AN IMPORTANT NOTE
The world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and busses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about, these hotels, restaurants, museums and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.

A Look at New York City
N ew York City vies with London and Paris in the variety of its attractions and the massive number of its cultural activities. It comes as close to being an indispensable visit as any other city both here or abroad. And what you come to see and experience are not only the big lures that everyone namesthe Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the U.N. and Wall Street, the Broadway theatres and the Radio City Music Hallbut also hundreds of fascinating stores and workshops, exhibits, outlets, and clubs that attract the most enterprising and talented of our nation's most ambitious citizens. As the song goes, "If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere. The author of our Easy Guide to New York City, my daughter Pauline, has singled out the most fascinating of these smaller attractions so that you, the reader, can have not simply a touristic experience but possibly a life-changing one. Have a great trip!
Arthur Frommer
New York City has some of the worst traffic in the nation, so take a subway! (See for more on that.)
Downtown
In 1987, artist Arturo di Modica surprised the city by placing his massive Charging Bull sculpture in front of the New York Stock Exchange in the middle of the night. It was eventually moved to its current location in Bowling Green Park (), and has become one of the citys icons. To this day its owned by the artist, not the city of New York.
Names cut into the rim of the 9/11 Memorial fountains () remember those who died that day. Behind them looms the new One World Trade Center, the United States tallest building.
Leafy, serene residential streets, lined by brownstones, make up much of Greenwich Village ().
Look up: Ornate downtown fire escapes were made by 19th-century Italian immigrant artisans, trained on Old World palazzos and churches.
Kooky dcor and cheap, tasty Indian food have drawn diners to the East Village for decades. See .
Washington Square Arch and Park ().
Some 1 million people attend Little Italys Feast of San Gennaro, a raucous 10-day street festival thats held each September.
In a city where too much of the past gets bulldozed, Katz has been dishing up pastrami, salami, corned beef and other diet-busting treats on the Lower East Side since 1888. See .
Gruesome-looking but delicious smoked ducks hang in the windows of a number of Chinatown restaurants, including one we love. See our review of New York Noodletown on .
Midtown
The frenetic energy of the commuters who dash through Grand Central Terminal is counterbalanced by the soaring majesty of this Beaux Arts structure. At the center of the busy lobby is a clock valued in the tens of millions of dollars, its four faces covered not by glass but solid precious opal. See for info on tours of the station.
At the height of the Great Depression, some 75,000 people were blessed with gainful employment, creating the city within a city known as Rockefeller Center (). It is one of the greatest feats of urban developments in history: 12 acres upon which stand 14 Art Deco limestone skyscrapers, each enhanced by superb works of art, like this seven-ton bronze sculpture of Atlas.
