What are some famous places to visit in New York City?|179370

I have been to New York City countless times, and I know all the obvious places like Times Square, Wall Street, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and places like those. However, I am looking to visit locations where celebrities during the 1940s or 1950s might have visited or filmed at. It would be nice to observe a little more than what is on the surface of New York City. I want to dig a little deeper. By the way, is the Copacabana Nightclub still standing or has that come down?

I_m going to NYC soon and am going to visit The Cotton Club. My grandmother told me about it. Sounds like something you may enjoy too.

I am listing everything within order starting from West Side Central Park.

Below are a few things to see.
