Manhattan North, which is the convention stating that the island of
Manhattan is oriented exactly north to south (it's actually
northeast to southwest), streets run east and west and avenues run
north and south. This makes it relatively easy and straightforward

avenues) go is "evens go east" -- or if there are cars parked, look
which way they are facing. This helps about 98% of the time. But
beware of any bicyclists unlawfully going against the proper flow
of vehicular traffic -- or, for that matter, police or other

The subway charges a flat fare of $2.25,
regardless of distance traveled. The much-feared subway crimes of
the 70s and 80s are for the most part a thing of the past, and it
is almost always completely safe. Just use common sense when
traveling late at night alone and try to use heavily-traveled
stations. Nowadays, you are statistically more likely to get struck
by lightning than be a victim of crime on the subway.
Subway basics:
- Every line is identified by either a letter or a
number. Ignore the colors. .
- Uptown/downtown in Manhattan- Almost all lines in
Manhattan go north/south and the direction is always clearly noted
on the platforms and in train announcements.^ Whether renting a cabin or tent-camping or just going for a day of hiking, this region is a good getaway for you and your dog.

In general,
'Bronx-Bound' and 'Queens-Bound' are synonymous with uptown, while
'Brooklyn-Bound' is synonymous with downtown. Station entrances
will also indicate the direction (e.g., "Uptown and the Bronx and
Queens" or "Downtown and Brooklyn") so be careful when entering the
station. If no direction is indicated, then you can use that
entrance for both uptown and downtown tracks.

cards must be purchased at a machine).
- Swiping Technique/Etiquette- To pass through the
turnstile, you must slide the card with the logo facing you and
magnetic strip down. The cards are designed so that experienced
users can swipe through without breaking stride. Swiping the card
improperly or moving the turnstile incorrectly could mean the
forfeiture of your fare for pay per ride cards or a lockout of 18

) If you stand at the
turnstile and try to jerk the card through the reader, you may
fail. The trick is to hold the card out to your side in a fixed
position and walk it through as if it were coming in for a landing.
Beware of failure, though. It can be quite discomforting to walk
into the bar if your swipe failed (you'll know it succeeded because
the display will flash "Go" in green and you'll hear a *CLICK*
sound).

Even in Manhattan, with its dense subway network, buses can
often be the best way of making a cross-town (i.e. east to west or
vice versa) journey. And outside peak hours, a ride by bus from the
tip of Manhattan at Battery Park to Midtown is a good and cheap way
of taking in the sights.

The buses that traverse the park are the M66, M72, M79,
M86, M96, and M106. These generally operate on or around 66th,
72nd, 79th, 86th, 96th, and 106th Streets, respectively; however,
the eastbound M66 runs on 65th St on the West Side and 67th St.
east of Madison Av., the westbound M66 runs on 68th St. on the East
Side east of Madison Av., the M79 uses 81st St. to go around the

the park at 96th/97th street and travels the same route as the M96
on the West Side.

It will be vertically
oriented. This is different from entering the subway where you
don’t stick it in as much, but slide it horizontally oriented
through the swipe device, with the front toward you and the
magnetic strip on the bottom.
The fareboxes also accept coins but not paper money as they are
unable to read paper money, and even so, bills would be shredded in
the "fare collection vacuum". As a safety precaution, drivers do
not handle money. Change is not given, so exact fares must be paid.
The fareboxes accepts all coins (dollar coins included) except
pennies. Rarely used half-dollar coins cannot be used because the
coin slots on the fareboxes are not big enough.

However, in some instances, cabs have been known
to have "broken" credit card machines. To avoid an awkward
situation, either make sure to ask the driver at the beginning of
the ride. If the driver tries to claim that the meter is still
broken, tell him/her that you are calling 311 and reporting the
taxi number. All cell phones can call 311 in New York City and a
complaint can be registered with the TLC (Taxi Commission).
Info on fares, flat fares, group rides and rules are online at
the NYC.gov website
[58].
Livery or Black Car- Known as car services or
livery cabs, these cars may only be called by phone, are flat rate
rather than metered (
ask for the fare before getting in),
and are not allowed to cruise the street or airports for fares.
Their license plates will say either "Livery" or "TLC" on the
bottom. Since yellow cabs are hard to come in the outer boroughs,
limos are particularly useful for getting to the airport (your
hotel can arrange one or look up the yellow pages). In some areas,
livery cabs can be flagged on the street.

Negotiate the fare before you get inside. A tip of 10-20%
is expected and passengers must pay all tolls.
Tipping- Tips of 10-20% are expected in both
yellow cabs as well as livery cabs. A simple way of computing the
tip is to add 10% of the fare and round up from there. Thus, if the
meter reads $6.20, you pay $7 and if the meter reads $6.50, you pay
$8. Always tip more for better service (for example, if the cabbie
helps you with your bags or stroller). Don't tip at all if the
service is lousy (for example, if the cabbie refuses to turn on the
AC on a hot day).

