Going to New York? 6 Places to See Beyond Times Square

New York is a collection of neighbourhoods, historic landmarks, parks, museums and waterfront spaces, each with its own personality. If you have already photographed the billboards, these six places offer a chance to see a quieter, older and sometimes more surprising side of the city.
