The New York City has fascinated millions of people of all ages for many decades. It is one of the most populous cities in the States and one of handful cities that have highest living costs in the world. Young adults are hoping to land a job and live there after finishing their studies, while others believe that they can conquer anything if they can survive in The Big Apple. Singers, songwriters have fell in love with the City and wrote several hit songs about it, take the example Sinatra’s New York New York and An Old Fashioned Christmas, Blue System’s Big Yellow Taxi and Alice Cooper’s Big Apple Dreamin to name just a few. Big Hollywood production houses have also seen the effects of NYC to the audiences and use it to create box office movies like Godzilla, Spiderman, Men in Black and King Kong, respectively.
If you are a big movie fan and interested to visiting the City in near future, you may want to plan your trip in advance. You can opt to visit several famous buildings there or like me, plan for a movie trail tour. Here is how to make a movie trail tour: Create a list of your favorite movie scenes that take place in NYC and take some time to do a research about the scene locations. Here I list several places in NYC that are featured in some of my most favorite Hollywood movies.
1. Madison Square Garden.
Located in 7th Avenue at 32nd street, the place is featured in heart-pounding movie Godzilla, Highlander (the big screen) and romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant, Music and Lyrics.
2. Central Park Zoo and Grand Central Station.
These are two locations featured in hilariously funny cartoon, Madagascar.
3. New York Public Library.
Located in 455 5th Ave at 42nd street, the library is featured in Spiderman. If you are a big Spiderman fan, you may want to visit Roosevelt Island Tram and Columbia University as well. Both locations are featured in the big-screen hit too.
4. Empire State Building.
Situated on 350 5th Avenue, the building is featured in King Kong and several other renowned movies as well.
You can make a list like this and plan your tour in advance. After you finish your tour, take time to enjoy coffee in a local coffee shop or buy a ticket for a Broadway or off-Broadway comedy musical show like the LMAO Off-Broadway show where you can enjoy authentic New York City theatre show, live. Accommodations are easy to find. There are many discounted hotel rooms available in the City that can give you best value for your money. Getting to NYC is also easy. You can take bus to New York City -bus is one of the most affordable transportation means to get there beside trains. Cheap flights are also available in most well-known online travel directories.
