Governor's Island is good value as the ferry and almost everything

have to pay for those.

Clearly an important part of American history. If you want to
get past the Cowboys and Indians this is a very good place to start.
66 (105) Flushing Meadow / Corona Park
Many years ago Corona Park used to be rubbish tip that glowed red
at night. Please dispose of your refuge thoughtfully, New Yorkers
are quite happy with Corona's new status.
67 Rockefeller Center
What to do at the Rockefeller? You could go on a Radio City Tour
or an NBC Studio Tour. You could get your skates on at Rink at the
Rockefeller and climb to the Top of The Rockefeller (minus the skates)
and see what you can see.
68 Paramount Building
Admire the stubby obelisks atop each of the eight levels or ‘steps’
of the Paramount Building. Look up at the glass sphere at the top
of the building and take your time over the huge clock.
69 Museum of Television and Radio (Paley Center)
The Paley Center consists of screening rooms, two full-sized theaters
and over 120,000 bits of television and radio to watch and listen
to. You only get an hour so you may need to come back. The TV goes
back to the black and white days and the radio dates back even further
when it was just black :-)
You can not buy, beg or borrow but you might be able to view the
future programs of tomorrow as the center does sponsor pilot shows.
70 Friday Night Blues
The two-tiered, horseshoe-shaped Show Room has a fabulous 30-foot
stage creating the right environment to enjoy some great music.
B.B King Blues Club & Grill also has two 8-foot big video screens
on either side of the stage so you can pretend to be at the movies
if you don’t like live music :-)
You will find B.B King Blues Club & Grill is in Times Square
near Penn Station and Port Authority.