If you are in doubt, ask
an airport staffer for help finding a cab or cabstand. Major
airports have taxi information cards for passengers.
For all cabs, you pay the tolls for bridges, tunnels and
highways, even if the cab has an E-ZPass to use the express toll
lane. Be careful of being overcharged by cabbies for toll
crossings—on some bridges and tunnels (like the Queens-Midtown
Tunnel) rates are not posted in plain view. So, a crossing which
actually cost the cab driver $4 is easily passed onto the
unsuspecting passenger as a $5 charge. Outside the city, other than
flat fare destinations and Newark Airport, meter rates are doubled
(when going to Westchester or Nassau County).
There are also bizarre van and shuttle services in different
parts of the city.

Parking meters demand constant feeding, and are hungry late into
the night in some areas. In some parts of Midtown Manhattan, there
are pay-and-display meters which are only in effect from 6PM to
midnight on weekdays (and all day on weekends), during the workday,
parking is prohibited except for commercial trucks. It is a good
idea to keep a roll of quarters in your glove compartment. Parking
is permitted at broken meters, but only for one hour, even if the
meter would have let you park longer. Parking is Illegal at ALL bus
stops and within 15 feet of fire hydrants.

In Queens, numbers identify not only avenues and streets, but also
roads, places, crescents, and lanes, all of which might be near
each other. Read the entire street sign. Outer borough highways are
confusing and often narrowed to one lane, the potholes could trap
an elephant, the signs are sometimes misleading, exits which should
appear do not, and signs directing a highway approach drag you
through miles of colorful neighborhood (in the wrong direction)
before finally letting you onto the highway with a stop sign and
six inches of merge space.
That said, there are several points of entry/exit into the city
from the New Jersey side: the Lincoln Tunnel (midtown/41st Street),
the Holland Tunnel (downtown/Canal Street), and the George
Washington Bridge (way uptown/178th Street) — all are accessible
from the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) and from I-80. The Midtown
Tunnel under the East River is convenient for Long Island
travelers, as it becomes the Long Island Expressway.

It is a good idea to check radio
traffic reports, especially before crossing a bridge or tunnel.
Three different stations have reports every 10 minutes around the
clock: 880 AM (on the 8's), 1010 AM (on the 1's), and 1130 AM (on
the 5's).
Driving cross-town (east-west) in Manhattan during rush hours is
especially troublesome because the street lights are optimized to

commute to work by bicycle every day, taking advantage of the

Do
A general word of advice on sightseeing in New York:
Tourists often spend their entire vacation in New York standing
in line (or as New Yorkers say, "standing on line"). This is often
unnecessary; there are usually alternatives. For example, one can
choose to avoid the Empire State Building during the day (it is
open, and empty, late, until midnight or 2AM on weekends during
summer), skip the Statue of Liberty in favor of the Staten Island
Ferry, and stay away from the Guggenheim on Monday (it is one of
the only museums open that day). Also, there is no reason to stand
in line for a Broadway show if you already have a ticket with an
assigned seat. If you prefer, get a drink nearby and come back
closer to curtain time, when you can walk right in. The lines for
bus tours can be absurd because tourists all seem to have the exact
same itinerary - which is get on a bus in the morning in Times
Square, get off for the Statue of Liberty, and finish on the East
Side in the afternoon. Why not go downtown in the morning, and save
Midtown for the afternoon? You will thank yourself for avoiding the
crowds. Also, understand that buses are the slowest way to go
crosstown in Midtown Manhattan during peak hours, and taxis are not
much better. You are often better off on foot.

