Dedicated on September 29, 1927, the monument's location was chosen because of its proximity to the Regiment's Armory just to the east on Park Avenue. The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment's 107th Infantry helped to break Germany's Hindenburg Line of defense at the conclusion of World War I.
The most famous street and the main artery of New York is Fifth Avenue. It connects the north and south of Manhattan.
African Burial Ground National Monument is a monument at Duane Street and African Burial Ground Way in the Civic Center section of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Its main building is the Ted Weiss Federal Building at 290 Broadway.
This larger-than-life-size statue depicts Alexander Hamilton (1757–1804), the eminent statesmen of a fledgling United States. Hamilton’s son John C. Hamilton donated the piece to the City in 1880. The monument is unusual in that it is carved entirely of granite.
In 1924, when theater impresario Martin Beck was forced out of management of the Orpheum Theatre circuit, he built the Martin Beck, now the Al Hirschfeld. He hired architect G. Albert Lansburgh, a native San Franciscan known for his elaborate West Coast movie palaces, to design the theater.
One of the most popular artworks in Central Park is Alice in Wonderland. The large bronze sculpture is located in a terrace at the northern end of Conservatory Water. The figure of Alice and her kitten, Dinah, sit atop a giant mushroom, surrounded by her Wonderland friends: the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Dormouse, and the White Rabbit.
Opened in 1921, the Ambassador Theatre was designed by Herbert J. Krapp and was constructed for the Shubert brothers. It has 1,125 seats across two levels and is operated by The Shubert Organization. The auditorium interior is a New York City designated landmark.
Cinema complex just off Times Square showing mainstream, independent and IMAX films on 25 screens.
A small theater at under 800 seats, the American Airlines offers great views all around, but you can't beat the center orchestra and front mezzanine. Seats near the exits to the right side of the theater are best avoided, as street noise can often be heard and can distract from the performance.
Situated off-shore from the north end of Battery Park and just south of Pier A, the monument stands on a rebuilt stone breakwater in the harbor. The bronze figural group and boat are based on an actual historical event; during World War II, a Nazi U-boat attacked a merchant marine vessel, and while the mariners clung to their sinking vessel, the Germans photographed their victims.
The American Museum of Natural History is a natural history museum on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. In Theodore Roosevelt Park, across the street from Central Park, the museum complex comprises 26 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls, in addition to a planetarium and a library. The museum collections contain over 34 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, human remains, and human cultural artifacts.
America's Response Monument, subtitled De Oppresso Liber, is a life-and-a-half scale bronze statue in Liberty Park overlooking the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City.
The sculpture depicts the ancient Greek Titan Atlas holding the heavens on his shoulders. Atlas was created by the sculptor Lee Lawrie with the help of Rene Paul Chambellan and was installed in 1937. The sculpture is in the Art Deco style of Rockefeller Center
One of the finest theatres on Broadway, August Wilson Theatre has been entertaining audiences since 1925! First opening as the Guild Theatre, with a production of George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra, August Wilson Theatre is a special and intimate venue, known for its phenomenal productions, great sight lines and amazing acoustics!
Balto the sled dog hero nobly stands on a rock outcropping, just north of the Tisch Children's Zoo. His statue is a one of the most popular in the park and is perfect for photo ops for kids or with your own pet dog. In 1925 Nome, Alaska was stricken with a horrific diphtheria outbreak. Not enough antitoxin was available to treat all the sick until teams of mushers and sled dogs battled a blinding blizzard and traveled 674 miles to deliver the medicine.
In 1917, the Broadhurst Theatre was opened by the Shubert brothers, and named for beloved dramatist (and theatre co-manager) George Broadhurst. The Theatre was designed by Herbert J. Krapp, the most prolific Broadway theatre architect of the era. Unusual for a theater of its age, the Broadhurst has retained its original name for its 85 plus years, and the Shubert Organization have retained ownership.
One of the most iconic features in Central Park, this miniature castle is located atop the huge rock outcrop known as Vista Rock, the second highest natural point in Central Park.
The Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (formerly the Royale) was originally built in 1927 by real-estate magnates, the Chanin Brothers, as part of a three-theatre complex that also included the Majestic (a large musical house) and the Theatre Masque, now the John Golden (a small house).
ethesda Fountain, the gorgeous focal point of the Bethesda Terrace, is one of the largest fountains in New York, measuring twenty-six feet high by ninety-six feet wide. It is one of the most well-known fountains in the world, and the statue at its center was the only sculpture to have been commissioned as a part of Central Park's original design. This neoclassical sculpture, also known as Angel of the Waters, features an eight-foot bronze angel who stands above four small cherubim representing health, purity, temperance, and peace.
Lee Shubert built the Booth Theatre in partnership with the producer Winthrop Ames. Named for the actor Edwin Booth (1833-1893), brother to the infamous John Wilkes Booth, the venue was actually the second New York theatre to bear this name. The first was built by Booth himself in 1869 on 23rd Street and 6th Avenue.
