New York City counts with one of the most impressive collections of museums of any city in the world. Among them you can find the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), where you can see some of the most famous paintings in history, including Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí, and The Water Lilies by Claude Monet.

It offers the unmissable opportunity of seeing some of the most important works of art from all over the world, including from classical antiquity, the European masters, Islamic art, and modern art.
Among New York City’s cultural offering, we cannot forget, of course, of all the theaters that you will find on the well-known Broadway Avenue. It has over 41 professional theaters and, along with London’s West End, Broadway’s considered one of the top areas for live English-language theater.
Rockefeller Center, a U.S. National Historic Landmark, has come to represent, along with the Empire State Building, New York City’s standing as a city of skyscrapers. This complex of skyscrapers and theaters has its centerpiece in 30 Rockefeller Plaza, whose observation deck offers one of the best views of New York City.
What to eat in New York City?
Home to some of the best restaurants from renowned chefs, New York City is a foodie’s dream. The city’s status as a melting pot that has received immigrants from all over the world means that New York City’s cuisine is also hard to define. You’ll find the gastronomy from almost all ethnic groups in New York.
Be that as it may, there are certain dishes that have come to represent the city and trying them will help you get a true New York experience during your stay. The pastrami sandwich at Katz’s Deli is one of them: it has been a New York favorite for over 100 years.
Other such dishes include the porterhouse steak at Peter Luger Steak House, the coal-oven pizza at John’s of Bleecker Street (one of New York's oldest pizzerias), the soup dumplings at Joe’s Shanghai, and, of course, you won’t experience New York City completely without having a hot dog from Gray’s Papaya.
