The Empire State Building is the tallest skyscraper in New York and one of the most famous in the world, thanks to the films that immortalized it, with the most popular being King Kong. It is an Art Deco building used as a business centre. It opened in 1931, and was 381 meters high but is now 443metres high when 50 years it was heightened, thanks to the addition of a huge television antenna. It remained the tallest building in America until the opening of the Twin Towers in 1973. It is now back to being the tallest since the Twin towers were removed. The importance to tourism is due to the presence of the Empires 86th floor, a wonderful roof terrace which offers a superb view of almost all of Manhattan, to those people who have had the patience to endure the long queues at the lifts.

You have to take a look at the Federal Hall. The building that we see today dates back to 1812 and rose from the ashes of the original New York City Hall, dated 1700 and used as administrative headquarters in New York City. The building has a facade composed of Doric columns inspired by the Parthenon in Athens, a symbol of democracy, surmounted by a roof that is inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, representing the economic power. In front of the building, stands a huge statue of the first U.S. president, George Washington. The New York City Hall has been the theatre for some of the most important historical events of the United States of America: it was here, for example, in 1865, which gathered representatives of thirteen colonies to protest against the Stamp Act passed by the British government, it was also here that, after the attainment of independence in 1789, they settled the first Capitol, which is the seat of government of the United States, and the name of the city hall building was changed to Federal Hall.
Try Madison Square Garden, it is a huge complex that in addition to the stadium is the home of the basketball team the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers hockey. It has a maximum capacity of 20,000 people and also includes a conference centre, a theatre, a terrace and two restaurants. Its worldwide fame derives from the importance and grandeur of the events, such as sporting, political and entertainments, which are held there. Suffice to say that this stage has seen performances by Frank Sinatra, Madonna and Elvis Presley. These events are then transmitted via the Madison Square Garden Network. Currently, Madison Square Garden is located in Manhattan on Seventh Avenue but it has move three times since it was built.
