Quiet little park along the Hudson River with plenty of benches and very nice views. Great spot to feel like you're away from the city for a while. You can head south to battery Park or walk a long ways north up the river. Check out the stairs with a bench on top for the best views.

A small park with nice views and some benches. There is an old tram you can take a look at as well. A nice addition to this fun area.

A private park with public access, it's well maintained and has plenty of benches in a pretty small area. There is museum out on the pier and some nice views as well.

It's a super tiny store more than a museum, but every Christmas they have a great model of NYC with some old Lionel train models on quite a few different tracks. They span quite a few years of service and are pretty detailed, great for both kids and adults interested in trains. They sometimes have extra model trains in display cases around the diorama based on old long haul train lines. Not sure I'd suggest coming here other than to see the models in December though, it's a small store with overpriced souvenirs.

The clock isn't much but the statues around it move with some music on the hour and half hour. It's worth taking a look if you happen to be nearby at the right time.
