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.
