New York City is one of the most popular destinations for travel and tourism in the continental United States. Often referred to as “the greatest city in the world”, New York is home to some of the most diverse cultural centers and experiences to be found. With so many options, it’s easy for visitors to the Big Apple to feel overwhelmed. If one has only so many days to experience NYC, how should they be spent?
Here are 5 tops from a NYC native for how to make the most of your trip to New York City.
Tip #1 - Timing is Everything
New York is an exciting city, with a new photo opportunity on every corner. Areas like Times Square and the Theatre District are home to some of the most well-known images of NYC. While they feature some of the finest NYC hotels, they are also home to a large population of working New Yorkers, and are located very close to a major NYC transportation center (The Port Authority). Wandering these sidewalks and taking photographs is best done after 10AM and before 4:30PM, outside of city “rush hours”. Lingering too long on a sidewalk during rush hours is a good way to get swept up in the current of people walking to or from their places of employment, and possibly elbowed out of the way. While most New Yorkers are happy to have a thriving tourism industry, tourists must also respect the fact that not everyone is on vacation today.
Tip #2 - Learn and Use New York’s Public Transportation Systems
New York City traffic is a strange beast that can transform your 3-block travel route into a 2-hour standstill. All vehicles navigating the gridmap streets of NYC are subject to these traffic jams, including the famous yellow taxi cabs. To avoid spending your vacation sitting in the back of a cab, consider walking to your destination or utilize NYC’s subway system. Most New York City residents do not own cars, since the NYC Subway is the largest rapid transit system in the world. Metro cards are inexpensive, compared to other major cities, and grant you access to almost anywhere you may want to visit while exploring the Big Apple.
Tip #3 - Dress for the Seasons
Although New York City is geographically located in a temperate part of the US, the actual topography of the city can make for some unpredictable and extreme weather conditions. Like in many big cities, the presence of tightly-grouped tall buildings can turn a blustery day into a gust of wind that will turn your umbrella inside out. In the winter months, this has a compounding effect on the windchill factor of the local weather. In summer, the large amount of paved and developed land in New York City gives the heat and sunlight few paths of escape. Even though NYC is on the water, areas in-land can get quite warm with so much concrete and steel for the heat to bounce off of. When planning your vacation to NYC, make sure to pack for every weather contingency possible for the season you’ll be there during.
Tip #4 - Leave Unplanned Days to Explore NYC
While there may be an abundance of guided tours and planned outings available in New York City, some of your most memorable experiences may come by surprise. In between the tours and attractions, set aside at least one day to explore without a set route. Although Manhattan may be the city’s most popular borough, travelers should not discount the outer boroughs like Queens and Brooklyn. Stepping outside of the NYC “movie set” and wandering the side streets is a wonderful way to experience the real New York.
Tip #5 - Eat Well
Food should be its own line item on your travel itinerary, since New York City is home to some of the top restaurants and chefs in the world. On the opposite side of the ambiance spectrum, NYC street food vendors are a staple of New York food culture, serving up everything from hotdogs and pretzels to gyros and doughnuts. A little pre-trip research will yield a list of NYC restaurants that will provide a once in a lifetime dining experience, regardless of your choice of cuisine or dietary restrictions.

