Among these are the Chrysler Building, once the worlds tallest skyscraper before being surpassed by the Empire State Building; Citicorp Center with its dramatic wedge-shaped headquarters, Grand Central Station, the General Electric Building with its distinctive crown, the United Nations headquarters, New Yorks Public Library, and Murray Hill, one of New Yorks most prized residential areas. Nearby is Kips Bay, where the British landed to battle George Washingtons troops during the Revolutionary War, and Beekman Place, an exclusive residence for the rich and famous. Be sure to visit the Intrepid, a floating World War II carrier converted into a Sea-Air-Space Museum, located at Pier 86. Dont miss the All Access Tour at the worlds most famous arena Madison Square Garden.

NewQueens York
A visit to Queens is like a world tour. Queens, originally a handful of towns, has evolved as a patchwork of foreign cities. It is todays destination for the thousands of immigrants that still come here. Queens County was named after Queen Catherine, Charles IIs wife. It joined New york as a borough in 1898. The Queensboro Bridge was built in 1909 and Queens became a residential satellite of Manhattan.

Wall Street
The hub of the financial world, Wall Street and its frenzied trading floors rule the economic fortunes of multitudes with nervously watched transactions of the New York Stock Exchange (between New and Broad streets), where frantic brokers wheel and deal. It all began with the Buttonwood Agreement signed in 1792 by a group of stock dealers conducting business beneath the trees.
Times Square
Times Square has long been regarded as the hub of Manhattan nightlife, especially on New Years Eve when thousands gather to celebrate. The heart of the theatre district, with its famous neon signs, features such landmarks as the Booth and Shubert Theatres, the Lyceum, and Sardis restaurant. The New York Times was formerly located here...hence the name.
Brooklyn Bridge
The famous bridge linking Manhattan with Brooklyn was designed by German-born John A. Roebling, whose trip on an ice-bound ferry inspired the idea. Construction began in 1869 and was carried out by Roeblings son and daughter-in-law, taking sixteen years to complete. The master mechanic was the first person to cross the river, on a steam-driven traveler rope.
Museums
New Yorks museums hold many of the worlds treasures. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has some of the most famous impressionist and modern paintings. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim, the Museum of American Folk Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art and many others contribute to the cultural life of New York and the enrichment of visitors.
Lincoln Center
The centerpiece of Manhattans cultural life, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is home to the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, and the New York City Ballet, founded by George Balanchine in 1948. One of the biggest concert and performance venues in the world, Lincoln Center hosts more than five million people attending three thousand events each year.
Statue of Liberty
A universal symbol of freedom, the 152-foot cast iron statue is a gift of the French people to America, commemorating the 1778 alliance between France and the United States. The national monument is reachable by ferry, and visitors can take an elevator to the observation deck at the top of the pedestal. The crown is reachable by walking up 168 steps.
United Nations
The United Nations, on the bank of the East River between 42nd and 48th streets, covers more than fifteen acres and houses an international parliament with delegates from around the world. Guided tours include the Secretariat Building, the domed General Assembly Hall, and the Conference Wing. The United Nations, with its peacekeeping mission, was created in London following World War II.
Rockefeller Center
A complex of nineteen buildings, Rockefeller Center houses Radio City Music Hall, NBC, General Electric, (the former RCA building) and a multiplicity of businesses, with shops, fountains, cafes, and statues notably the trademark golden Prometheus overlooking a terrace and outdoor skating rink. The brainchild of John D. Rockefeller Jr., Rockefeller Center is a city within a city.
International Style
Architect Philip Johnson and art historian Henry-Russel Hitchcock described the exhibition of modern European architecture held at MoMA in 1932 as international style. But European modernism was not fully accepted by New York architects until 1950. Citicorp Center at Lexington Avenue, between 53rd and 54th streets, with its 46 aluminum paneled stories, is a dramatic contemporary example.
