Morningside Park (Visit this link)

A 30-acre park on Manhattan's West Side between 110th and 123rd Streets, the park was constructed over 24 years, from 1871 to 1895, by a board that continually fired and rehired Vaux and Olmstead. This is not a safe place for roaming at night. One might enjoy the park during daylight hours, thanks to the growing community around Barnard and Columbia Colleges.

Little Italy

Little Italy really is little. The area is a string of Italian groceries, restaurants, and cafes that run the five blocks between Canal and Spring Streets on Mulberry and Mott Streets. Her sidewalks are packed with happily gesticulating and laughing people. Cross the street heading south and hello Chinatown; step west and you are in Soho. Visit Little Italy to eat. Visit DiPalo’s at Mott and Grand to take a little Italian fare home with you. The Festival of San Gennaro is held in Little Italy at the end of September. If you’re in town, visit then.
