Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
Part of the Smithsonian Institution, the Cooper-Hewitt is housed in the Carnegie Mansion, built by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie in 1901 and renovated to the tune of $20 million in 1996. Some 11,000 square feet of gallery space is devoted to changing exhibits that are invariably well conceived, engaging, and educational. Shows are both historic and contemporary in nature, and topics range from The Work of Charles and Ray Eames: A Legacy of Invention to Russell Wright: Creating American Lifestyle to The Architecture of Reassurance: Designing the Disney Theme Parks. Many installations are drawn from the museum's own vast collection of industrial design, drawings, textiles, wall coverings, books, and prints.On your way in, note the fabulous Art Nouveau-style copper-and-glass canopy above the entrance. And be sure to visit the garden, ringed with Central Park benches from various eras.
Center for Jewish History
This 125,000-square-foot complex is the largest repository of Jewish history, art, and literature in the Diaspora. It unites five of America's leading institutions of Jewish scholarship: the American Jewish Historical Society (www.ajhs.org), the national archives of the Jewish people in the Americas; the Leo Baeck Institute (www.lbi.org), documenting the robust history of German-speaking Jewry from the 17th century until annihilation under the Nazis; the Yeshiva University Museum (www.yumuseum.org), general-interest exhibits, plus a renowned collection of Judaica objects confiscated by the Nazis; the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (www.yivoinstitute.org), focusing on exhibits exploring the diversity of the Jewish experience; and the American Sephardi Federation (www.asfonline.org), representing the spiritual, cultural, and social traditions of the American Sephardic communities (Jews from Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East). Together, this union represents about 100 million archival documents, 500,000 books, and tens of thousands of objects of art and ephemera, ranging from Thomas Jefferson's letter denouncing anti-Semitism to memorabilia of famous Jewish athletes.The main gallery space is the Yeshiva Museum, which comprises four galleries, an outdoor sculpture garden, and a children's workshop; a range of exhibits also showcase various holdings belonging to the other institutions as well. A central feature is the Reading Room, home to open stacks accessible by serious researchers and lay historians like, as well as the Center Genealogy Institute, which offers assistance in family history research. Another huge component of the Center is its 250-seat state-of-the-art auditorium, home to a packed schedule of lectures, music, and film presentations. If you get hungry, a kosher cafe is on site.
Wall Street & the New York Stock Exchange
Wall Street - it's an iconic name, and the world's prime hub for bulls and bears everywhere. This narrow 18th-century lane (you'll be surprised at how little it is) is appropriately monumental, lined with neoclassical towers that reach as far skyward as the dreams and greed of investors who built it into the world's most famous financial market.At the heart of the action is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the world's largest securities trader, where billions change hands. The NYSE came into being in 1792, when merchants met daily under a nearby buttonwood tree to try and pass off to each other the U.S. bonds that had been sold to fund the Revolutionary War. By 1903, they were trading stocks of publicly held companies in this Corinthian-columned beaux arts "temple" designed by George Post. About 3,000 companies are now listed on the exchange, trading nearly 314 billion shares valued at about $16 trillion. Unfortunately, the NYSE is no longer open to the public for tours.

Four Seasons Hotel New York
Designed by überarchitect I. M. Pei in 1993, this modernist tower of honey-hued limestone rises 52 stories, making it the city's tallest hotel and providing hundreds of rooms with a view. As soon as you enter the soaring lobby, with its marble floors and backlit onyx ceiling, you'll immediately know this place is special. From the stellar service, only surpassed by the Ritz-Carlton hotels and Trump International, to the fantastic facilities, including a new, luxurious spa, this hotel is a stunner.The completely soundproofed guest rooms are among the city's largest, averaging 600 square feet. Each is beautifully furnished in an understated but plush contemporary style and has an entrance foyer, a sitting area, an oversize oval desk with two leather chairs, custom built-ins, coffered ceilings, and massive windows (50% of which boast Central Park views). About two dozen of the priciest rooms also have terraces. The mammoth Florentine marble bathrooms have soaking tubs that fill in 60 seconds, and separate showers with pressure controls. Other special touches include goose-down pillows, Frette-made beds, oversize bath towels, and cushy robes, plus multidisk CD players in suites. But at these prices, why charge extra for Internet access?Facilities: Restaurant; bar with evening entertainment; lobby lounge for afternoon tea and light fare; 5,000-sq.-ft. spa and fitness center with whirlpool, steam, and sauna; children's program; concierge; courtesy limo; business center with secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; dry cleaning/laundry service with 1-hr. pressing.
Red Roof Inn
Manhattan's first, and only, Red Roof Inn offers welcome relief from Midtown's high-priced hotel scene. The hotel occupies a former office building that was gutted and laid out fresh, allowing for more spacious rooms and bathrooms than you'll usually find in this price category. The high-ceilinged lobby feels smarter than most in this price range, and elevators are quiet and efficient. What's more, in-room amenities are better than most competitors,' and furnishings are fresh, brand-new, and comfortable. The location -- on a bright, bustling block lined with nice hotels and affordable Korean restaurants, just a stone's throw from the Empire State Building and Herald Square -- is excellent. It's usually easy to snag a room for less than $150 if you book well in advance; be sure to compare the rates offered by Apple Core Hotel's reservation line (the management company) and those quoted on Red Roof's national reservation line and website, as they can vary significantly. A complimentary continental breakfast adds to the good value.
