Is there a quick and easy way to add an XY coordinate in ArcGIS outside of creating a table?

A coworker just wants to see what that point is on a topo background.

I just want to see where a particular point is located without creating any data for it i.e. Just stored in a map document.

    What is the point being added to? Is supposed to be part of a point feature class in the end? Or is it just a graphic point that is only stored in a map document?

    On the Tools toolbar there's a button "Go To XY" (looks like a point with XY written underneath it, in the same section as the search binocular button)

There is a Go To XY tool on the Tools toolbar that lets you enter an XY coordinate and see it as a graphic on the map. The point can be shown by several different graphics (flash, point, labeled point, callout).
