Grand Central Terminal (Visit this link)

This hub that so many use to enter the city (by way of Long Island Rail and Metro North, serving Long Island and the Hudson River Valley respectively) is in fact a destination in itself.

Here's a little guide to orient you if you find yourself in Manhattan without a map.

If you're lost in Central Park: Follow a path. Almost all the paths will lead to the Loop, a 6-mile drive that has foot, bike, skating, and sometimes car traffic on it. It traces an imperfect oval inside the park boundaries: from nearly any point, you're only a short ways from the outside of the park. The lampposts, if you look closely, have small metal signs on them which tell you the cross street at your latitude: "100-2" is the 2nd lamp on the Loop above 100th Street; "67-4" is the 4th lamp above 67th.
