If you are looking to see the best theater in the world, New York is the place to be. Theaters are abundant in the city both on Broadway and off, and if you somehow tire of the theater scene there are plenty of museums like the MoMA to explore, along with countless music venues offering a wide variety of live music. Of course visiting New York landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, and the Empire State Building is a must for any first time visitor. If you are a sports fan there are several professional sports teams playing exciting games all over the city. Catch a baseball game courtesy of the New York Yankees or the Mets, or a basketball game by the New York Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets. Hockey is also a big deal when the New York Rangers are playing at Madison Square Garden, and home NFL games of the New York Jets or Giants are just a short ride away.
