Watch the world pass you by from Lafayette Square. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic square would have plenty of stories to tell.

Lafayette Square is an interesting place to begin your discovery of Manhattan. This public square comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Times Square, Broadway, and Grand Central Terminal to fully appreciate what's on offer in the area.
