I've visited NYC roughly every other year for the last 40 years, and sometimes more than that, each time spending a week or so, mostly for annual meetings of the Audio Engineering Society. I strongly agree with the advice noted below -- use the subways and do a lot of walking. Also, buy a Zagat restaurant guide at any NY bookstore -- NY is a city with lots of good food. As an Asian visitor, I'd concentrate on those cuisines that are sort of native to NYC -- traditional Jewish delis and Italian neighborhood places. There are also some very nice places (and even street vendors) with variousMiddle Eastern cuisines.
NYC is the jazz capitol of the world, with the most great musicians playing live in small clubs around the city. The quality and energy level of the playing tends to be significantly greater than the same musicians playing on the road in a different city. To find listings of who's playing where, check out the Village Voice newspaper and the New Yorker magazine. There are also lots of listings online. When you go to hear jazz, you're likely to be returning to your hotel late at night. My rule is to take the subway TO the club, but take a cab back to the hotel. NYC is also one of the great world centers for Theatre and Dance, but it isn't cheap. 73, Jim K9YC On 2/20/2011 6:49 AM, Tony Estep wrote: > For info see: > http://www.thehighline.org/about/park-information > <http://www.thehighline.org/about/park-information> > http://www.circleline42.com/new-york-cruises.aspx > <http://www.circleline42.com/new-york-cruises.aspx> > http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/subwaymap.pdf > > <http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/subwaymap.pdf>Whatever you do in NYC, you'll > have fun.
