New York and Chicago are dream destinations for many, and the cities are known for mind-blowing entertainment, mouthwatering food and a vibrant culture. Recently, Malayalam cinema’s popular actresses Rima Kallingal, Aparna Balamurali, and Nikhila Vimal explored the cities, and Rima posted a handful of pictures from their trip. From the World Trade Centre, Minskoff Theatre, the Cloud Gate sculpture to the Chicago Art Institute, they have checked out quite a few interesting spots. Here’s what you get to see at the excellent spots they visited.

The Times Square
Rima has shared an awesome click, donning a cowboy hat from Times Square's ‘sunny’ moment. Visitors arriving in New York never miss this spot. More than 50 million tourists visit Times Square every year. The place was earlier called the Long Acre Square. Times Square is a shopaholic’s paradise as it is home to some of the biggest brands in the world. Besides, the restaurants and eateries serve delicious cuisines from all over the world. The visitors hardly miss the spectacular art performances held every evening between 6 pm and 7 pm at Times Square.

The Bean
Often hailed as a ‘must-see’ spot in Chicago, the ‘Cloud Gate’ or ‘The Bean’ sculpture by British Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor is situated in the Millennium Park. It’s known for its reflective design, stainless steel surface which mirrors the Chicago skyline, its visitors and its different ambience during various seasons. Visitors love to click pictures at the spot, especially during the sunset and snowy seasons.

Art Institvte
The Art Institute (‘Institvte’ is an old Latin spelling) of Chicago is home to masterpiece artworks like Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, Grant Wood’s American Gothic and more. There are also many works by Picasso, Hopper, Van Gogh, Monet and other artistes.

Centennial Wheel
In one of the photos, Nikhila Vimal can be seen posing with excitement in front of a giant wheel. A 196-foot-tall Ferris wheel that gives a 360-degree view of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan, the Centennial Wheel at Navy Pier is renowned as a climate-controlled, year-round ride. It accommodates up to eight guests in each enclosure and riders get to go three full revolutions at a time. It’s the most popular during sunset time as visitors love to capture the city during this time while riding on the Ferris wheel.
