4Take a Free Tour at the New York Public Library
The New York Public Library’s main branch, located on Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street, is an architectural masterpiece. Visitors can take free tours of the historic building, which was completed in 1911. The library’s Rose Main Reading Room is particularly impressive, with its ornate ceilings, chandeliers, and vast collection of books. The library is also home to rotating exhibitions and rare historical artifacts, such as original manuscripts, that are free for the public to explore. Even just walking through the grand entrance and marveling at the lions, Patience and Fortitude, is a memorable experience.
