This is, of course, one reason why seeing all of those sights in the flesh is so enticing and exciting &#8211; but equally, half of the joy of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing is the never-before-seen and the brand-new &#8211; so be sure to mix up your exploration of New York\u2019s icons with these lesser-known treasures when you\u2019re considering which unusual things to see and do in NYC.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_City_Hall_Station\"><\/span>1. City Hall Station<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Opened in 1904, this was New York City\u2019s first ever subway station and looked more like a ballroom, with its elaborately designed vaulted ceilings, glass tiles, chandeliers and skylights. It was never used as a ballroom, mind you &#8211; but it was hardly used as a station either, not only because the nearby Brooklyn Bridge stop had better connections but because City Hall\u2019s curved platform limited the trains that could stop here. It was eventually closed in 1945 but if you stay on the Number 6 line beyond its terminating stop, you\u2019ll be able to see the station as the train curves back around the line.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/subway_main.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15911\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/subway_main-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"city hall station\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_6_%C2%BD_Avenue\"><\/span>2. 6 \u00bd Avenue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Manhattan\u2019s numbered streets are well known, even to those who have never visited the city &#8211; but this one tends to fly under the radar and, in fact, was only officially recognized as a street &#8211; New York\u2019s only fraction of a street, no less &#8211; in 2012. Running between West 57th and West 51st Streets, the space is one of the city\u2019s Privately Owned Public Spaces, for which a recent initiative is now boosting awareness. It\u2019s more a fun secret walkway than an actual attraction, but if you\u2019re in the area, it\u2019s quite cool to get a picture of yourself with the street sign, Alice in Wonderland style.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/6-%C2%BD-Avenue.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15858\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/6-%C2%BD-Avenue.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>3. Greenwood Cemetery<\/h2>\n<p>This was once one of New York\u2019s greatest tourist attractions, but modern developments and the city\u2019s iconic architecture have more or less sidelined it in the last century or so. Given the celeb-mad days we live in, however, there seems to be no better time to make Greenwood a must-visit again &#8211; names like Leonard Bernstein and Jean-Michel Basquiat have found their final resting place here, as well as around half a million other New Yorkers. If your lungs and quads are up to it, climb to the top of Battle Hill, which, as well as being one of the county\u2019s highest points, also played a major role in the Battle of Brooklyn way back in 1776.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Greenwood-Cemetery.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15862\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Greenwood-Cemetery.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>4. Vault Bank<\/h2>\n<p>A place to hide gems and a hidden gem in itself &#8211; this old bank vault was built in 1904 and is buried deep underground NYC\u2019s Financial District. Best of all, it\u2019s now a bar so you can really enjoy your visit there. While you\u2019re knocking back a bourbon, consider the fact that the vault, which was originally built for the New York Realty Bank, was so large and heavy that it had to be sailed down the Hudson River and then transported on railway tracks which had been specifically constructed for the purpose. There\u2019s an entrance at either side of the vault, each of which has a door that\u2019s 5-inch thick and weighs a massive 35 tons.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Vault-Bank-New-York-e1538576973220.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15871\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Vault-Bank-New-York-e1538576973220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"561\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>5. Morris Jumel-Mansion<\/h2>\n<p>From the outside, this mansion looks postcard-lovely, but inside, it\u2019s said to be haunted by the tortured ghost of Eliza Bowen Jumel. She married into a wealthy family in 1810, but failed to gain acceptance from society, thanks to sordid rumors about her past &#8211; and when her husband died in 1832, fingers were pointed in her direction, with tales of cruel and inhuman behavior. When her second husband suddenly died on the day they divorced, all the narrowed eyes were again on Eliza. She eventually died &#8211; old, mad and a recluse &#8211; and, although this house is open to the public for tours as it\u2019s Manhattan\u2019s oldest house and thus a place of historical interest, you may find that you get more than you bargained for on a visit!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Morris-Jumel-Mansion.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15864\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Morris-Jumel-Mansion.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>6. The Alamo<\/h2>\n<p>Most of us think of the fort where the Texans fought the Mexican Army when we think of The Alamo but this one is a giant sculpture in the shape of a cube, which was created by Tony Rosenthal and has stood in Astor Place, at Lafayette and 8th, since 1967. It\u2019s one of those sights that\u2019s come to hold a special place in the hearts of New Yorkers, who use it as an unofficial meeting place &#8211; it has even featured in music videos. Its turning mechanism is just one of the things that makes it special but be warned &#8211; you will need to have downed your spinach smoothie before you attempt to make it turn; it\u2019s heavy!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/The-Alamo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15869\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/The-Alamo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>7. Upright Citizens Brigade Theater<\/h2>\n<p>New York is well known for its theater and live performance &#8211; and sure, while you\u2019re here you should definitely catch a show on Broadway. But don\u2019t overlook some of the lesser-known joints, where you can buy tickets for a show at a fraction of the price you might pay elsewhere, and see breakout stars for whom you might pay a lot more in years to come. Stand up comedy and improv are the order of the day here and some seriously funny people take the mic, so come with your sides firmly stitched up because they are more than likely to split otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Upright-Citizens-Brigade-Theater.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15870\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Upright-Citizens-Brigade-Theater.