16. Liberty Island

This is the island where you will find the Statue of Liberty. It used to be called Bedloe’s Island but was renamed in 1956.
Most ferry tickets you buy will include a self-guided tour of the island. Most of these tours last about 40 minutes.

Access to the Crown is limited so if you plan on doing this, you must book in advance. You must also be able to walk up at least 146 steps in a confined space.
Plan to spend most of the day on the island, there are cafes, where you can get refreshments and snacks.

17. Bushwick Street Art

This neighborhood is in the northern area of NYC and is historically comprised of Germanic immigrants and families. Since the late 20th century this has branched out to include Hispanic families.
If you are interested in street art, then you should plan a visit here. Empty walls seem to cry out for paint on them, and national as well as international artists have put their marks here. Look for names such as Banksy, ROA, Shepard Fairey, and Veng, to name a few.
All the walls are painted with the consent of the owners. The project, which was started by Joe Ficalora in 2012, has grown tremendously. It is called the Bushwick Collective.
Plan to spend a day here. Try to spot as many pictures as you can, and see how many names you recognize.
