Free City Walk in Midtown New York

I recommend a free City Walk route to friends who want to travel to New York: 1️⃣Go to Times Square in the morning to eat bagels (you still have to pay for breakfast). The two places I’ve been to before, Liberty Bagels and The Best Bagels, are both very good and very close to each other, so just choose the one with the shorter line. But only Liberty Bagels has rainbow bagels! 2️⃣After eating and drinking, you can go to Times Square. It is the "crossroads of the world" and you should take a photo. Besides, the colorful billboards in Times Square are really photogenic. 3️⃣Then walk for five or six minutes to Bryant Park. In addition to the famous Rockefeller Center, this is another outdoor ice rink in winter. During Christmas, there will be a super big Christmas tree here, and many people will come here to check in and take photos. There are also markets and charity events from time to time; 4️⃣ Right next to the park is the famous New York Public Library, the largest municipal public library in the United States. It was completed in May 1911. The overall building is in neoclassical style. It is both a library and a museum. It has a collection of tens of thousands of items and is known as the "Soul Treasure of New York." Here is the famous Fifth Avenue! 5️⃣ Turn a corner and walk for five minutes from the library, you will arrive at 42nd Street, where you will find the most famous century-old train station in the United States - Grand Central Terminal, which has appeared countless times in American TV series and movies. It is also a masterpiece of architectural art, full of historical and cultural value. The exterior is magnificent and the interior is exquisitely decorated. 6️⃣Then go back to Fifth Avenue. Along this street, you can not only shop and admire the exquisite window displays, but also visit famous buildings such as the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, etc. If you are in good enough physical condition, you can even walk all the way north to Central Park.
