Whether touring an open house or seeing a friend, the first thing visitors to New York apartments do is check out the views. In the case of these listings, though, it may be impossible to tear them away from the windows looking out on sweeping vistas of the iconic skyline, historic architecture, Central Park, the East River, the Hudson River, classic bridges, and all of the above in certain high-floor units. More than 500 new listings came on the market in the past week, and we've chosen the ones with the best views in all boroughs and neighborhoods.
