Lady Liberty

The looming Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to United States for its 100th birthday in 1886, symbolically represents freedom and democracy. This national monument weighs 225 tons and stands over 305 feet from the ground to the tip of the flame. The height of the Statue from heel to top of her head is 111 feet and 6 inches, her face measures more than 8 feet tall, with a 35 feet waistline and she wears a shoe size 879 (35 feet long). The tablet she holds in her left hand measures 23 feet 7 inches tall by 13 feet 7 inches wide inscribed with JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776), the American Declaration of Independence date. Lady Liberty has an iron infrastructure and its outer patina (green to blue, depending on the weather) is made of copper, oxidized through the years. She is also known as The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World.

Empire View

Manhattan Skyline, one of New York's most breathtaking views as seen from the Empire State Building's open-air observatory. Soaring 1,454 feet above Midtown Manhattan from base to antenna, it is the world's most famous office building. Construction took one year and 45 days, with more than 7 million man hours, considered the fastest construction to date for a project of its scale. The iconic landmark held the title of the tallest building in the world from 1931 - 1970, and has been been featured in over 200 movies, including recent hits Sleepless in Seattle, Oblivion and Elf.

Serendipity at Rodanthe

Inn at the Rodanthe (aka Serendipity) - the setting for Nicholas Sparks' movie Nights at the Rodanthe. "This rental property was built in the 1980s on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a 200-mile stretch of barrier islands off the coast of the North American mainland that have long been a kite-strewn holiday destination. It was the location for a film called Nights in Rodanthe where Richard Gere and Diane Lane played in a romantic melodrama. The film was so affecting that a group of fans campaigned to save the building when it was threatened with condemnation and in 2010 it was bought and re-opened as a rental property. The decoration has been painstakingly arranged to resemble the movie set with vintage wallpaper and original props such as mirrors and lamps to decorate the bedrooms. Even the swinging doors in the kitchen were replicated. Why such a labor of love? Well, for the fans, the movie represents second chances, the mending of relationships, and the triumph of love..." - from www.uniqhotels.com/the-inn-at-rodanthe
