Signs at the World's Crossroads
If an alien were to one day land his UFO on earth and started asking around for directions, the best place to send him might be the crossroads for all contemporary western culture - Times Square. Walking through this cacophonous mass market one finds themselves directed on a journey through American advertising, marketing, business and culture by the massive and instantly recognizable signs that tower over the square.
One World Observatory
On top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere is an unforgettable interactive experience and one of the best ways to see the greater New York City area. It's the One World Observatory at One World Trade Center.
Stonewall National Monument & Village Pride Tour
Greenwich Village has a long and diverse history that has made it an important epicenter of LGBT life in New York City. In the pre-Stonewall years, amidst an atmosphere of fear and repression, gay bars and other social gathering spaces were crucial in creating a sense of community and brewing political agitation. This curated adventure, written and produced by the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project, features the Stonewall National Monument and highlights a few significant LGBT historic sites near Stonewall. This tour represents a selection of sites associated with LGBT history that are located within a very small geographic area surrounding the Stonewall Inn. As such, it does not represent the entire long LGBT history of Greenwich Village, nor does it entirely reflect the diversity of today’s LGBT community.
