5th avenue and midtown is a place you surely want to put on list of sightseeing. St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park and Times Square are all in walking distance. Stroll downtown towards 34st and get a close up look of the Empire State Building and of course for the shopper, stop in at the famous Macy's department store on 34th St.
St. Pat's is just a wonder to see and photographs are allowed so long as flash is at a minimum. Over at Bryant Park if you happen to visit in the summer month's you can catch some great entertainment from the park during the daytime and watch some chess players show off their knowledge of the game.
Of course, Rockefeller Center, known for its Christmas tree and ice rink, is a must visit at any time of the year but especially during the winter months.
