I suggest walking down Broadway from Central Park South (59th St) to Battery Park - that's probably 6 miles - that'll take you to most of the landmarks in the city but not the museums (except MOMA) because they are located north of 59th St. You'll be walking North-South, so east means turn left, and west means turn right. 1) 59th St - Time Warner Building & Trump International Hotel & Tower 2) 54th & 3 blocks east - Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) 3) 49th St, 2 blocks east - Rockefeller Center & Radio City Music Hall 4) 42nd to 47th St - Time Square 5) 4nd & 4 blocks east - Grand Central Terminal 6) 34th St - Macy's flagship store 7) 33rd St & 1 block east - Empire State building 8) 32nd St & 2 blocks west - Madison Square Garden 9) 23rd St - Flat Iron building 10) 14th St - Union Square 11) 8th St & 4 blocks west - NYU area & Washington Square Park 12) Bleecker St & 3 blocks west - the Village 13) Houston to Grand St - SoHo 14) Canal St - Chinatown 15) Park Pl - City Hall 16) Liberty St & 1 block west - World Trade Center site 17) Wall St & 1 block east - New York Stock Exchange 18) Intersection of Broadway & Whitehall - the famous Bull statue 19) Ends at Battery Park - you can take a ferry to Statue of Liberty
