posted by SuzyQ on 21 March 2009 at 01:01

Grauman's Chinese Theatre opened in 1927 and was the most spectacular motion picture theatre opening in all of Hollywood history. Besides having an ornate, Chinese ediface, the theatre is best known for the and and foot imprints of Hollywood's most famous film and movie stars. The first actress and actor to put their footprints in cement were Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, in 1927. The most recent stars to leave an impression were Will Smith and Michael Caine. The theater is still showing first-run films, but the main attraction is the footprints and handprints in the cement.

Empire State Building

posted by SuzyQ on 20 March 2009 at 02:49

The Empire State Building used to be the world's tallest building. It no longer holds that designation, but it still is one extremely impressive structure and is the tallest building in the city of New York. Going to the top of the observation deck affords you the most spectacular views of New York City's five boroughs and the surrounding states of Connecticut and New Jersey. You can truly appreciate the vastness of the greatest city on earth when you're up almost 1/4 mile in the sky. The Empire State Building stands on magnificent Fifth Avenue, and is walking distance from the theater and garment districts, plus some of the best shopping in all of New York City. A trip to New York is not complete without a trip to the observation deck.
