New York City is changing every day with new attractions and upcoming entertainment options. A visitor may visit now, but in their next visit, they may notice there is something completely different or unique. New York has many existing landmarks and more exciting projects planned for the future, such as:

The New Yankee Stadium

The original stadium was built in 1923, however when the original Yankee Stadium was built, they knew in some years they would need to remodel it. The Yankees began to build the new stadium in 2006 and completed it in 2008. The stadium is an epitome of innovation and modernity, with the largest ever seen LED screens mounted above the field.

TWA Flight Center Hotel

The swanky retro hotel is expected to open in November of 2019 by the JFK Airport. It's built-in the iconic former terminal designed in the 1960s by Eero Saarinen. The hotel has a heated rooftop pool and has become the talk of the town these days thanks to its unique aesthetic and celebrity exposure.

The Shed

It's a new five-story building, expected to open in late 2019. It's dedicated to displaying different artistic inventions in the latest most expensive private developments in the Hudson Yards neighborhood, one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in New York.
