Among the highlights on Upper Broadway stands the magnificent Beacon Theatre. Opened in 1929, the theater was designed by Walter W. Ahlschlager as a prime motion picture venue and still attracts crowds with its schedule of live music and entertainment. The opulence of the theater is credited to the Neo Grecian design of its stage, white marble carpeting on its floors, and eastern mysticism depicted on murals that drape its corridors. The theater has played host to the biggest names of the entertainment industry, even hosting the Tony Awards on several occasion. So for a bit of the old glory while in New York, catch a gig at The Beacon Theater.

Within view of the LaGuardia Airport and Flushing Bay, Citi Field delights sports fans of all ages in its modern, 40,000 seat venue. Major League Baseball's New York Mets have called Citi Field home since 2009. Citi Field's tasteful architecture and improved infrastructure makes it a much more enjoyable place to take in a ballgame than their previous home, Shea Stadium. Bring the whole family and witness one of the greatest American sport pastimes.

The 1923 Yankee Stadium was a historic landmark in the world of Major League Baseball. Some of the sport's greatest players spent their careers there, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. Though they'll never be able to replace that historic monument, the franchise debuted their new stadium in 2009, directly across the street from the old park. The "new" Yankee Stadium has many new features, such as expanded walkways, more concessionaires, and a renovated Monument Park. Lifetime fans will notice familiar touches, though, the biggest among them being the outfield frieze back in its original location around the upper deck. Suite and party facilities are available for those looking for something slightly more private. Check the website for pricing, schedules and other info.
