Description

One of the world's largest libraries (both physically and in number of books), but the vast majority of the books are kept under Bryant Park. What's left is a gorgeous building with perfectly-sized reading rooms. There are also two exhibition halls with free, book-centric exhibits.

Tips

  • If you like books, go to the reading rooms, pull reference books of the shelf, and flip to a random page.
  • Don't miss the Judaica section on the first floor, the Rose Room (with its Gutenberg Bible) on the top floor, and the original Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed animals on the basement floor.