Guess what? I got fired after 40 years of good eats. Photo: Dan and Rita Wynn
Gael Greene, the brand name of restaurant journalism for 40 years at New York magazine has been fired by the magazine, effective immediately. The magazine gave her one last hurrah with a coverline on “The Most Important Restaurants in 40 Years” in its 40th anniversary issue October 6, 2008, and said goodbye six weeks later.
“I describe it as cutting off your nose to spite your face,” Greene said.
At her premature “retirement” Greene was no longer the weekly critic, having asked to be replaced in 2000, setting off an 18-month search for a replacement that brought on Adam Platt in January 2002. She remained on the masthead as a contributing editor to write her weekly column, “Insatiable Critic.”
She also created a virtual restaurant magazine of her own at www.InsatiableCritic.com.
In her role as restaurant critic, Greene helped change the way New Yorkers (and many Americans) think about food. A scholarly anthropologist could trace the evolution of New York restaurants from the early awakening in the 1970s on a timeline that would reflect her passions and taste over 30 years from Le Pavillon to nouvelle cuisine to couturier pizzas, pastas and hot fudge sundaes, to more healthful eating.
Tapped by founder Clay Felker to be the restaurant critic just months after the pioneering city magazine’s launch and competing against the Times beloved and powerful Craig Claiborne, Greene decided not to rip into any Claiborne favorites like La Caravelle or Le Grenouille. Instead, she chose to dissect the brand new Ground Floor in the CBS building on Sixth Avenue. “Paley’s Preserve,” appeared November 11, 1968, and she writes, “I found my voice.”
“The Ground Floor is, above all, appropriately grand. It is slick, rich, calculated, spare, intimidating. It is Contemporary Wasp. You would hate to break open a roll for fear it would scatter unprogrammed crumbs. It is understatedly snob. The Ground Floor is a perfect room to end an affair in….”
“Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Ice Cream But Were Too Fat To Ask,” “The Mafia Guide to Dining Out,” “The Menu Rap and How to Beat It,” and “Nobody Knows the Truffles I’ve Seen” were early pieces that inspired foodies before foodie was a word. In later years, her annual roundup of New York City’s dining favorites, “Ask Gael,” was a gourmand’s collectible.
As co-founder 27 years ago with James Beard and an ongoing force behind Citymeals-on-Wheels as board chair, Ms. Greene continues her commitment to help feed the city’s homebound elderly. She has devoted as many hours to fund-raising in recent years as she does to writing. Citymeals, the largest public/private partnership in the country, has delivered more than 40 million meals to frail needy neighbors no longer able to shop or cook for themselves. The exceptional support of the food and restaurant community to the city’s elderly shut-ins has been an essential factor in the success of this effort from the very first fundraising weekend 27 Christmases ago.

Eating Out for Cheap in New York
Filed Under Restaurant | Leave a Comment
Dining on the cheap in New York City isn’t nearly as hard as you may thing it is. New York is a city of many nations in that there are probably more nations represented in the dining options of New York than any other city in the world. You can find wonderful food options that represent these many nations and won’t break your wallet. What a wonderful way to literally enjoy the flavors of the world while on vacation!
Rainbow Falafel is the first place I recommend. This may very well be the best falafel shop (if you can call it that) in New York City. If you’ve never tried falafel you are definitely in for a tasty treat. Falafel is essentially a ball of veggies and spices (chick peas, onions, garlic, and other goodies) that has been fried and placed into a pita along with tomato, hummus, lettuce, and yogurt. Getting hungry? We’ve only just begun.
Gray’s Papaya offers the best hot dogs in the city, particularly when you consider the fact that it is hard to mess up hot dogs, especially when that’s all you do for the price. The price in fact is what keeps packing the clientele in by the droves. Where else in New York can you get two hot dogs and a drink for two dollars? Be warned however that the décor and atmosphere are about what you’d expect in a restaurant that charged two bucks for the average meal and don’t expect a Jimmy Buffet type of atmosphere with umbrella drinks and neon colors.
For hoagies of heroic or would that be epic proportions you really must try Tony Luke’s. The décor is simple and the service is quick. You won’t find a huge menu or massive variety of specialty breads or carb friendly diet options here (there are some items but not a massive selection). What you will get are mammoth sandwiches with lots of meat and perhaps a side of cheese fries and a soda to wash it down with. The food is good and the price is right making this one of the best cheap places to eat in the city.
Whether you refer to it as southern fare or soul food, the Soul Spot has it going on. They offer many of the traditional Sunday dinner types of foods such as fried catfish, fried chicken, and vegetables dripping in ‘drippings’ for those willing to risk the impending heart attack. This food is certainly and fabulous example of the culinary delights one would experience in the south while also being offered at a price that is comparable to what you would pay on a Mississippi Sunday afternoon. They do offer a lunch menu that is a little bit less expensive than the dinner menu and either offers a great value for the money.
Schnack is another institution of inexpensive dining excellence in the great big city of New York. If you have a Krystal’s or a White Castle in your area then you’ll get the concept of “Schnackies” which are very much like the burgers you’ll find in the joints I’ve mentioned above. Be assured however that you also have other choices if the cheap little burgers aren’t really your thing. If you make it in before 5 PM you can have eggs almost anyway you can think of having them and if you have the time and the room you really should try Harry’s Famous Warm Chocolate and Banana Bread Pudding. My mouth is watering from just thinking about it.
The point to all of this, other than getting you good and hungry was to let you know that despite its reputation for being an expensive place to visit, if you know where to look you can not only find cheap entertainment but also cheap food. You can enjoy the best that New York City has to offer without breaking your budget. And cheap isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Is it true that people in the east coast (like New York) celebrate the holidays (like Christmas) more?
Filed Under General | 5 Comments
I heard that people in the east coast celebrate the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) most? Is it true? Does this mean the people in New York celebrate the most for Christmas due to nice decorations, snowing, and people being joyful?
My cousin lives in California in the Bay Area (she lives in the area where the majority population is Asian) and she says there’s barely anything exciting around the holidays and the people around her don’t seem to enjoy or celebrate the holidays at all.
So to those east coast people (especially the ones in New York) out there, do you guys always enjoy or celebrate the holidays?

