This tour will take you to NYC's modern-day jazz hangouts where you'll see the genre's best talents performing.
See the stunning architecture of the United Nations Headquarters, located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan. The complex was built in 1950 on land donated by the Rockefeller family and the famous building overlooks the East River on what is considered "international territory." The building is highly identifiable due to the fact that its perimeter fence is lined with flagpoles presenting the flags of all the UN member states and the UN flag.
Concerts, parties, live television, web broadcasts, awards shows and more all have a home at the Playstation Theater. This indoor theater in Times Square boasts an 85-foot-long LED high-definition screen, one of the largest marquees on Broadway. The entertainment venue shares this spectacular screen with MTV Studios and presents live footage from both partners. This bright screen doesn't outshine the stars that perform here though; artists like Brad Paisley, Damian Marley, Sugarland, Rob Zombie, Prince, Kanye West, Korn, Foreigner, Alicia Keys, Linkin Park and Drake are but a few of the many talented performers who have graced the stage at Playstation Theater.
For a New York City history lesson, skip the text book and head straight to the source at the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives. The archives were established in an effort to collect, preserve and make available primary information chronicling the social and political history of New York City. The archives serve researchers, journalists, students, exhibit planners and others. Some documents the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives has in its possession include papers of several mayors, the records of the New York City Council, the New York City Housing Authority, the piano maker Steinway & Sons and a Queens History Collection.
