34 Cool New Yorkers On The Touristy Things Actually Worth Doing

Growing up on the Upper West Side, there was always a certain magic and wonder surrounding Strawberry Fields. We lived one block away from the memorial, and to this day, I still go out of my way to walk past the mosaic design, which spells out the word "Imagine." While it's a magnet for tourists from all over the world, there's still a certain calmness and serenity that washes over me each time I visit. Lennon's message of hope and peace is more relevant now than ever.
