#1 Times Square - The Center of the Musical Theater Universe! Times Square is such a magical place. Times Square is also the worst. Every tourist from every place in the world combined with every crazy person in New York City (& a few normal people) makes for a very unique experience. My advice is to only go there if you need to. It's not somewhere you want to just hang out. There are great places to eat at a variety of price points. My top pick for a reasonably priced option is Juniors (there are two locations so if the one on 45th is busy go to the other one on 49th) Sardi's is always a great choice if you have the budget for it.
(Forget regret or life is yours to miss! ) Great seats at a great price: 1. Standing Room Seats- Almost all of the major shows have standing room tickets available. (I have seen sold out Hamilton shows 3 times this way) You can get these tickets right before the show for around $40. It is a risky option because it's never guaranteed you're going to get a seat. 2. TKTS - TKTS has great discounted tickets. You can avoid the crowds if you avoid the Times Square location. 3. TDF - Check out TDF.org 4. Todaytix.com #2 Central Park - I'm not sure there is a park more beautiful than Central Park! It is amazing at all times of the year & hosts a ton of great events. Avoid the tourist traps! Don't pay $3.99 a minute to have a guy bicycle you around & I wouldn't ride in a horse drawn carriage if you paid me. The horses look so sad & I wish they could go to the countryside and relax. Explore the park by foot or rent a Citibike. #3 The Whitney Museum - The Whitney not only has great exhibits, it is also located in a spot that has amazing views from it's rooftop bar. Check it out! #4 The High line - The High Line is such a fun place to go and walk or just relax. It is a must see. #5 The MET - #6 Washington Square Park - #7 Lincoln Center - #8 New York Public Library #9 The Rubin Museum - #10 St John's the Divine -

Rodney Dangerfield (born Jacob Rodney Cohen[1] November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004) was an American stand-up comedian,[6] actor, voice artist, filmmaker, musician[7] and author known for his self-deprecating one-liners humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme.  Rodney actually smoked marijuana in the White House. He lit up a joint while he was visiting Ronald Reagan there in 1983.  She has performed in musicals, operas, and dramas such as A Moon for the Misbegotten, 110 in the Shade, Carousel, Ragtime, Master Class and Porgy and Bess.  In 2016 she was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance in Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill for HBO in which McDonald portrayed jazz legend Billie Holiday.      The Rockettes launched in 1925 as the Missouri Rockets, a Follies-style dance troupe out of St. Louis. Creator Russell Markert got the idea after he was impressed by the UK precision dance troupe in 1922’s Ziegfeld Follies. “If I ever got a chance to get a group of American girls who would be taller and have longer legs and could do really complicated tap routines and eye-high kicks,” he once said, “they’d really knock your socks off.”   Located in historic Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall is one of the largest indoor theaters in the world. Since it opened in 1932, the Music Hall has welcomed more than 300 million people to enjoy the many events and shows available – that’s more than the population of the entire country. For nearly five decades, the Music Hall entertained the public with a movie-stage format. When the movie business became unprofitable, plans were made to tear the building down. After a great public outcry and signed petitions from all around the country, the building was renovated and re-opened in 1979. Today, it houses stage shows, concerts from top performers, special television events, etc.
It gained mainstream exposure when it was featured in Madonna's song and video "Vogue" (1990), and when showcased in the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning (which went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival). In its modern form, this dance has become a global phenomenon that continues to evolve both stylistically and demographically.
 In the Ancient Near East, clay tablets (Akkadian ṭuppu(m) 𒁾)[1] were used as a writing medium, especially for writing in cuneiform, throughout the Bronze Age and well into the Iron Age.       At one time or another, the library held about half a million scrolls, estimated to have been between 30 percent and 708 percent of all books in existence back then.

 The Five Families are the five major New York City organized crime families of the Italian American Mafia. The term was first used in 1931, when Salvatore Maranzano formally organized the previously warring gangs into what are now known as the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese crime families, each with demarcated territory, organizationally structured in a now-familiar hierarchy, and having them reporting up to the same overarching governing entity. Initially Maranzano intended each family's boss to report to him as the capo di tutti capi (boss of all bosses), but this led to his assassination and by September the role was replaced by The Commission, which continues to govern American Mafia activities 
   Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel (February 28, 1906[1] – June 20, 1947) was a Jewish American mobster. Siegel was known as one of the most "infamous and feared gangsters of his day".[3] Described as handsome and charismatic, he became one of the first front-page celebrity gangsters.[4] He was also a driving force behind the development of the Las Vegas Strip.[5] Siegel was not only influential within the Jewish mob but, like his friend and fellow gangster Meyer Lansky, he also held significant influence within the American Mafia and the largely Italian-Jewish National Crime Syndicate.
