The walking tour route I am sharing here takes you from downtown Manhattan, through mid-town to Central Park and the Upper East Side, taking in many NYC icons along the way, including: 1. Greenwich Village & Washington Square Park 2. Flatiron Building & Madison Square Park 3. Empire State Buiding 4. New York Public Library 5. Fifth Avenue Shopping ...
Start In Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village was the bohemian capital of New York in the 1950s and 60s, the epicentre of art, counter-culture and the LGBT community. These days, the quiet, leafy streets of Greenwich Village are amongst the most expensive places to live in the United States. Start in your walk in St Luke in the Fields Garden, which is a small church garden on the corner of Hudson and Barrow streets, in the heart of the West Village. It’s a very pretty spot that remains somewhat off the beaten path in Ne...
Washington Square Park
Whether you start in the West Village, as I suggest, or the East Village, the next stop is Washington Square Park. This is one of the best-known of New York City’s parks and spending time in it is one of the many free things to do in NYC. It features two key landmarks: the ornate marble Washington Square Arch and a large fountain. Take some time to rest and absorb the energy of the park. Its atmosphere is often vibrant, with street performers and people milling about. In the south-west corner...
Union Square Park
From Washington Square Park, walk up University Place towards Union Square Park. This route takes through the heart of the NYU campus. The distance is 0.4 miles and should take approximately 8-9 minutes. On the way, you’ll pass by a restaurant I like: the Gotham Bar & Grill. Just mentioning it in case you’re hungry for lunch at this point. Union Square Parkalso has a chess scene, so you could watch some games here – or play if you fancy your chances! There’s also a statue of George Washington...

This walking tour of Manhattan is fairly long, so it will pay to be prepared: 1. Wear comfortable shoes! 2. Bring water and something waterproof in case the weather changes (& check the forecast in advance) 3. Respect traffic & use crossings 4. Be aware the streets of New York can be dirty, cracked and uneven (it’s a gritty city, but I still love i...
I think the best time to do this walking tour of Manhattan is in the shoulder seasons: March to May and September to October. I originally did this on the last day of April, and it was glorious! Don’t be put off visiting New York when it is colder, though: there are lots of things to do in New York in winter and so many things to do in NYC at Chris...
Here are a few places I have stayed in New York recently (in 2024): The best hotel I’ve stayed in in NYC is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a luxury 5-star hotel: The Wall Street Hotel. It was spacious, plush, very comfortable, and came with all the amenities you could hope for. It was a wonderful oasis of calm to retreat to at the end of a day spent expl...
