Itinerary

1. Grand Central Terminal
Grand Central Terminal was built by and named for the New York Central Railroad; it also served the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and, later, successors to the New York Central. Opened in 1913, the terminal was built on the site of two similarly-named predecessor stations, the first of which dates to 1871. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
2. New York Public Library - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
The library, officially chartered as The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations, was developed in the 19th century, founded from an amalgamation of grass-roots libraries and social libraries of bibliophiles and the wealthy, aided by the philanthropy of the wealthiest Americans of their age. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
3. Tannen's Magic
Tannen's has a long, rich history and is the oldest magic store in New York. Can you fill us in on this? Tannen's was started by Louis Tannen in 1925, originally as kind of a stand on the street to sell magic. Very quickly, within five or six years, he decided that wasn't an easy or enjoyable way to sell magic. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
4. Herald Square
Herald Square had its beginnings in 1846, when the city acquired the area for the extension of Bloomingdale Road, now Broadway. Its name comes from an architecturally distinctive building that once sat at the intersection of Broadway and Sixth Avenue: The New York Herald Building. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
5. Bryant Park
Between 1839 and 1900, it was the site of the Croton Reservoir and Reservoir Square, renamed Bryant Park in honor of William Cullen Bryant in 1884. The construction of the adjacent New York Public Library between 1897 and 1912 coincided with the removal of the reservoir. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
6. Belasco Theatre
The Belasco Theatre is a Broadway theater which opened in 1907 at 111 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

7. Radio City Music Hall
Radio City Music Hall was completed in 1932 as part of the larger development of Rockefeller Center.

Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
8. Rockefeller Center
John D. Rockefeller Jr's vision was for Rockefeller Center to be a place where New Yorkers could come and surround themselves with art and motifs that celebrated the best of the human spirit. Today, his vision has been spectacularly realized, giving you the opportunity to come and discover and be inspired by it all. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
9. St. Patrick's Cathedral
The origins of St. Patrick's Cathedral dates to the middle of the 19th century to the year 1853. That year, John Joseph Hughes, the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, announced his intention to build a larger, more modern cathedral to accommodate the city's rapidly growing Catholic population. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
10. 6½ Avenue
Currently the only street with a fractioned number in New York City, 6 1/2 Avenue was given its official signposts in July 2012 by the Department of Transportation. The secret street was already well known to midtown workers who had long used the public spaces between 57th and 51st to cut through the city, avoiding having to walk around to 6th or 7th Avenue. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
11. The Plaza
Experience New York's Iconic Luxury Hotel on Central Park South. Since its debut on October 1, 1907, The Plaza Hotel has remained a New York icon hosting world leaders, dignitaries, captains of industry, Broadway legends, and Hollywood royalty. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
12. Palladium Times Square
The year 1948 started the mambo craze that spread across the United States. It began at the Palladium Ballroom. At its height, the Palladium attracted Hollywood and Broadway stars, especially on Wednesday nights, which included a free dance lesson.
13. New York City Center
City Center was built as a Shriners temple; when the Shriners could no longer afford to pay the taxes owed on the facility during the Depression, the building became the property of New York City. Mayor Fiorello La Guardia decided to turn the building into a theater for music and dance.
14. Pulitzer Fountain
Pulitzer Fountain is an outdoor fountain located in Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza in New York. The fountain is named after newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer who died in 1911 having bequeathed $50,000 for the creation of the fountain.