Entertainment
Theater and Performing Arts
New York's Broadway is famous for its many shows, especially
musicals. You might want to visit TKTS online
[93], which offers tickets for
shows the same night at discounted prices, usually 50% off or visit
BroadwayBox.com,
[94] a community site
posting all recent Broadway discounts. TKTS has two offices, one at
Times Square with lines often hours long, and a much faster one
(sometimes minutes) at South Street Seaport (Corner of John St,
just south of Brooklyn Bridge). Note that only cash is accepted at
South Street. Show up at opening time for best selection. Tickets
to most Broadway shows are also available from the Broadway
Concierge and Ticket Center
[95],
inside the Times Square Visitor Center. They offer restaurant and
hotel recommendations, parking help, and other services in addition
to ticket sales, available in several languages.
New York boasts an enormous amount and variety of theatrical
performances. These shows usually fall into one of three
categories: Broadway, Off-Broadway, or Off-Off-Broadway.
Broadway refers to the
shows near Times Square that usually play to theaters of 500 seats
or more. These include the major musicals and big-name dramatic
works, and are the most popular with visitors. Tickets for Broadway
shows can run to $130 a seat, though discounters like TKTS (above)
make cheaper seats available.
Off-Broadway indicates
performances that are smaller (less than 500 seats) and usually of
a certain intellectual seriousness.
.^ Neighborhood: Manhattan - Times Square .- Luxury & Boutique Hotels in New York City | Tablet Hotels 2 February 2010 16:32 UTC www.tablethotels.com [Source type: News]
Tickets to Off-Broadway shows tend to range
from $25–50.
Off-Off-Broadway refers to those shows that
play to very small audiences (less than 100 seats) with actors
working without equity. These can be dirt cheap and often very
good, but some may be sufficiently avant-garde as to turn off
conservative playgoers. Off-Off-Broadway Theaters worth checking
out are Rising Sun Performance Company
[96], Endtimes Productions
[97], and
The People's Improv Theater
[98].
For current and upcoming Broadway and Off-Broadway info and
listings, visit Playbill.com
[99]. This site also has lots
of articles on what's going on in the NY commercial theatre scene.
Broadway.com
[100] and
Newyorkcitytheatre.com
[101] also has plenty
of info, as well as some videos and photos. Theatermania
[102] has many discounts to
the bigger shows, and also provides listings for the Off-Off scene.
If visiting in the summer, brave the huge lines and attempt to get
tickets to the Public Theater's
[103] annual "Shakespeare
in the Park," which often features big-time stars of stage and
screen. Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Natalie Portman, and Liev
Schrieber are just a few of the actors to have appeared here in
recent years. Oh, and it's free. Just get to one of the box offices
ridiculously early, especially the one at the Park.
It's possible to purchase tickets to The Tony Awards, Broadway's
biggest award ceremony and the culmination of the theatrical season
in the city. These aren't cheap, but if you're into the theatre
scene and know something about the various performers being
honored, it can be an exciting night. In any case, the performances
are always fun, and you can catch moments that aren't in the
broadcast. Always the first or second Sunday night in June, visit
The Tony Awards website
[104] for the most current
details.
New York has a wide variety of musical and dance companies,
including several that are among the world's most renowned. There
are also numerous small companies putting on more idiosyncratic
shows every night of the week.

huge number of theaters playing independent and repertory programs.

) around the city. Be advised
that, as with everything else in New York, movies are quite
popular, and even relatively obscure films at unappealing times of
the day can still be sold out. It's best to get tickets in advance
whenever possible.
As many films premiere in New York, you can often catch a
moderated discussion with the director or cast after the show.
Sometimes even repertory films will have post-screening discussions
or parties. Check listings for details.
In addition to the more than 15 commercial multiplexes located
throughout the city, some of the more intriguing New York film
options include:
- Film Forum 209 West Houston Street. A stylish
theater in Greenwich Village that runs two programs—contemporary
independent releases and classic repertory films. While the current
releases are almost always interesting and worth seeing, it's the
repertory programming schedule that filmlovers anticipate
eagerly.
- American Museum of the Moving Image 35th Ave
and 36th Street, Queens. AMMI contains a museum devoted to,
literally, moving images, so visitors will find exhibits on
zoetropes and video games in addition to film and television. They
also put on a terrific screening program, with films showing
continuously throughout the day.

The

- Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue (at
East 2nd Street), [108]. A varied
program of unique films, both repertory and new, most playing for
only one or two screenings. Many of the films shown here can't be
seen anywhere else (for better or worse). It also plays host to
several film festivals yearly.
- Cinema Village On 22 East 12th Street between
University Place and Fifth Ave (212) 629-5097, [109] Cinema Village
specializes in showing documentaries, independent and foreign
films. Often the films there will not be playing anywhere else in
the country and Q&As with directors are common at opening
weekends.
- Film Society at Lincoln Center Walter Reade
Theater at Lincoln Center, 155 West 65th Street (at Broadway), [110]. The Film Society always
puts on a terrific repertory program and shows a wide variety of
experimental and foreign films. In addition, numerous talks and
panels are held here, many featuring bold-named directors,
screenwriters, and actors.
- MoMA 11 West 53rd Street. In addition to being
the crown jewel of modern art museums, MoMA puts on a terrific
repertory program in a nicely renovated theater below the museum.

Running in October, the New York Film Festival is one of the
country's best, with great films from around the world accompanied
by interesting discussions, lectures, and panels. Be advised that
tickets usually sell out at least a month in advance.
- Tribeca Film Festival. Throughout May the
movie theaters of Lower Manhattan are taken over by the Tribeca
Film Festival, which puts on a truly enormous amount of screenings
and talks. Just a few years old, the Tribeca Film Festival has
already secured a prominent place in New York's film calendar.
Parades
New York City hosts many parades, street festivals and outdoor
pageants. The following are the most famous:
- New York's Village Halloween Parade. Each
Halloween (October 31) at 7PM. This parade and street pageant
attracts 2 million spectators and 50,000 costumed participants
along Sixth Avenue between Spring Street and 21st Street. Anyone in
a costume is welcome to march; those wishing to should show up
between 6PM-9PM at Spring Street and 6th Avenue.
- Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The morning of
each Thanksgiving on Central Park West, this parade attracts many
spectators and is broadcast on nationwide television.
- St. Patrick's Day Parade. The largest St.
Paddy's parade in the world! Route is up 5th Ave from 44th Street
to 86th Street and lasts from 11AM to about 2:30. Celebrations in
pubs citywide happen the rest of the day and night until the green
beer runs out.
Buy
New York is the fashion capital of the United States, and is a
major shopping destination for people around the world. The city
boasts an unmatched range of department stores, boutiques, and
specialty shops. Some neighborhoods boast more shopping options
than most other American cities and have become famous in their own
right as consumer destinations. Anything you could possibly want to
buy is found in New York, including clothing, cameras, computers
and accessories, music, musical instruments, electronic equipment,
art supplies, sporting goods, and all kinds of foodstuffs and
kitchen appliances. See the borough pages and
district sub-pages for listings of some of the
more important stores and major business districts (of which there
are several).

