  Many people refer to New York City as the city that never sleeps. There are countless things to do in NYC including watching a Broadway show, shopping at Macey’s, and taking a tour of the Empire State Building—just to name a few. Plus, the view from Time’s Square is breathtaking looking at the digital displays and monitors. Millions of people from all over the world visit glowing city each year. As a resident the Washington, DC area, I seem to visit the Emerald City at least once a quarter. There is always another Broadway show to see.
