Must-See in New York City
Central Park
An 843-acre rectangle of nature that took 20 years and 20,000 workers to make look 'natural.' They moved more earth than digging the Panama Canal.
Empire State Building
Built during the Great Depression as a flex, this building was so empty for years that New Yorkers called it the 'Empty State Building.' Now it's just empty of affordable rent.
Statue of Liberty
She's been standing there since 1886, but did you know she was almost sent to Egypt? And that her original color was brown, not green? The French really knew how to regift.
