There’s a certain pride within New Yorkers regarding our next go-to destination: The Empire State Building. It’s true that it’s no longer the tallest building in the world today, but it was on top of that list for 41 years and nothing has yet to strike it down. This was proven after a B-25 Bomber crashed into the building in 1945. There were some damage, but the building was back in business the following day.
The skyscraper has now become part of pop culture. The most famous depiction of the building in film was, and always will be, King Kong. When people remember the film, it’s always that moment when the giant ape was on top of the Empire State Building, growling at the planes swirling around him. One of the foremost pop artist of our time, Andy Warhol even paid tribute to the skyscraper in the film, Empire. Let’s not forget all the comic books where the hero stands on top of the antennae to survey New York as well.The world has the Himalayas; New Yorkers have the Empire State Building.

After being welcomed by Lady Liberty, the next place you might want to go to is the Brooklyn Bridge. With its breath-taking lights at night and magnificent architecture during the daytime, it’s such a wonder to know that it’s been serving as the connection between Manhattan and Brooklyn since 1883. It’s an old sturdy bridge, ain’t it?
This is also one famous bridge. It’s been shown in film, television, print, and even video games. One of the more recent famous movies to show the bridge was the first installment of the Fantastic Four movies, where he stops an 18 wheeler truck from killing a man on the road. In the small screen—it’s all over the place: from The Cosby Show to CSI: NY. Most comic book collectors see the Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop for the final fight between good and evil. Avid video gamers may remember this bridge in Project Gotham Racing and others. These are just some of the reasons how a bridge became so famous around the world.
It’s romantic, historical, and famous.
Wouldn’t you want to see it for yourself?

The White House, located on 1600 Pensnsylvania Avenue in the District of Columbia (DC), is the official residence and work place of the president of the United States. The structure itself is built on white-painted Aquia sandstone in late Gregorian architectural style. It has been the executive residence of the POTUS (president of the US, that is!) since John Adams.
Aside from housing the president, the White House is also a major tourist attraction. However, due to recent security concerns, tours are limited. Groups of 10 or more may visit the White House and take a tour of the internal area, but background checks are done for visitors 14 years old or above.
