The Woolworth Building, Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building are just a few of the skyscrapers that make New York City's architecture unique.

Broadway is a must when visiting the Big Apple, so be sure to catch a musical or play there. Whether it is Hairspray, Rent, Chicago, Jersey Boys or The 39 Steps, it's all on Broadway at any given time. For music-lovers, there are always concerts to enjoy at Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall or the Lincoln Center.

When you are done and need something to munch on, you can always find a bagel, hot dog or an Italian sausage from one of 4000 vendors. If you want to enjoy of piece of Big Apple-style cuisine, grab a piece of New York cheesecake or a hand-tossed slice of New York pizza.
