51 (62) St Bartholomew's Church (St Bart's)
With it pink tinged brick, gold domed and romanesque terraced entrance
St Bart's' is much loved by the locals and not only for its popular
concerts. St Bart's brings a touch of color to Park Avenue and brightens

St. Bartholomew’s after the 11a.m. service every Sunday at
around 12:15 p.m.
52 (63) General Electric Building
General Electric Building is a delight to behold with its chrome
and marble lobby and a sparky radio waves top. The lighten bolt
radio wave crown is light up at night like a giant torch. The glazed
tan brick General Electric Building has rose-colored granite on
its base if you manage to take your eyes off of the roof.
Built close to St Bart's the General Electric Building was designed
to both blend and contrast with the Church. You can get a view of
both impressive buildings from corner of Park and 50th.
53 (20) Museum of Sex
An age old question - do you think it's sexy?
54 (24) Brooklyn Botanic Garden and The Brooklyn Museum of Art

gardens types, three ‘climate-themed plant pavilions’,
an aquatic house and even an art gallery.
Enjoying the patronage of 100’s of thousands of visitors
each year the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) still provides relaxing
break. You should find that the greenhouse is free on Tuesdays and
even for a couple of hours on Saturday mornings.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is "Where plants come to life"
so don't go alone :)

As well as a chance to observe the nature of the Henry Luce Nature
Observatory at Belevedere Castle there is also a chance you might
observe a hawk, kestrel and/or an osprey and few bird watchers.
56 (46) - 5th Avenue
If you are not that keen on shopping – HELLO? The architecture
is worth a peek at Upper 5th Avenue. So if it is just the two of
you perhaps start at opposite ends and meet some where close to
where you started from.
57 Staten Island Botanical Garden
The 53 acre Staten Island Botanical Garden is a natural woodland
with over 20 specimen gardens including the Secret Garden containing
a child-sized castle and a maze.
58 (118) Flatiron Building
The shape of the Flatiron Building makes a favorite of New Yorkers
and lovers of interesting buildings across the globe. But there
is more to the Flatiron than its shape. This story has legs. The
apex of the building is just six feet wide and said to create an
unusual wind gusts. The effect was rumored to be quite uplifting
down 23rd street. Lovers of Legs gathered to view the effect. Police
would call out to them "23 Skidoo" to move them along.
Whilst the phrase is no longer in use we all know its cousin - "scram".
59 Chelsea Piers
The Chelsea Piers has a health club, a day spa, a large gymnastics
training center, basketball courts, indoor lacrosse and soccer,
batting cages, a rock climbing wall, bowling center, golf club ice
rinks, dance studios and a marina. If you fell a little exhausted
after reading all that no fear – you can just take quite stroll
by the water.
60 (112) Morgan Library and Museum
At The Morgan the world's greatest and most creative are gathered
for your inspection. Rembrandt, Picasso, Mozart, Bob Dylan, Dickens
and Hemingway, Gutenberg Bibles, and Babar the elephant. A visit
to Madison Avenue and 36th Street will take you on a journey through
the ages to the medieval and Renaissance periods and on to the present
day. "extra special, in a class of its own." re New York
