New York, NY + Add a trip

Walk over the Willamsburg bridge from Delancey St and do brunch in South Williamsburg.

The Cloisters

grab a copy of Time Out New York - or visit 'em, online - and see what's happening AWAY from Times Square and the "tourist destinations"

Take the Staten Island Ferry at lunchtime... and pack a lunch from the Amish Market next to Battery Park. Best (free) views of the Harbor and the Statue of Liberty, and a relaxing hour (30 minutes each way) on the waterfront.

Visit the New York Transit Museum!

see a show or have lunch or dinner in the meatpacking district (summer and spring is the best time to go.)

Summer: Spend the day in Central Park or Battery Park City (look at the various activities beforehand, music, outdoors cinema) - As a tourist Go to the beach (all New Yorkers do) - get a ticket on the Long Island Railroad and go to Jones Beach, Long Beach or Fire Island

Winter: Dress warmly, rent a bike and take a ride by the Husdon river toward Battery Park City. On Saturday, go to visit many of the Chelsea galleries, followed by brunch

Any season: go to Chinatown for a Din Sum lunch

Take your cocktails with some culture at a Friday-late-opening gallery or museum. Spend Saturday coffee-hopping and boutiqueing all over Soho, Nolita and the lower east side, culminating in dinner at Public on Elizabeth. Then pick up a six-pack or a bottle of wine and get in line at Small's for some totally authentic, all-night jazz. Head over to Brooklyn for a destination brunch on Bedford Ave, Smith St or 5th Avenue and mooch away the last few hours of the weekend in the hood.

Taking a walk over the Brooklyn bridge and visiting the old Brooklyn area, I still think it's one of the best parts of the city...also, you'llget a fantastic view of manhattan island from there.

Amazing reviews... Thank you one and all..

Go see Chicago The Musical! Chicago tells the universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz! The show is a true New York institution. For more information, visit www.chicagothemusical.com!