Century 21 and
Filene's, where
many New Yorkers get designer clothing for less.
Convenience Stores
If you need everyday items such as bottled water, packed snacks,
photo developing and medicine, you can go to a
Duane
Reade convenience store. They are located virtually
everywhere in
Manhattan
and in a few instances, particularly in
Midtown, there may be more than 1 Duane Reade
per block. There are some
CVS and
Rite
Aid pharmacies in the city as well.
For a more authentically New York experience, stop by one of the
thousands of bodegas/delis/groceries throughout Manhattan. Although
sometimes dirty-looking and often in apparent need of repair, you
can purchase groceries, water, inexpensive flowers, coffee, and
cooked food -- typically 24/7.
Shopping in Airports
JFK: Most shops are chain outlets, the same as
can be found in most of large airports in the world--so it's pretty
difficult to feel the spirit of the fashion capital if you only
have 2 hours in JFK waiting for a connection flight.

There are
literally tens of thousands of restaurants, ranging from dingy
$2-a-slice pizza joints to the $500-a-plate prix fixe sushi at
Masa.
[111] Thousands of delis, bodegas,
and grocery stores dot every corner of the city and DIY meals are
easy and cheap to find. Street food comes in various tastes,
ranging from the ubiquitous New York hot dog vendors to the many
middle eastern carts at street corners in mid-town.
Fruit stalls appear at many intersections from Spring to Fall
with ready to eat strawberries, bananas, apples, etc available at
very low cost. Vegetarians will find New York to be a paradise with
hundreds of vegetarian-only restaurants and good veggie options in
even the most expensive places.

You can get bagels anywhere
in the city but, for the best bagels you may have to trek away from
the main tourist sites. H&H Bagels at 80th St. and Broadway is
very popular and expensive, but many bagel connoisseurs consider
Absolute Bagels at Broadway and 107th street to be the
most traditional and best. Ess-a-Bagel on 21st and 1st Av. and 3rd
Av. between 51st and 52nd Sts. also has a strong following. For
anyone out there wanting to try a REAL bagel, trek out to Midwood,
Brooklyn (Avenue J on the Q subway line). .

