Things to do in Midtown Manhattan

Do you plan on staying in Midtown Manhattan soon? Midtown Manhattan is home to the Rockefeller Center, Madison Square Garden, Times Square and the Empire State Building. As New York’s largest central business district, Midtown Manhattan offers many places to visit and explore. To help plan your trip to Manhattan, consider checking out the following sites.

Empire State Building:
– The Empire State Building is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, standing 1,454 feet tall. Take a trip up to the 86th Floor Observatory at 1,050 feet or the 102nd Floor Tower at 1,224 feet.

Rockefeller Center:
– The Rockefeller Center is a complex of 18 commercial buildings between 48th and 51st street in New York City. Prominent statues and sites to see include the GE Building, which is the headquarters of NBC and the home of Saturday night live, the Statue of Atlas and the Christmas tree in the winter time.

Broadway:
– A trip to New York City is incomplete without seeing a Broadway show in the most famous theater district in the world. Consider seeing “Wicked” or “The Lion King,” which are two of the top selling Broadway shows.

Times Square:
– Located at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, Times Square is a world landmark and a symbol for New York City. Defined by its digital advertisements and spectaculars (neon and LED signs), Times Square is quite a site and a must-see.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral:
– St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the largest decorated gothic-style Catholic Cathedral in the United States. It was built in 1858 and is located on Fifth Avenue between 50 and 51st Street. Its architecture is stunning and features white or tan marble, spires that rise 330 feet (100 meters) from street level and Charles Connick’s rose window.

Chinatown:
– New York City’s Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the United States and offers hundreds of restaurants, fruit and fish markets and shops. Visit Chinatown to grab an inexpensive lunch and try Cantonese, Szechuan, Shanghai, Suzhou or Vietnamese cooking or to go bargain shopping in search of clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, handbags or watches.

Museum of Modern Art:
– The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is located on 53rd street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The MoMA has been identified as the most influential museum of modern art. Select collections in the museum include architecture and design, media and performance art, prints and illustrated books, photography and painting and sculpture.

Carnegie Hall:
– Carnegie Hall is a concert venue located on Seventh Avenue two blocks south of Central Park. It is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction in 1891. Carnegie Hall is one of the most famous venues in the United States for classical music and many of the greatest performers of classical music have performed at Carnegie Hall, including Benny Goodman, Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Carnegie Hall presents 250 performances each season as well as films, lectures, readings and museum exhibits at its festivals.

Midtown Manhattan has many neighborhoods with both historic sites and modern business centers.

Chicago at Carnegie Hall by Benoit, Kn Tr [Paperback] $109.93 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Chicago at Carnegie Hall is the first live album by American band Chicago and was initially released in 1971 as a four LP vinyl box set on Columbia Records. It was also available for a time as two separate 2record sets. While touring in support of Chicago III, Chicago booked themselves into the Carnegie Hall for a week in April 1971 and recorded all of their shows. Deciding that most of the songs performed there (virtually, the first three double albums, together with the new A Song For Richard And His Friends ) were worthy of release, producer James William Guercio compiled a mammoth fourLP box set collection for release as Chicagos fourth album (that distinction being responsible for the albums nickname of Chicago IV).
