What travelers are saying
- SaraRichardsLondon, UK235 contributionsIt's worth $22 for a visit, but a Free Friday ticket meant I could save my budget for the gift shop (which was astonishingly comprehensive - one of the best I've ever seen). I particularly enjoyed the James Joyce exhibit which celebrated the centenary of Ulysses, but the library and regular exhibits were also wonderfu. I hadn't expected to see any Brontë juvenalia, but there it was! Sadly, you cannot get to the library balconies, but you can admire them.Written 25 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- The Sushi Guy 🍣Long Island, NY13,267 contributionsI've been here a number of times. The grounds and facilities are well kept. Decent vendors for refreshments. Plenty of security for large events. Restrooms could have been more tidy.Written 25 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- srahnenfuhrerKenilworth, NJ6 contributionsI recently saw Judgement Day at the New York Armory. The play was a retelling of a story from the 1930s dealing with grief, sorrow, personal conscience, and group or mob mentality. The play was above average, but the real star of the show is the building itself. Beautiful, both inside and outside. Everyone should visit this building one time when in New York. Get tickets to see a show or production and be amazed at the architecture. You can even have a drink in the lounge, and transport yourself back in time one hundred and fifty years ago. A beautiful place to visit and be entertained.Written 6 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jonathan ChanLa Jolla, California, USA227 contributionsI came by here to see a special exhibit of Stephen Sondheim's letters and work - it was well worth the trek to visit!Written 8 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tina BLondon, UK93 contributionsAlways arrived at wrong time for any of the tours. However, the Library is welcoming and you can wander around quite a bit. Obviously the tour areas you cannot get access. Having seen a tour guide start her tour and still in the same place 15minutes later, put me off. One day I will get into the other areas. It is a pleasure just to walk around it. Also do admire the Lions at the entrance. The staff in the bookshop had no history about them but you can find lots of info in the small booklet 'The New York Public Library'.Written 14 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

SIs Bro Gender sibling of non conformity!
HERE IS WHERE WE GO. !!!!! Why? Because my/our human people we will feel the under the exhibitions FANTASTIC RESOURCES of Arturo. WHO WAS Arturo? A Puerto Rican Black man! He resolved to get this history so we can unite. Stop fighting between the oppressed. LEARN more. RESEARCH beneath the exhibits. Make appointments. Delight in the microfiche and all the possibilities to follow YOUR choices about Black s . I DID and feel Paul Robeson, he and other communists of color : Claudia Jones..from Trinidad that the usa exploited and Banned. WE CAN BE INSPIRED!
For my LIttle 10 year old cousin. He delights in going to the "SHOP". TOYS in blackness. Books for babies. Oh Titi look here he said we can play this.Written 29 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Liz BPeabody, MA41 contributionsWe had just left the main library building and were heading to lunch, when my sister pointed out Library Way. Even though we were walking in the opposite direction from the way the plaques in the walkway are installed, we still took time to stop and read them. Some of them are very inspiring, and the etched "stones" are amazing.Written 7 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland17,103 contributionsCity Hall park sits very obviously in front of City Hall which is downtown Manhattan. There is also a visitors centre. Recommended.Written 5 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Leo McNeillNew York City, NY52 contributionsThis is the best place to learn about the current places to visit and the history of the island. If they're not open, just ride the nearby free red bus. The locals are friendly and most will advise you on what there is to see.Written 21 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- travelingal60New York City, NY55 contributionsI love visiting the Grolier Club and always find their exhibits of interest. Their ground floor gallery is gorgeous following its renovation and the exhibits held there are always interesting, well put together and offer a wealth of information. Their second floor gallery is smaller but likewise offers a wide array of exhibits on varied topics related to books, publishing, printed matter. The Grolier Club is also always free of charge to the public.Written 4 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Bi-coasterBradenton, FL1,196 contributionsAlthough you must be a member of this library to check out books, they do host lectures and other events open to the public. It's a lovely grand building and the children's rooms are most welcoming and attractive. If I lived in New York, I'd definitely join!Written 3 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
