New York

newyork

New York City dazzles at every turn - and is quite simply one of the most exciting places on the planet. Eight million people now live in the city, with Manhattan Island, at its centre, one of the most densely populated areas of the country.

 

Instructions

 

A tour of the downtown Financial District and the Upper East Side confirms the success of New Yorkers in creating wealth, but the other story of New York is also one of immigrants struggling to survive in cramped Downtown tenements and gritty suburbs. With all this, New York is one of America's most 'European' and liberal-minded cities.

 

Boasting 150 world-class museums, 18,000 restaurants of all types and price ranges, scores of Broadway theaters, and an unbelievable array of shopping, New York City never fails to delight and entertain. The romance of the city is everywhere: in wandering the tree-lined Poet's Walk in Central Park, winter ice skating at the Rockefeller Center; taking in the imperious views atop the Empire State Building; shopping at Tiffany's; dining and unwinding in the city's elegant restaurants and bars; taking in a captivating Broadway show.

 

New York's retail scene offers luxuries galore: the revered emporiums of Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's and other definitive department stores in Midtown; row upon row of exclusive Uptown boutiques showcasing striking designer fashions, stunning jewelry and the finest beauty products; prestige art galleries in Chelsea; purveyors of idiosyncratic antiques and collectibles all over the city.


Food is a constant preoccupation, and the city is home to some of the most varied cuisines in the world. Big Apple specialties like Manhattan clam chowder, cheesecake, Waldorf salad and Eggs Benedict; tasty, immigrant-era staples like stuffed bagels, pastrami, sauerkraut-laden hot dogs and pretzels - sold by Central Park street vendors or out of characterful delis and neighbourhood stores: just a few of the city's better known culinary creations.

 

Landmarks and museums abound. Standing in the harbour is the iconic Statue of Liberty; Downtown is base to the famous towering skyline, which extends northwards into Midtown, site of the Empire State Building and its rivals; grand, commercial Fifth Avenue runs straight north; off to one side of Fifth is the Museum of Modern Art, with its definitive modern art collection, as well as a reputed restaurant. Further up the Avenue, by the huge green space of Central Park, is the spellbinding art and historical collection of the Metropolitan Museum.

 

Entertainment comes in stunning variety: mainstream and fringe theatre productions range from the traditional and heavyweight to the daring and contemporary off-off Broadway. Sample the vibrant jazz scene in Greenwich Village, energetic dance clubs in the Meat Packing District or the finest performing arts at the Lincoln Center.

 

New York offers accommodation for every taste and budget, from distinctive, luxurious hotels housed in historic buildings to comfortable options in the Heart of Midtown or in the friendly Downtown neighbourhoods of Greenwich, Chelsea and Soho.

 

It's easy to tour this city in style. Splash out on a night time helicopter flight around the towering skyscrapers (an unmissable experience) or customize your own private limo tour. Harbour cruises, guided walking tours; culinary, showbiz, museum or borough excursions: you may want to try them all.

 

Whilst Manhattan tends to dominate visitor itineraries, New York City's four other boroughs all have distinctive appeal. Take the famous walk across majestic Brooklyn Bridge and visit the Botanical Gardens and Children's Museum. The Bronx has one of the world's finest zoos; Harlem always offers great live music and soul food, whilst Queens' is home to the baseball stars of the Mets at Shea Stadium.


Attractions

 

'New York, New York, a helluva town', so said Comden and Green in the famous Bernstein song of 1945. If it was a helluva town then, the sentiment has certainly grown through the latter half of the last century, making today's New York one of the best-loved and most exciting cities in the world. Walking through town is an attraction in itself and, surprisingly, even first time visitors may find themselves looking at familiar sights - for the people and fabric of the city have appeared in thousands upon thousands of films and television programmes.

 

For those who enjoy luxury, the New York art world has some extra-special treats. Top museums like the Metropolitan, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim offer special donor programmes, which allow generous givers special access to their remarkable galleries and cafés.

 

Fortunately, most of the special sights of New York are concentrated on the island of Manhattan, though there are some elsewhere. In Manhattan, the top sights are distributed north, south, east and west, though with more in midtown than elsewhere. But New York is so rich in intriguing attractions and romantic atmosphere that visitors rarely manage to satisfy their curiosity in one trip. For it is a city to be visited time and again, constantly growing and changing and keeping itself at the pinnacle of the world. Below we list some of its most outstanding sights. On a visit to the city you will no doubt find many more for yourself. If you don't have a limo to hand when exploring then ask your hotel concierge for the number of a reliable NYC taxi cab firm - one that uses yellow cars carrying the Yellow Medallion - and move around New York the traditional way.

