Although there are several museums in NYC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art stands out from the rest. It's not just the gorgeous architecture that's impressive; this place is one of the most valued cultural hot-spots in the world. Containing over two million pieces that span centuries and miles... well, if that doesn't interest you, there's a neat gift shop.

A definitely notable location in the city. Famous crooners compare their love's radiance to this beautiful spot. You can look around at the gorgeous lights at night, walk around, or shop. The site of the most famous New Year's Eve countdown on Earth--the traditional ball-drop.

Two places known for the cultural reciprocation of Italy and China... and cool souvenirs.

Come to watch movies, mooch popcorn, and meet people.

If you're a gamer, this place is a can't-miss. Including all the latest consoles and the good old classics, some could spend hours just playing.

A pretty low-key venue, but a lot of the acts that play here are pure gold. If you're a musician, hey--maybe you could sign up to play a set or two at an upcoming show. If you are and you're a little hesitant, come to chill and listen to some good music.