Vendors all over the
city sell hot dogs - affectionately called "dirty water dogs" by
the locals - from pushcarts on city sidewalks and in parks. Choose
your toppings from mustard, ketchup, and relish (or just ask for
everything), wrap the dog in a paper napkin, and walk along the
sidewalk trying not to let the toppings slip and slide all over
your hands. Also recommended is Papaya King (several locations),[112]
known for their inexpensive meals ($3.25 for a dog and a drink) and
their blended tropical fruit drinks and smoothies. Or, take the
Subway to Coney Island (D, F, N, Q trains, Coney Island - Stillwell
Ave. stop) for the famous Nathan's hot dog (1310 Surf Ave).
- The New York Deli Sandwich. Another delicacy
brought over by Jewish Immigrants, you must try either a corned
beef or pastrami sandwich (a "Reuben" is always a good choice).
There are some better known delis in the city, but the most famous
one is Katz's Deli at Houston and Ludlow Streets. They have been
around since 1888, and still pack them in day and night.
- The New York Pizza. A peculiarly New York
thing, you can buy pizza, with a variety of toppings, by the slice
from almost every pizzeria in the city. A New York pizza has a thin
crust (sometimes chewy, sometimes crisp) well lathered with cheese.
Buy a slice, mop the oil off with a fistful of napkins, fold in
half lengthwise, and enjoy. If you just want a piece of plain
cheese pizza, ask for "a slice." Or pick up one with pepperoni --
the quintessential meal on the go in New York.
- The New York Cheesecake. Made famous by
Lindy's and Junior's deli in New York, it relies upon heavy cream,
cream cheese, eggs and egg yolks to add a richness and a smooth
consistency.
- The New York Egg Cream. A blend of chocolate
syrup, milk, and seltzer water. One of the best found at Katz's
Delicatessen.
A number of restaurants in New York do not take credit cards,
particularly smaller establishments, and especially restaurants in
Chinatown. Still, others maintain minimum purchase amounts for
credit/debit purchases. Most establishments will prominently
display this requirement, so keep your eyes open if you typically
pay for meals with plastic.
New Yorkers often calculate the base tip by doubling the tax.
Since tax is 8.875%, if you double this, 17-18% approximates the
tipping customs elsewhere in the US. Most New Yorkers tip 20% and
above if they feel they were treated well. Many restaurants include
a mandatory service charge for large parties, and if this charge is
shown on your bill, you may be stuck tipping at least that much,
but you don't need to tip more. (If service is horrible, you can
choose to refuse to pay the service charge and so inform the
manager, but never do that unless something really terrible
happened.) If you receive poor service and tip less than customary,
the waiter may confront you and ask for a normal-sized tip. This
isn't totally uncommon and might happen because the waiter's
accustomed to European tourists who accidentally give low tips
because they don't understand the US custom. A confrontation is
different from an included service charge. Remember that while it
is expected for you to tip normally for adequate service, you are
never obligated to tip and owe the waiter no argument if your
service was truly awful.
When paying cash (without a tab) in a bar, tipping a dollar or
two per drink is common in bars where drinks cost $5 - $15. But 20%
is a good rule. Though this custom is looser than restaurant
tipping, you're likely to blend in a bit better if you do it.
Restaurants with entrees under $20 are unlikely to have any
preference about what their customers wear. If you're from
elsewhere in the US and wish to "pass" as a local within Manhattan,
pay attention to your shoes and coat, though it's hard for
wikitravelers to arrive at consensus on fashion. Most local
exclusiveness is pretty understated, but where it exists it's to
the B&T crowd or "bridge and tunnel people," nightlife
commuters from New Jersey and Long Island that supposedly threaten
to rob bar-filled neighborhoods of their local color, so if your
style doesn't fit in but is obviously from outside the US, you may
find yourself as welcomed as graciously as any local, if not more
so. And New Yorkers are mostly underdressed compared to Sydney,
London, or Paris.
Like most major cities, New York has some expensive, extremely
fashionable restaurants that care about, and enforce, a certain
level of dress among their customers - but "jackets only"
restaurants are very uncommon nowadays.
Vegetarians
New York is a friendly place for vegetarians and vegans. There
are many vegetarian only restaurants with offerings varying from
macrobiotic food to Ayurvedic thalis or Asian Buddhist food. But,
more importantly, almost every restaurant at every point on the
price scale has vegetarian dishes that are more than an
afterthought. Even Per Se, one of the most
expensive and sought after restaurants in the city, has a seven
course vegetarian tasting menu well worth the expense. DIY
vegetarians will have no problem finding fresh vegetables, a wide
variety of cheese, bread, and prepared vegetarian foods in New York
supermarkets.
Street Food
Nothing differentiates New York more from other American (and
European) cities than the astonishing amount of food cooked and
served on the streets. Starting with the thousands of hot dog
stands on almost every street corner (try Hallo Berlin on
54th and Fifth for the best rated sausages), the possibilities are
endless. People trek to Jackson Heights in Queens for a nibble of
the famous arepas of the Arepa Lady. Freshly cooked Indian
dosas are served up for a pittance at the NY Dosas stand
in Washington Square Park. The Trinidadian/Pakistani
Trinipak cart on 43rd and Sixth. Danny Meyer, the famous
restauranteur, has a burger stand ("Shake Shack") in Madison Square
Park as well as a new location on the upper west side. The halal
offerings in midtown are legendary (Kwik-Meal on 45th and
Sixth; Chicken Guy/Halal Chicken on 53rd and Sixth and
many others). Most carts serve lunch (from about 11AM to 5 or 6PM
in the evening) and disappear after dark, so look for a cart near
you, smell what's cooking, and enjoy a hot and often tasty lunch
for a few dollars (a meal costs anywhere from about $2 to $8).
Mornings, from about 6AM to 10AM, the streets are dotted with
coffee carts that sell coffee, croissants, bagels, and danish
pastries and are good for a cheap breakfast: small coffee and bagel
for a dollar or so. Other street vendors sell italian
ices, ice cream, and roasted peanuts. Also,
look around for the coffee truck (often found in Union Square),
dessert truck, as well as Belgian waffle truck that roam around the
city.
Do It Yourself
New York's many markets and grocery stores make preparing your
own food interesting and easy.

) or buy ready to eat
foods such as burritos, tacos, curries and rice, lasagna, pastas,
pre-prepared or freshly-made sandwiches, and many other types of
foods.

Most supermarkets
have Thai, Chinese, and Indian sauces to add flavor to your pot,
and many, especially in upper Manhattan, have the ingredients
necessary for a Mexican or Central American meal, but go to
Chinatown for the best Chinese
ingredients, Little India in Murray Hill for Indian ingredients,
Flushing for
all things Chinese or Korean, Jackson Heights for Peruvian,
Ecuadorian, and Indian, Flatbush and Crown Heights for Jamaican,
Williamsburg for Kosher. Ask around for where you can get your
favorite ethnic ingredients and you'll find traveling around in
local neighborhoods a rewarding experience. There is also a Trader
Joe's at Union Square for cheap but delicious supermarket buys.
Drink
The only thing about New York City that changes faster than the
subway map or the restaurants is the bar scene. While some
established watering holes have been around for decades or
centuries, the hot spot of the moment may well have opened last
week and could likely close just as quickly.

