Dear Reader,
Welcome to our city! Be prepared for a unique experience.
You may have heard that New York is a rude, even cold place. But take it from this city kid that nothing could be further from the truth in the local dialect, fuggedaboudit. With all the people around, New Yorkers respect your privacy. But pierce that veil, and a local who has the time will go out of their way to help you. We want you to have a good time, be impressed, and carry away that positive impression.
New York is in a per petual state of change. The wonderful thing about our cit y is that it keeps renewing it self. New York has a way of making what's old new again and what's new a welcome part of New York life.
The sheer desire to experience new sensations and absorb the latest fad in a mad dash to reward busy lives and hard work forces this city to renew itself with increasing speed and agility. That's what makes it the center of the world for me.
There is more than a lifetime of interesting things to do in the Big Apple because New York has eight million of its own to please. No matter what excites you and your family, you will find it here, usually in multiples. Don't be afraid to experiment, to ask, to lose yourselves. And don't be intimidated. New York isn't called Fun City for nothing. Really, Omnotkidden!
The handy, accessible books in this series give you all you need to tackle a difficult project, gain a new hobby, or even brush up on something you learned back in school but have since forgotten. You can read cover to cover or just pick out information from the four useful boxes.
TRAVEL TIP
Quick, handy tips
RAINY DAY FUN
Plan ahead for fun without sun
FAST FACT
Details to make your trip more enjoyable
JUST FOR PARENTS
Appealing information for moms and dads
When you're done reading, you can finally say you knowEVERYTHING!

This book is dedicated to the eight million individuals who give New York its heart and soul and make it the greatest city in the world. I especially dedicate it to those New Yorkers who are closest to me Mindy, Joanna, Jason, and Alison my family.
Take the family to Times Square, ride in the Toys 
Us Ferris Wheel, take in a Broadway show, and buy T-shirts afterward.
Go to the top of the Empire State Building and ride the Skyride.
Take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and visit the Tenement Museum and Katz's Deli on the way back.
Spend a day in Central Park. Take pictures at the Alice in Wonderland and Balto statues, ride the carousel, float a wooden boat, ride a hansom cab, and eat lunch at Tavern on the Green.
Go to the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Have a meal in Chinatown and stroll the streets examining the trinkets.
Go shopping at Macy's or Bloomingdale's, in Greenwich Village, or along Fifth or Madison avenues.
Catch a professional sports game.
In the wintertime, go ice skating at the rink at Rockefeller Center or at least have lunch at the Rock Center Caf and watch New Yorkers skate. Get up early on Thanksgiving morning, bundle up, and get a good spot on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade route (usually along the Upper West Side).
Splurge and take one of the ten-minute helicopter rides over lower Manhattan.
I wrote this book on the shoulders of two other New Yorkers. Richard Mintzer laid the foundation with the excellent first edition. Lori Perkins continued with the task of wrestling the tumultuous energy of the Big Apple between two covers. It was now my turn.
As big as it is, New York is a city with a human dimension. I depended on the kindness of strangers as I spoke with literally hundreds of unsung workers in the hospitality industry who man the telephones, computers, and desks of hotels, restaurants, attractions, airports, train stations, and tourist offices. Members of NYC & Company, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the Mayor's Office, maitre d's, tourist guides, park rangers every single one reaffirmed my belief that New Yorkers are the greatest people in the world.
Two big thanks to my editors Lisa Laing and Elizabeth Kassab and to my agent June Clark for their patience, understanding, and generosity, helping me during an extended period of illness. I have never met such wonderful people in forty years in the business.
And finally, my son Jason, a third-generation New Yorker with the pulse of the city in his veins. Thanks, Jason, for the nights you roamed the streets with a cell phone in hand reporting on the activity and for the miles of city concrete you covered on your bike helping out the old man.