 

If you only have a limited time in New York, the marquee attractions are the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Intrepid Museum, United Nations HQ, Rose Center for Earth and Space, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, FAO Schwarz and Metropolitan Museum. But one could devote a whole day to the visual arts on a trip to Museum Mile on Fifth Avenue, with nine cultural treasures between 82nd and 104th Streets, and some of New York's most distinguished architecture.

 

From the poignant landmarks of Ground Zero to the spectacular views atop the Empire State building, New York is a city packed with special experiences: from the glamour of a Broadway show to the riding the Staten Island ferry; watching a ball game or rollerblading Central Park; dining in style at Alain Ducasse's Essex House restaurant or sipping cocktails in the Rockefeller Center's Rainbow Room; strolling through trendy Greenwich Village or over the historic Brooklyn Bridge. New York has it all.

St John's is noted for its services and for musical events such as its New Year's Eve concerts. Regular public tours are available, and visitors who take the (infrequent) Vertical Tours to the top of the church will see sensational views over the city


Entertainment

 

New York can claim to be the greatest show on earth. Discerning visitors will find that at almost all New York venues booking the best seats will get you into the middle of that show - so dress up, get going, and enjoy your walk-on part.

 

From magnificent operas to vibrant jazz to street-smart rap, the New York music scene is enthralling - and huge. One venue stands out as being the biggest in town: the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on the Upper West Side. A stylish collection of halls, it hosts, amongst others: the Metropolitan Opera - known as The Met - where you may thrill to the sounds of works ranging from the baroque to the intensely modern; and some of the best musicians and conductors of classical music in the world, at the Avery Fisher Hall. Away from the Lincoln Center itself, jazz legends play at the Rose Theater and the associated, intimate confines of Dizzy Club Coca Cola, as well at other top jazz clubs. Classical music plays the starring role at the Carnegie Hall, which may boast the classiest auditorium and schedule in town. At the other end of the musical spectrum, high tempo dance music is a strong feature in the city's nightlife.

 

Theater is another New York standout - perhaps the standout. Broadway's Theater District has the biggest name of any theatrical area in the world, with shows ranging from high-minded plays to light musicals, weighty political dramas to razor sharp comedies: almost all are produced with a panache and professionalism that make them world-beaters. Read listings magazines or speak with your hotel concierge to find out which is the rave of the moment. Off-Broadway refers to the huge range of productions that play elsewhere in Manhattan, from Greenwich Village to Harlem. Many are of just as high quality as a Broadway production, yet more innovative. And one can find equally compelling work performed in the outer boroughs like Brooklyn.

 

Bars and cafes allow New Yorkers to give vent to one of their favourite activities: talking. Luxury hotels boast some of the best in town: for decade upon decade the Waldorf Astoria and The Mark have hosted special tea parties; nowadays the Four Seasons hotel bar receives plaudits as a centre of sophisticated late night action; the Ritz Carlton Battery Park offers visitors a view of the Statue of Liberty along with their Martinis. A hotel like the Soho House runs a bar as a private club, but allows access to hotel guests. Away from the hotels New York has a plethora of bars ranging from the historic - in Grand Central station for example - to the stylishly moderne. Friends, your hotel concierge or a listings magazine can give you more information on which bar might best suit your taste.

 

With millions of people all crowded together in a small space, the metropolis offers a great opportunity for sports clubs to gain a crowd of spectators - and the crowds make an enthralling atmosphere for those who go to see some of America's top sportsmen in action. Baseball is played by the famous Yankees, at Yankee stadium, and the Mets, at Shea Stadium; football (of the American kind, gridiron) by the Giants and the Jets at Giants stadium; ice hockey by the Rangers at Madison Square Gardens; and soccer by the Metrostars at Giants.

Restaurants

 

No city has more flavours than New York, a city that boasts over 18,000 restaurants, a host of discerning diners, and a lot of slick and imaginative cooking.

 

With so many sophisticates to please its star chefs have to work hard: they serve some of the best examples of French cuisine in the world; use evolving New American ideas of seasonality and technique; run smart grills in traditional steakhouses; make top-notch Japanese food and formal Italian; as well as offering dishes from almost every other part of the world.

 

Despite the appeal of this luxury there will come a time in every diner's life when he fancies a sandwich or a hamburger - and New York serves up some of the best. Or noodles at 3am? Not a problem in the city that never sleeps.

 

At breakfast-time, smartly suited diners crowd through the doors of hip joints like Norma's and Balthazar. They eat foods rich or light, cooked or raw, and contrast with sleepy travellers eating at the next table. Speeding commuters catch breakfast on the go.