Greenwich Village is probably the classic destination to go out
if you are in town for just a brief period- it is the equivalent
somewhat of a Latin Quarter- full of students, locals, and people
of all ages. There is a vast density of bars around Bleecker Street
and MacDougal, also near lower Seventh and Sixth Avenues.
Chelsea has lots of clubs and a thriving gay scene along Eighth
Avenue in the twenties--which is not to say every bar in Chelsea is
gay (far from it, there is a mix, just like everywhere else in
NYC). West Chelsea (27th-29th streets, west of 10th avenue) is
loaded with clubs- if you are European and looking for a
discotheque, this is where you want to be.
The Meatpacking District has the trendier bars and clubs and
some expensive restaurants too- check out the Old Homestead- NYC's
oldest steakhouse. Located around 14th street and 9th avenues- this
area is located between Greenwich Village and Chelsea
The Lower East Side used to be the dingy alternative to the West
Village, but today is probably considered trendier. Ludlow Street
is crawling with bars in an area that may remind you of the
Bastille in Paris. Rivington and Stanton Street are also viable
options.
The East Village has lots of bars located on second avenue-
there is also a sizeable cluster of Japanese bars (which are great
fun) located on St. Mark's between 2nd and 3rd.
Past the East Vilage is Alphabet City- once a dangerous drug
addled hell hole, today loaded with bars.... heroin dens have been
replaced with brunch places!
Murray Hill is more hip with the 30 year old crowd- the area
around 29th and Lex has loads of Indian restaurants, but within
three blocks there are tons of watering holes, including a couple
of fireman bars and an all Irish whiskey pub.
Times Square is just not where you want to go out. Sorry
tourists from the other 49 states.
Williamsburg in Brooklyn, has loads of bars along Bedford
Avenue, one stop into Brooklyn on the L train. This is the capital
of NYC's hipster scene- if you like pale boys with tight jeans and
no job this is the place for you.
Woodside in Queens (few stops on the 7 train) is great for happy
hour and pre Met game drinking festivities- there is a sizeable
amount of Irish pubs by the Woodside train station (10 min from
Times Square on the 7 train). In summer you should check out
Queens' Bohemian Hall Beer Garden in the adjacent neighborhood,
Astoria (25 minutes from Times Square on the N/W, get off at Hoyt
Ave) which is an entire city block, walled, filled with trees,
tables and a cool crowd, given over to Czech and German beer.
Bay Ridge in Brooklyn has more bars than any neighborhood in the
city outside of Manhattan- and more bars than most Manhattan
neighborhoods!

Park Slope in Brooklyn is the yuppie capital of New York and you
are more likely to find a tea house serving soy milk than a bar at
this point, lots of nightlife, low key however. A number of lesbian
bars are located around Park Slope. For more specific suggestions,
see the relevant district pages.
St. George in Staten Island has a few bars located south of the
ferry terminal, make a left when you leave the boat. Tourists take
the trip on the ferry every year and never get off- look for live
music at the Cargo Cafe or Karl's Klipper, both located on Bay
Street w/ phenomenal views of the Verrazano Bridge.
The Marriot Marquis has a lovely revolving bar on the 50th floor
(broadway & 45th), the Peninsula hotel (5th avenue near fifty
fifth) has probably the classiest rooftop bar in New York. The
Rainbow Room, which is often closed and has a dress code, is at
Rockefeller Center. The Hotel Metro on 35th and 5th also has a
rooftop bar with fantastic, stress free, views of the Empire State
Building.
Last call is 4AM although many establishments will let you stay
beyond that (especially in the boroughs). It is not uncommon to be
locked in a bar after 4AM so people can keep drinking. Tip your
bartender well and buy backs happen- especially in the boroughs.
Wine and liquor is not sold at delis or supermarkets- that Chateau
Diana wine at the delis is not what people in New York drink, I am
not sure if it is even wine. You have to go to a Liquor Store- if
you are staying in midtown these are located along 8th avenue. The
cheapest liquor store in Manhattan is on Broadway and 8th street.
Beer cannot be bought between 4AM and 8AM on Sunday morning
(although if you look hard, you can get around this... but you
should probably just call it quits at that point).
Keep in mind that like most of the US, the legal drinking age is
21. Even if you're over 21, make sure to keep your drivers license
(sufficient for US & Canadian citizens) or passport (sufficient
for everyone else) on hand. Especially in touristy neighborhoods,
it's not uncommon to be asked to prove your age as a matter of
policy- even at a restaurant. Outside of the touristy areas, and
especially in Brooklyn, people tend to be more relaxed.

