New York City At a glance
Eating

From street food to haute cuisine, its here, its excellent and its in abundance. Chinatown is most accessible for ethnic eats. The Lower East Side , traditional home to Jewish food, now teems with fashionable restaurants, while the East Village is the locus for great late-night eats bowls of ramen, slices of pizza and hot dogs. Continue up to Midtown for powerhouse names like Aquavit and Oyster Bar , one of the citys quintessential eateries. Further north, Harlem has fabulous soul food, barbecue and African restaurants. Queens Astoria has great international spots, and Brooklyn s Williamsburg and Carroll Gardens are packed with voguish options.

Drinking

Bars are everywhere and come in every stripe: pubs, dives, beer gardens, hidden speakeasies, exclusive hotel lounges. Drinkers descend on the Lower East Side and East Village , especially streets like Ludlow and Avenue A, which can seem like a carnival but are good destinations nonetheless. Rocker hangouts and swanky wine bars also hover around Union Square , and Ninth Avenue , starting in Chelsea and moving up to Hells Kitchen . The most exciting and characterful places are in the outer boroughs, specifically Long Island City and Williamsburg . Most bars and pubs are typically open till the wee hours of morning.

Nightlife

Clubbing hotspots jump around: the lower western edge of Soho one year, 27th Street in the far west of Chelsea another. The East and West Villages always offer a few standbys, and the Meatpacking District can be good if youre looking for busy places to put on your dancing shoes. Keep your ears open, get current listings magazines and generally aim downtown. Music venues are more established: the West Village and Harlem have historic venues for jazz; Lincoln Center holds top spots for classical music, dance and opera, with Carnegie Hall just a few blocks away; and the coolest rock clubs are mostly in Williamsburg and the Lower East Side .

Shopping

For big-ticket retail, look no further than Midtown, specifically Fifth Avenue , where Saks, Bergdorf Goodman and many others congregate. Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side also has its share of famous brands. Somewhat edgier fashion can be found in Soho and Nolita : Prince and Spring streets are crammed with designer boutiques and hip jewellery and shoe shops. Those looking for vintage duds or the truly avant-garde might find the Lower East Side and Williamsburg more suitable. Antique hunters will have fun trolling around Chelsea and on weekends, the Hells Kitchen Flea Market .

Our recommendations on where to eat, drink and shop are listed at the end of each places chapter.
