But there is a lot more to see in this part of Manhattan:

They include El Museo del Barrio where you can find an excellent collection of Latin American Art and the Museum of the City of New York dedicated to the culture, people, and history of New York, both half-a-mile away (800 m). A little further on 88th and 82nd streets are the world famous Guggenheim and the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art).
- Central Park: no need to introduce this giant park in the heart of New York City, haven for strollers, athletes or daydreamers who can spend an entire day playing sports, walking around and enjoying the surroundings or simply lay down under the shade of a tree and relax!
- Restaurants: Walk 10 blocks north on 116th Street and you will find many affordable restaurants, including some of New York's best Mexican food! Try Taco Mix, Sandy, or El Nuevo Caridad. To find the original New York thin-crust pizza, head 0.8 miles (1.3 km) north to Patsy's pizza.