In the
mid-range and splurge hotels, it often pays to ask for a corporate
rate. Most rooms below $ 200 in Manhattan are small with room for a
bed, a tv and little else. Be warned that the quality of hotels
varies a lot and, in many cheap hotels away from the center (along
the West Side Highway, or in the outer reaches of Queens) you may
share the premises with hourly customers!
Taxes Room rates are typically quoted without
taxes so expect your actual bill to be quite a bit higher than the
quoted rate. Taxes include New York State and New York City sales
tax (8.875 %), a New York City Hotel Occupancy Tax (varies
but, for rooms above $ 40, $ 2 + 5.875 %), and a surcharge of
$ 1.50. For a $ 100 a night room, expect to pay $ 117.75.
Alternatives to Manhattan Accommodations It's
worth keeping in mind that you don't have to stay within New York
City for your stay in New York. Just over the Hudson river in New
Jersey there are some cheaper hotels, and Manhattan is easily
accessible by a short ferry ride (about 15 minutes) if you're
staying by the river, by train, by bus, or by a more expensive cab
ride. However, public transit to and from New Jersey does not run
as often as transportation within New York, especially after
midnight. But a much better alternative than New Jeresey is Queens,
more specifically Long Island City. There are 10-15 mid-range (you
can probably sleep for $50) and clean and safe hotels in the region
just across the Queensborough (59th Street) Bridge from Manhattan.

Take advantage of it! And the subway runs all night so you can go
out in Manhattan and come back at any time.
Airport hotels serving Newark Airport are inexpensive ($ 50+
booked online; $ 69 walk in). Multiple transfers (airport shuttle
to airport; #62 to Penn Station; PATH train to the city) are
required, and services are of low frequency. Expect 1.5 to 2 hours
each way from your Newark airport hotel to Manhattan.
Resist the temptation to stay in New Jersey- unless you are on
the PATH train and have no qualms with public transit. Taking a cab
to Jersey can be difficult- at times the bridges and tunnels to New
Jersey are impassable due to traffic.

New Yorkers love showing off their city and
understand what local hotels cost. Taking an old friend out to
dinner one night as a thank you is far more economical than a
hotel- and you will see a real take on New York as opposed to the
fake Times Square New York that tourists see on tv.

[118]. Wireless is
available in city parks and quite a few public libraries. The Apple
store has dozens of computers setup and doesn't seem to mind that
many people use them for free internet access, but they can be
pretty busy at times. Easy Internet Cafe and FedEx Kinkos are just
some of the internet cafes which offer broadband internet at
reasonable prices. Finding a store with an open power outlet may be
difficult.
Public phones are found all over the city so carry quarters if
you plan to use them. Remember to include the 1 and area code when
dialing, as 11-digit dialing is in effect.

In fact, the crime rate in New York is now below the
average crime rate for the nation as a whole, and the city is
statistically much safer than other popular tourist destinations
like Orlando or Las Vegas. While it is unlikely that you will be a
victim of a crime while in the city, it is best to always keep your
property with you, exercise care if you find yourself on a lightly
traveled or poorly-lit street, and always be aware of your
surroundings.
The most common crime against tourists (not including being
overcharged!) is bag snatching, and it is easy to reduce the
possibility of this happening. Never let go of your bag, especially
in the subway but also when eating at a restaurant (take special
care if sitting outdoors or in a crowded self-service restaurant).
Leave your passport and other valuables in a hotel safe (or
squirrel it away in your suitcase) and don't flaunt a wad of
dollars.
While it is rare for a tourist to be a victim of a violent
crime, muggings do take place in the city. Stick to crowded streets
and that won't happen. When walking in Manhattan, the best way to
get to your destination is to walk up or down an avenue to a point
as close to your destination as possible. Riverside Park and
Central Park can be dangerous at night, so unless you know what
you're doing, don't go at night. (If you go to an evening concert
at Central Park, Prospect Park, et al., follow the crowd out of the
park before heading toward your destination.)
If you think you've inadvertently wandered into a dangerous
area, hop into a cab (if available) or into the nearest subway
station and go elsewhere. If a subway platform is deserted, stay
within sight of the token booth. (Subway stations have well marked
"off hour waiting areas" but these are mostly a throwback to the
dangerous times of the mid-80s. Subway crime is a rarity these
days.)
New York has its share of odd people: talkative pan-handlers,
lonely people just wanting a chat, people with psychological
disorders, etc. If someone approaches you for a chat, do what most
New Yorkers do: completely ignore them or say "Sorry, gotta go"
while continuing to walk at a brisk pace.
The Stereo Types of New Yorkers that you may see on television
or hear about is to simply be ignored; they are generally nice
people and they tend to keep to themselves and don't mind giving
out directions so don't be afraid to ask if need be. If you ever
get into trouble, approach the nearest police officer. There are
plenty of them around, especially in tourist areas, and you'll find
them to be friendly, polite, and very helpful.

