It doesn't get more iconic than the sight of the Statue of Liberty. I took this photo from the boat trip out to Liberty Island.
If you go up to the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you get a wonderful view over Central Park toward the tall Manhattan buildings.
The Atlas statue at Rockefeller Center has been there since 1937. It was created by Lee Lawrie with the help of Rene Paul Chambellan.
St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church is a Byzantine Revival building located in a very prominent location on Park Avenue. I love the look of this building.
I stopped on a raised walkway to snap a quick shot down a street toward the Chrysler Building.
Located very close to the World Trade Center is a historic cemetery called the Trinity Church Cemetery. This is a beautifully peaceful spot in center of a very busy city. It's on the National Register of Historic Places.
Not far from the cemetery is that famous Wall Street Bull. This sculpture was originally displayed as "guerrilla art" which means it was displayed "unofficially". It became so popular that it was given a temporary permit and it's been here ever since. Not so temporary after all.
New York....what a great place to visit!

Wunderschöne Bilder aus new York. Ich war noch nie dort
I remember a lot of those spots. I don't think we went to the cemetery when we were there together in the fall though. That looks like a spring shot.
A wonderful selection of photos. We were there in 2003 when Lois Anne ran in the New York Marathon and we visited many of the place you've shown in this post. Thank you for bringing back some very good memories!
St. Bartholomew's is my favourite.
Iconic pictures. I would love to go back to N.Y. City.
