Empire State Building (pictured): Built during the American Great Depression in 1930, it has 103 floors and 6500 windows.
Statue of Liberty: A gift from France (what, no white flag?) that arrived in New York Harbor in June of 1885.
Ellis Island: From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through this portal.
Governors Island: A 172-acre island in Upper New York Bay, about one-half mile from the southern tip of Manhattan Island. The Smothers Brothers (Tom and Dick) were both born on Governors Island.
Brooklyn Bridge: Completed in 1883, this is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States.
References to "selling the Brooklyn Bridge" abound in American culture, sometimes as examples of rural gullibility but more often in connection with an idea that strains credulity.
Manhattan Bridge: Completed in 1909, this bridge is 6,855ft long connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Brooklyn at Flatbush Avenue.
Williamsburg Bridge: Completed in 1903, this bridge is 7,308ft long connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.
United Nations (pictured): Although the UN is located on 18 acres of land in NYC, the land and building are not part of the US. They are officially international territory and belong to the UN member nations. The UN has its own fire dept, security force, and postal service.
Ground Zero (World Trade Center): The completed 9/11 Memorial is slated to open September 11, 2011 on the 10-year anniversary of the second World Trade Center attack.
Hoboken Pier: In 1905 a fire burned this old wooden ferry and railroad station in a matter of hours. Re-opened in 1907 as the new Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Train and Ferry Depot.
Greenwich Village: Known in the late 19th to mid 20th centuries as the bohemian capital and the East Coast birthplace of the Beat movement
Jacob K. Javis Convention Center: This revolutionary space frame structure was build in 1986 and named for NY Senator Jacob K. Javits. The exhibit space has over 675,000 square feet.
Battery Park (pictured): Referred to as the "Emerald Doorstep to the Metropolis"
This 23 acre is the largest public open space in the Downtown section of Manhattan. The park is located at the tip of Manhattan, causing many to refer to it as the city's front lawn.
The Museum Of Jewish Heritage: Created as a living memorial to the Holocaust. The hexagonal shape & tiered roof of the building are symbolic of the six points of the Star of David and the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Opened in Sept 15, 1997.
Wall Street: Home to the New York Stock Exchange and the NY financial community. From 1653 to 1699 a wooden wall stood on what is now Wall Street. The wall was build by Dutch settlers to protect themselves from attacks by American Indians, the British, and New Englanders.
Chrysler Building (pictured): Build between 1928 to 1930 this magnificent structure is 1046 ft tall and has 77 floors. The Chrysler building is one of the last skyscrapers in the Art Deco style. The gargoyles depict Chrysler car ornaments and the spire is modeled after a radiator grill.