 

Lunch is often a special meal in New York, where top restaurants combine excellent food with elegant design and efficient service. The Four Seasons, not related to the hotel of the same name, attracts top media players to eat delicious midday meals - Bison carpaccio with black truffles and arugula salad is just one of the delights it offers. Fixed price menus at many top eating houses offer a high value way for visitors to taste their way around New York, if they stay out of stylish lunch places hosted by museums, like The Modern.

 

Dinner time is even more special than lunch, in the opinion of many. Prestigious names like Le Bernardin, which may be the best fish restaurant in the world, go head to head with innovators like Jean Georges and more informal spaces like DB Bistro Moderne. Luxury hotels host outstanding eateries like Atelier in the Ritz-Carlton Central Park. Landmark real estate developments like the Time Warner Center boast restaurants like the high flying Per Se, as a part of their glitter.

 

And for sandwiches? Jewish, German and East European traditions led to the opening of an astonishing number of delicatessens in the city and some of the best survive. Try the Pastrami on Rye at Katz's Delicatessen or one of its rivals. Burgers will be served at many top restaurants but for moderately priced food in a cheerful but classy atmosphere try the aptly-named Burger Joint or JG Melon.

 

Finally, to eat well in this amazing city, you should try to play by a few simple rules. Plan in advance. Find a restaurant that suits your tastes by asking friends and hotel concierges for their recommendations, reading Zagat guides, checking the New York Times and New York Metro websites and so on. Book ahead, perhaps by a month or two, for the best restaurants are in serious demand. Plan to tip well, by doubling the 8.25% sales tax, then adding a buck for luck; also, gratuities to the house captain, wine waiter and coat check may be in order. Then dress up - men have to wear jackets in the more formal venues - and have a fine time eating your very own authentic taste of the Big Apple.

Shopping

 

New York, home to some of the richest people in the world and some of the most cultured, is also home to some of the world's best shopping. With its shopkeepers accustomed to catering for the demands of fashionable New Yorkers, the city is geared just right for the traveller wanting a luxury break.

 

Famous names abound amongst its department stores, many of which have their origin in New York: Saks Fifth Avenue aims to deliver luxury as high performance; Bergdorf Goodman sells to a sophisticated clientele; Bloomingdale's and Macy's do not have a strong focus on luxury, but do great retail, of a busy sort. Everyone loves labels and monikers in New York and these palaces of style sell wide ranges of top designer clothes and other goods.

 

Designers' own flagship stores shimmer alluringly into place on the smarter streets: some of the most exclusive are on Madison Avenue, between 58th and 75th , Whether your taste runs to the minimalist lines of Jill Sander clothing, snappy Armani suiting, modern Donna Karan, or the casual chic of New York's very own Ralph Lauren you will find what you want on the Upper East Side, sometimes known as Manhattan's Gold Coast. Ralph Lauren's shop in particular is a bit of New York history.

 

Every kind of luxury object is available nearby. The Crystal District (Madison - 58th to 63rd St) has much more than clothes: it hosts the shops of Baccarat, the French crystal maker, and its rivals in splendour Lalique, Steuben and Swarovski, as well as a host of other outlets.

 

Jewels glitter in the famously tempting shops around Fifth Avenue - between 51st and 57th, more or less. Bulgari, Tiffany and Co. and their rivals will attire you luxuriantly, be you attending a stylish wedding or a discreet dinner. Should you want to shop around while you look for the ultimate gem, you might also visit the Diamond District on 47th.

 

Yet though New York is a massive metropolis, shops with character make up a huge proportion of its top retailers in all spheres. Some point to Murray's Cheese Shop in Greenwich Village. Others say that if all this running around hurts your feet, then go to the city's biggest seller of stout shoes: Eneslow, on Broadway. Edgy, rough-cut shops shine in many of New York's more vibrant areas. Currently, the Meat Packing District seems to be a favourite of the in-crowd.

 

Wherever you choose to go and however you choose to shop, you should find something to suit you: few cities can match New York's array of stores selling elegant clothes, stylish shoes, beauty products and jewelry.

 

In fact, when confronted with the excess of retail delights offered by New York, you might want expert help. If so, hire a personal shopper or image consultant. Your hotel's concierge may be able to advise you on who to go to, or you might try searching the press for recommended outfits: New York Image Consultant have been mentioned, as have Wendy Lewis & Co. Major stores like Bloomingdale's also have specialist staff to cater to high spenders, offering advice about how to tailor their wares to your wants.
