New York City is one of the most famous cities in the world. As such, it should be seen over the course of days. If you just have a long layover there like me, you do what you can to see the sights. This is a guide to what to see in NYC including the Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero, Freedom Tower, Times Square, Central Park, Katz Delicatessen, and the viewpoint at SUMMITOne Vanderbilt Tower.

Let me take you on a tour of the American capital (and my hometown) with stops in some neighborhoods like Dupont Circle, Georgetown, H street, Noma, and Chinatown. Visits to the White House, US Capitol, select museums (Natural history, Air and Space, Smithsonian) and monuments (Washington) and memorials (Lincoln, Jefferson), Rock Creek Park, and Gravely Point are also highly recommended!
