New York

New York is a state in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. New York is the 27th-most extensive, the third-most populous, and the seventh-most densely populated of the 50 United States. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and by ConnecticutMassachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border with Rhode Island east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Ontario to the west and north, and Quebec to the north. The state of New York is often referred to as New York State, so as to distinguish it from New York City




New York City's five boroughs are home to some of the world's most recognizable, cherished landmarks and attractions. From Times Squareand Central Park to the Empire State Building and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the island of Manhattan packs more famous icons into one compact area than any other place on earth; and that's to say nothing of the City's four other boroughs—The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island—each of which contains its own roster of must-see destinations. With so much to see and do, a trip to NYC may seem a little overwhelming.



Here are list down must-see in New York:


1) New York City: Frick Collection



Visiting Mr. Frick's home is a unique opportunity to experience in some vein where and how an American multimillionaire of the industrial age lived. It is a most architecturally exciting home designed by Carrère and Hastings, completed in 1914, and later twice expanded to better accommodate the public.  While Mr. Frick was able to enjoy his own masterpiece for only five short years, he generously left it to the public to enjoy through the ages.  The fountain in the middle of the house adds to the cool, calm atmosphere.  $10.00 admission for students makes it a must stop.  On Sunday mornings, the policy of "Pay What You Wish" takes place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.  No pictures please.


2) Escape the Room NYC

Escape the Room is a fun, real life game taking place in an office in Midtown, New York City. While it looks like any other ordinary room, it's actually a mystery puzzle. Find the clues and solve the puzzles to earn your freedom and "Escape the Room." You have 60 minutes, so be quick! Come with your friends, family and coworkers and have a great time



                       


3) Broadway





Broadway is famous as the pinnacle of the American theatre industry. This district is known for its abundance of theatres. Many of theatres have been in use for over 50 years! The Majestic Theatre is one of the largest Broadway theatres in New York City, with 1607 seats at its 245 West 44th Street location. Herbert J. Krapp designed the theatre in 1927 for Irwin Chanin, but was soon taken over by the present owners, the Shuberts, during the Great Depression. The interior of the theatre is a beautiful neo-classical design and has remained one of Broadway's premier musical houses. It currently hosts the longest running show on Broadway, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.
