Seeing New York City from the ground is amazing – the towering buildings, the street vendors, landmark attractions, etc. But there's nothing like getting an aerial view of The Big Apple. Take a ride with Manhattan Helicopters to see the hustle and bustle of the city from what seems like miles away. The breathtaking view is sure to make your trip to NYC even more unforgettable.
The Gershwin Theatre opened in 1972 and is the current home of the Theater Hall of Fame. Oklahoma!, Riverdance, Peter Pan, Fiddler on the Roof, Singin' in the Rain, My Fair Lady, and The King and I are just a few among the many plays that have taken place at Gershwin Theatre. Visit this historic theater entertainment venue and browse the displays in the main lobby. The lobby showcases an exhibition of costumes, opening night gifts, props and stage notes. Perhaps the most interesting items in the collection are personal belongings of noted Broadway entertainers like Carol Channing, Lynn Fontanne, Angela Lansbury, and Bernadette Peters.
