New York City, New York

This one is pretty much the cultural capital of our country and one of the world’s greatest cultural cities. If you love musicals and theatre, Broadway is the place to be. Or you can even check out the smaller off-Broadway venues.

The Big Apple was also the home of punk music throughout the ’70s and a great jazz city with clubs like the Iridium on Broadway, where Les Paul could be found back in the day. This city is also the home of modern art, with hundreds of galleries available for you to view.

In fact, people say that there’s more culture on New York’s Museum Mile than anywhere else on this earth. World-famous galleries here include the Whitney Museum, the Met, and the Guggenheim.

And this place is also one of America’s great literary cities, with The Chelsea Hotel hosting the likes of Arthur Miller, Dylan Thomas, and William Burroughs.
