New York City

Battery ParkA world mecca for tourism and entertainment. Throngs flock to Times Square every day of the year. Dozens of movies and TV shows are shot in NYC's streets every week. At any given time, hundreds of musical performances and stage plays are being produced. But some of New York City's entertainment meccas are little-known. St. George, Staten Island and Bayside, Queens could each claim status as actors' colonies in the past, and early motion pictures were shot at Brooklyn's Vitagraph Studios in Midwood.
