That's quite a proficient explanation of the tour since I saw all those places since I was knee high to a grasshopper as my parents loved that town...Broadway seemed our home when each new musical premiered...the lights, sounds coming from the Metropole Cafe with Gene Krupa playing the drums got my hooked on his music at 12...Madam Liberty was always fun climbing to her torch...and ice skating at Rockefeller Center to Christmas music was grand...Chinatown was always smelling with incense & Food.
