When you're in NYC, you can't miss the world-famous attraction that is the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge was completed in 1883, making it one of the oldest suspension bridges in the nation and an essential piece of the city's skyline. The bridge connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, extending 1,595.5 feet over the East River. It is equipped with six lanes to accommodate vehicles and a walkway along the centerline for pedestrians and bicycles.

Take a tour of contemporary art from around the world at the New Museum. The museum features works by artists from Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, China, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Germany, Poland, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, among others. The New Museum is widely respected for its curatorial program and has become a primary resort for new art and ideas.

Fans of classical music will enjoy seeing a performance at Bargemusic. This classical music venue was founded in 1977 and makes its home in Brooklyn. Bargemusic is unique because it's a converted coffee barge, docked on the East River at Fulton Ferry. The barge is 102-feet-long and can seat 130 people comfortably for performances. The venue hosts about 220 concerts annually in front of the scenic view of the East River and the lower Manhattan skyline.

You're in for side-splitting entertainment when you see a performance at The Broadway Comedy Club, located in Times Square. The venue claims to be "the best Comedy Club in New York City," and with good reason; the club presents stand-up comics from Comedy Central's Premium Blend, The Late Show with David Letterman, HBO Comedy Arts Festival, BET Comic View, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Keep an eye on the schedule so you can see your favorite comedian in action.
