of the most stunning parks in the world.\n\nSmaller Earth recommendation: It’s no coincidence that Home Alone 2, Gossip Girl and The Avengers (just to name a few sources), feature the historically stunning Bethesda water fountain. You should rent a boat, paddle around the Central Park lake and fully succumb to the magical views of the fountains."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEwOq64SBSzNfSxsri8YI%2FSnaptik_7006454185910750469_pao-new-york-city.mp4?alt=media&token=2bf84ad7-5052-4ab0-8ac8-1d6fb41a4c19"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":662},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEwOq64SBSzNfSxsri8YI%2FSouthwest_corner_of_Central_Park%2C_looking_east%2C_NYC.jpg?alt=media&token=f189aa2f-01ca-4269-be3b-4fe2d4f13068"},{"metadata":{"width":640,"height":426},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEwOq64SBSzNfSxsri8YI%2F5-cong-vien-tot-nhat-o-new-york-de-tan-huong-tu-nhien-1.jpg?alt=media&token=334ab062-5dd9-4cb3-94f4-9c81fece6be7"},{"type":"text","content":"## Some places nearby"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.amnh.org/"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.metmuseum.org/"}]},{"address":"Grand Central Terminal","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10234184804510059,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":40.7528295636847,"longitude":-73.9768853},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Day 1, 2pm - 5th Avenue, Grand Central Station, Bryant Park"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":666},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEwOq64SBSzNfSxsri8YI%2F0667fee3-37c2-4be8-8d72-cf6c6c6d5e60.jpg?alt=media&token=731687d1-a977-438c-9dd7-0be6a5bd151f"},{"metadata":{"width":512,"height":288},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEwOq64SBSzNfSxsri8YI%2Funnamed.jpg?alt=media&token=04abe79f-1bc2-414b-a396-b1a6d76da9d2"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEwOq64SBSzNfSxsri8YI%2FSnaptik_7029801679281343749_norberto-briceo.mp4?alt=media&token=58079910-167e-423d-8d0e-99e589f9e199"},{"type":"text","content":"Head towards the Lower East Side on your way out of Central Park and you’ll stumble upon 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue.

Famous for grandeur, Grand Central’s marble stairs, impressive high ceilings and giant clock in the main terminal are all must-sees.\n\nSmaller Earth recommendation: The Whispering Gallery is one of Grand Central Stations hidden secrets (precisely why we love it so much)! Be sure to grab a friend, stand at opposite diagonal arches in front of the Oyster Bar and you’ll uncover some unique acoustics. Hint: whisper into the wall you’ll be able to hear each other.\n\nAfter all that walking, if you’re anything like us, you’ll be craving a nice cold beverage.

Grimaldi’s is one of the oldest pizza parlours in the city, so grab a slice (or 3) to take away and we’ll let your tastebuds say the rest.\n\nThere’s no better way to end your evening than watching the Manhattan skyline light up the sky as night starts to fall.