Hello everyone! I’m flying out to New York for New Year’s Eve with my fiance. It will be our first trip to the east coast so I wanted some advice about New York city life. We’re staying a couple of miles away from Times Square in Manhattan.

Happy holidays all!

Steakhouse New York to Tickle the Taste Buds of Steak Lovers
Filed Under Restaurant | Leave a Comment
People who love eating good food put great emphasis on eating properly cooked food. Steakhouse is the best place where steak lovers can indulge in their taste buds. It is a source of real delight for people who simply love their steak. If you are a resident of New York, then you have several options in hand to choose one of the best steakhouse in New York. Steakhouse is a great source for you to enjoy with your friends and family.
A steak lover somehow or the other manages to find out the best steakhouse in the city where they are residing or shifted to a new place. At first finding out a good steakhouse may seem difficult to you, but once you come in touch with a steak lover, you are bound to find out the best steakhouse. Steak lovers have an amazing capacity of collecting knowledge and information about steakhouses in any place and a steakhouse in New York is no exception to this for people who love steak.
Most steakhouses have all the provisions to cater to all the needs of steak lovers. They really want that their steak should be cooked in just the way they like to eat it. The taste of steak varies largely depending on the degree of its cooking. Some people love their steak that’s cooked well; while some prefer medium cooked others swear by rare cooked steak. Rare cooked steak is loved by steak lovers who really know how to eat and enjoy their steak.
Many people simply detest rare cooked steak. They feel that since the rare cooked steak meat has blood retention in it, the steak is unhealthy to be consumed. But steak lovers argue that it is this fluid retention that makes the steak all the more tasty to eat. Well, you can hardly argue with a steak lover and if he loves to eat his steak cooked in particular way then he will find out a steakhouse that serves the kind of steak that he loves to eat.
Steakhouse is not all about eating meat and potatoes. There are several steakhouses in NYC that have provisions to host private parties. In fact there are several steakhouses that keep aside certain days in a week to host private parties for friends and family. If you want to organize any such party to celebrate any special occasion, then just make sure that you do this flawlessly and give your family and friends one of the best steakhouse parties they have had.
Booking in advance for a dinner or lunch is a good option for you. It may happen that when you go to a steakhouse, you may find that all the tables are filled up. So advance booking helps you to tackle this. Weekend always witnesses a heavy rush of customers and you can also enjoy you eating out session without any hassles just because you have booked in advance. Go to the steakhouse and order the steak cooked in just the way you like to have it.

At first finding out a good steakhouse may seem difficult to you, but once you come in touch with a steak lover, you are bound to find out the best steakhouse. Steak lovers have an amazing capacity of collecting knowledge and information about steakhouses in any place and a steakhouse in New York is no exception to this for people who love steak.
Most steakhouses have all the provisions to cater to all the needs of steak lovers. They really want that their steak should be cooked in just the way they like to eat it. The taste of steak varies largely depending on the degree of its cooking. Some people love their steak that’s cooked well; while some prefer medium cooked others swear by rare cooked steak. Rare cooked steak is loved by steak lovers who really know how to eat and enjoy their steak.
Many people simply detest rare cooked steak. They feel that since the rare cooked steak meat has blood retention in it, the steak is unhealthy to be consumed. But steak lovers argue that it is this fluid retention that makes the steak all the more tasty to eat. Well, you can hardly argue with a steak lover and if he loves to eat his steak cooked in particular way then he will find out a steakhouse that serves the kind of steak that he loves to eat.
Steakhouse is not all about eating meat and potatoes. There are several steakhouses in NYC that have provisions to host private parties. In fact there are several steakhouses that keep aside certain days in a week to host private parties for friends and family. If you want to organize any such party to celebrate any special occasion, then just make sure that you do this flawlessly and give your family and friends one of the best steakhouse parties they have had.
Booking in advance for a dinner or lunch is a good option for you. It may happen that when you go to a steakhouse, you may find that all the tables are filled up. So advance booking helps you to tackle this. Weekend always witnesses a heavy rush of customers and you can also enjoy you eating out session without any hassles just because you have booked in advance. Go to the steakhouse and order the steak cooked in just the way you like to have it.