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>8. Brooklyn Flea Market<\/h2>\n<p>A trip to New York will pretty much always include some shopping but if your style is somewhat more unique than to simply head to a department store that dispenses little brown bags, then you need to track down The Brooklyn Flea Market. Why track down? Because it changes location according to the season- indoors in winter, outdoors in summer. Come with some cash even if you are just intending to browse &#8211; with loads of stalls to explore and a huge range of goods to sift through, you\u2019re bound to find something you absolutely have to have. The street food on offer is awesome, too.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Brooklyn-Flea-Market.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15859\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Brooklyn-Flea-Market.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>9. Richmond Town<\/h2>\n<p>Leave that glittering metropolis behind you as you board the Staten Island Ferry and step back in time &#8211; all the way back to the 17th century, to be precise. Richmond Town comprises rolling working farmland and historic cottages &#8211; it\u2019s essentially an open air museum, giving visitors the opportunity to visit the United States\u2019 oldest schoolhouse and watch traditional artisans, like blacksmiths and carpenters, doing their thing. It\u2019s also possible to participate in some of the crafts yourself &#8211; and candlelight tours are available if you really want to evoke those memories of yesteryear. There are even group overnights &#8211; just don\u2019t get spooked!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Richmond-Town.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15872\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Richmond-Town.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"499\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>10. Spa Castle<\/h2>\n<p>We all know that looking good is practically a requirement of living in New York but unfortunately, that tends to also make a hefty paycheck necessary. Make your way out of Manhattan and away from its pricey treatments and head for Queens, where the Korean-owned Spa Castle has no fewer than 22 pools and combines all of the luxury of a European spa with all of the soothing know-how of an Asian one. Depending on your tastes and interests, Sunday mornings may not be the best time to visit, as the resort has a reputation for getting loads of clientele who are still on a Saturday night buzz.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Spa-Castle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15873\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Spa-Castle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"468\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>11. St Patrick\u2019s Catacombs<\/h2>\n<p>Of course you must visit the famous St Patrick\u2019s Cathedral on 5th Avenue, but did you know that there\u2019s another one downtown? Some of the most famous residents of the city have found their final resting place here for more than two centuries, including Andrew Carrigan, Dr Robert W. Hogan and Thomas O\u2019Connor, but be aware that access is only available as part of a tour, which is conducted by candlelight for maximum atmosphere &#8211; book ahead. If subterranean adventures aren\u2019t your thing, then the cemeteries are also well worth a wander.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/St-Patrick%E2%80%99s-Catacombs-e1538576990880.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15868\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/St-Patrick%E2%80%99s-Catacombs-e1538576990880.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"499\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>12. K-Town<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone knows about Chinatown and Little Italy but you need to factor a trip to K-Town into your Manhattan visit too: it\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the best Korean food this side of Seoul. Seoul food, if you will. Located in midtown Manhattan (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues) this is where to come for Korean spas and epic barbecue restaurants, some of which are open all night long &#8211; the perfect place to refuel after you\u2019ve blasted your lungs at one of the karaokes, for which the neighborhood is also known. There are billiard halls where you can shoot pool under disco lights, as well as spas where you can watch nature scenes playing out on the walls while you relax and unwind from all of that big city madness &#8211; or just from the oddness of reading street signs in Korean.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/K-Town.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15863\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/K-Town.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>13. Roosevelt Island Cable Car<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes the journey, rather than the destination, really IS the thing &#8211; and this is definitely the case with the Roosevelt Island Cable Car, which gives you amazing views of Manhattan and The East River as it soars above the Triboro Bridge towards Roosevelt Island. This, nestled between Manhattan and Queens, is tiny and primarily residential &#8211; and so doesn\u2019t have much of its own <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal beyond some pleasant walks and good views back at the city.

Plus, of course, you\u2019ll be able to eat their food, hear their stories and ask them questions.

Seaglass Carousel<\/h2>\n<p>The Battery was the home of New York City\u2019s first aquarium (it opened in 1896, eventually closing in 1941) and this transportative carousel pays a magical homage to this history. For a mere $5, you can get amongst 30 fiberglass fish and float through an aquatic world &#8211; all without any visible central pole and with the addition of LED color-changing effects to enhance the experience. And if you\u2019re thinking &#8211; \u2018yeah but I\u2019m in New York &#8211; I wanna feel like I\u2019m in New York, not in some second rate version of \u2018The Little Mermaid\u2019 &#8211; then look up from your perch on a perch &#8211; okay, not on a perch, but on a Clearfin Lionfish or Orange-Spot Wrasse &#8211; and take in the exceptional views of The Statue of Liberty. Trust us &#8211; you\u2019re in New York.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Seaglass-Carousel.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15867\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/10\/Seaglass-Carousel.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>      <!-- bottom --><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n              <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mini-avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/01\/sarah-rodrigues.jpg\" class=\"post-author-image\" alt=\"Sarah Rodrigues\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-author\">By Sarah Rodrigues<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
