The New York City Police Museum

If you're a tourist heading to downtown Manhattan, save yourself some time and just skip the South Street Seaport. Heck, now that the actual fishmarket is long gone, it's nothing more than a lousy shopping mall.

Instead, walk a few blocks south to 100 Old Slip and The New York City Police Museum and see a real piece of New York history. Admission is only $5!
