The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of the Freedom arrived at
 America in 1886, preceding a great wave
 of immigration of the center and the south
 of Europe. for the centenary in 1986, the

Empire State Building

 One of the world's most famous landmarks, it measures more than
  1,450 feet tall, with 102 floors. What's more, it was
  built ahead of schedule, in one year and 45 days
  including holidays -- during the Great Depression
. Having taken the impact of a B-25 bomber crashing
  into its side in 1945, and giving only 1.48 inches to
  either side in 110-mile-per- hour winds, it sure is sturdy.
  The only thing the developers failed to do was turn it into
  a viable site for mooring dirigibles.

The Empire State Building has been featured in too many movies to mention, but one standout is Sleepless in Seattle. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan finally rendezvous here on Valentine's Day.

Broadway and the Theatre District

 Probably no other street on earth has had more impact on the
 performing arts than Broadway in New York City.
 When any stage actor or playwright, singer or
 composer thinks of hitting the big time, they imagine
 their big Broadway premier. Originally, most of the
 theaters in this area were actually located on
 Broadway itself. The Theater District today, however,
 includes the area between Broadway and Eighth
 Avenue from 42nd to 50th Street. Broadway is more
 than just an address, though. It's a state of mind that for decades has represented the highest achievement in American theatre. Both the area and the industry are enjoying an explosion right now that has left producers scrambling for empty theatres and patrons packing the sidewalks and local restaurants. Broadway is located in the heart of Manhattan, providing the city with one of its most important districts.

Between 42nd and 53rd Streets and 6th and 10th Aves.
