Take in a Broadway Show, which is definitely something you should experience with visiting NYC. Get a healthy dose of history by visiting the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island, or if geological history is more your speed, visit the American Museum of Natural History.

No matter which of these places are on your agenda, upgrade your trip and stay in one of these luxury rentals in Upper East Side of NYC for the best trip possible!
