      MILK THE HELL OUT OF THE TOURIST PERSPECTIVE. While the exoticism of the city might not be there for you given that you're near the city all the time, the world always has eyes on NYC. Milk any and all tourist related perspective/angle/attraction/hype/marketable aspect of what NYC already has to offer. That's an infinite number of videos for you.....You're creative enough

      @@HereBeBarr Hiya Jon! Love your videos! I'd also recommend The Knickerbocker Hotel rooftop bar. I think you'd be mesmerized by the view up there! An excellent view of the NYE Ball & Paramount Building Clock Tower. Go there at night for the best view, with all the lights on. It's right smacked in the middle of Times Square too. :)

    Even though it's not a secret per se, 54 Below (former location of Studio 54) is a GREAT cabaret venue with top-billed talent in a small dinner club. Every show I've seen here you can make eye contact with the artists. They really play to the room and it's a different experience to a larger hall where they can't see the audience through the flood of lighting.
