2 Best Sights in New York City, New York

Most Precious Blood Church

Little Italy

The National Shrine of San Gennaro, a replica of the grotto at Lourdes, is the high point of Most Precious Blood Church's richly painted interior. The church becomes a focal point during the annual Feast of San Gennaro. Tours of the church and St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral can be booked through www.tommysnewyork.com (daily at 11, 1, and 3; fee).

Rockaway Brewing Company

Long Island City
At the epicenter of the Queens microbrew boom, this laid-back brewery offers a taproom serving up tasty handcrafted brews (take-home growlers and cans are available), as well as free brewery tours on weekends. Evenings—though it closes at 9 or 10—and weekends are the best times to visit.
