Awesome spot that should not be missed. Free and maintained by NPS (National Park Service). Alexander Hamilton's home with detailed exhibitions on his life. Home is maintained beautifully and the guided tours are very helpful to understand how he used to live. Free lockers on site to store stuff while on the tour. Make sure to signup for a tour time right when you arrive or you might be passed over depending on how busy it is.
Very interesting contemporary art museum with constantly rotating exhibitions highlighting a variety of artists and perspectives. Highlights include some live events such as a live organ performance while I was there. They also have a beautiful outdoor deck on the top floor with surround views of the city.
The Fashion Institute of Technology public space is split in to 2 sections. There is a museum at the Goodman Center and across the street, there is an Art and Design Gallery at the Pomerantz Center Main Lobby.
The Art and Design Gallery features art pieces from students that are graduating or close to graduation. These show a very modern take on the world of Art and I highly recommend. It's like going in to the contemporary art museum and seeing the cutting edge of what students today are thinking. Very unique and beautiful pieces.
On the flip side the museum instead showcases the history of fashion throughout the years. This is a dimly lit space that makes picking out find colors and detail very difficult.
Both are definitely worth a visit considering they're both FREE.

While it's not a massive space, I absolutely loved the collection of Hirschfield pieces. Some truly iconic pieces of art that you won't find anywhere else. Great spot to spend an hour two strolling around along with plenty of space to take a seat and relax. Surprisingly busy. Arrived minutes after they first opened and there was already a small crowd inside.
FREE admission. FREE lockers! Clean spacious bathrooms.

Extremely narrow shared pedestrian/bike path where both directions use a very narrow sidewalk. Views off the side of the bridge are extremely hampered due to a very tight metal mesh wall restricting the beauty and visibility of the Harlem River below.
