The Riddles
The Grand Dame of the Strip
A beacon of Deco, a gem for the stage, I’ve entertained crowds through every age.
Once a house for the "talkies," now curtains fly high, my glowing marquee lights the evening sky.
In 1930, I opened my doors with a flair— check the name on my crown; you’ll find me right there.
The Gourmet Corner
A feast for the senses, a taste of the world, with blossoms out front and banners unfurled.
Since 'ninety-six, I’ve offered the best, from gourmet treats to a culinary quest.
Look for the black where the shoppers all flock— I’m the tastiest corner on this city block!
The Meeting Spot
I stand on a corner where the time’s never still,
The traffic moves fast with a mechanical thrill.
I’m tall, with faces of four,
A landmark of history at Broadway’s front door.
Wait for a friend at my base on the street—
What am I called where the two avenues meet?
The Photo Task
Take a picture with one of our murals and post it to your Instagram story.
