The Statue of Liberty
The Niagara Falls
The Empire State Building
Grand Army Plaza
The Statue of Liberty commemorates the American Declaration of Independence and was a gift from the people of France. The female form represented by the sculpture is based on Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty. She holds a torch and a tabula ansata (tablet) that has the date of the American Declaration of Independence written in it (July 4, 1776).
Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. Wikipedia
The Empire State Building took only one year and 45 days to build, or 7 million man-hours. There are observatories on both the 86th and 102nd floors. The static electricity is so strong on the top of the building that people on the observatory floor can see sparks. Visitors can see 80 miles into New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts on a clear day.
Grand Army Plaza is the gateway to Central Park. Of the four corners of Central Park, it's the only one that's officially part of the Park's 843-acre landscape.