Smoke?
Smoking in public places is highly restricted. It is prohibited
in indoor sections of bars, restaurants, subway stations and
trains, both indoor and outdoor stadiums and sports arenas in the
city, and many other public places. If you light up in any of these
places, you may be subjected to a summons and fine, ejection,
and/or indignant reactions from residents. There do remain a small
number of legal cigar bars that are exempt, as are the outside
areas of sidewalk cafes and the like, but these are very much the
exception. If you need to smoke while eating or drinking, be
prepared to take a break and join the rest of the smokers outside
in the weather (many establishments have large space heaters).
Drinking alcoholic beverages on the street is illegal, so bars will
not let you take your drink outside with you.
Get out
Locals would ask why you ever wanted to leave, but the truth is
that New York is a great jumping-off point for a visit to other
locations in the
metro area (including
New Jersey and
Connecticut), or
anywhere in the
Boston-
Washington
corridor.
- Long
Island— When you travel to NYC in the summer, a great
idea is to check out Long Island. With its beautiful long white
sanded beaches you can have it all: the big city and the summer
holiday. Many New Yorkers do that every Friday, Saturday and Sunday
if it is hot. Take the Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station to
Long Beach ($6.75 one way) and from there go south to the beach
itself. Take a day trip on the Hampton Jitney from various stops in
NYC to the East End. Long Island Wine Country is on the North Fork,
and The Hamptons are on the South Fork.
- Fire
Island - An all pedestrian summer resort island
located off the coast of Long Island. Fire Island is home to many
vacation communities on the western part of the island (Ocean Beach
being the most populous, with the most restaurants and bars that
make an excellent day trip). The eastern part of the island is home
to the largely gay communities of Cherry Grove and the Fire Island
Pines. Western Fire Island is reachable by ferry from Bay Shore on
Long Island. Bay Shore is about an hour train ride on the Long
Island Railroad from Manhattan, and the ferry ride from Bay Shore
is another thirty minutes. Ferries to Ocean Beach from Bay Shore
run about once every hour during the summer. Cherry Grove and the
Fire Island Pines are reachable by ferry from Sayville. The
easternmost community, Davis Park, is reachable by ferry from
Patchogue.
- Jersey
City, New Jersey- Directly across the Hudson River
from lower Manhattan is New Jersey's second largest city. Jersey
City is a diverse city with lots of multicultural shops and
restaurants. It can be reached from Manhattan via the Holland
Tunnel or the PATH trains (the bi-state subway)
- Hoboken, New
Jersey-Directly across the Hudson river from the West
Village and Chelsea is the alleged birthplace of baseball (most
erroneously believe that the birthplace is Cooperstown, NY) and
actual birthplace of Frank Sinatra. Hoboken is a small city in area
with a great assortment of prewar buildings and conspicuous lack of
many corporate establishments. Piers; great views of Manhattan;
large selection of bars, restaurants, and clubs; good place to walk
around. It can be reached from Manhattan via PATH trains and buses
from Port Authority as well as NY Waterway ferries.
- The Palisades- On the western bank of
the Hudson river, there are cliffs that rise sharply. These cliffs
are known as the majestic Palisades. They range from 300 to 500
feet. They start in the Northern portion of Jersey City, New Jersey
and stretch all the way to Nyack, New York. There are numerous
viewpoints, trails and camp sites located along the Palisades. The
palisades can be easily reached from Manhattan via the George
Washington Bridge. Palisade Interstate Parks start north of the
Bridge.
- Jersey
Shore, New Jersey- Just a few miles south of New York
City, the Jersey shore starts. The Jersey shore stretches for about
127 miles and along it are private and public beaches. There are
numerous activities along the Jersey Shore. A convenient train ride
on the NJ Transit trains from Penn Station will get you to several
of the towns on the Jersey Shore, including Manasquan and Point
Pleasant Beach.
- Westchester - Home to the
country's only government-operated theme park as well as beautiful
neighborhoods. It is located north of the Bronx in a lovely
mountainous setting and is a 30 minute train ride from Grand
Central taking the Metro North Railroad, where you can get off at
one of the many quaint towns - Tarrytown, White Plains, Mount
Kisco, Rye, etc.
- Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson, New
Jersey- Just an 80-minute drive from Manhattan sits the
largest regional theme park in the world. Six Flags Great Adventure
features 12 monster roller coasters and is located right next to
the Wild Safari (one of the largest drive through safaris in the
world). There is also Six Flags Hurricane Harbor just right next
door (the largest water park in the North East). New Jersey Transit
also provides bus service from the Port Authority when the park is
open (May-October).
- Princeton,
New Jersey-
Also an easy train ride on New Jersey Transit, Princeton offers a
quiet and tree-lined, if boring, town good for strolling or
visiting the Princeton University campus. Take the Northeast
Corridor line to Princeton Junction, then transfer on to the
shuttle train (known locally as the "Dinky") to ride directly into
campus.
- New Haven,
Connecticut— Just 65 miles away,
New Haven is a 1 hour 45
minute ride from Grand Central via Metro North Railroad, and home
to Yale University.
