About New York

New York, New York, so nice they named it twice. While pleasant, these familiar lines don't seem to do justice to a living, breathing metropolis like New York City -- a place that, every day, seems to lend itself to bolder and bolder superlatives. The Big Apple certainly lives up to the fanfare it receives as the largest US city, and it promises a never ending assortment of first class entertainment, dining, shopping and cultural opportunities. On any given week -- and really, there is no bad time to visit -- thousands of visitors flock to see NYC's iconic attractions: the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Times Square, stroll through Central Park or shop along Fifth Avenue. And still, those preferring quieter pursuits find a plethora choices: a seat on the Staten Island Ferry, the rooftop sculpture garden at the Metropolitan Museum or the anticipatory hush before the conductor raises his baton at the symphony. So, whether you are seeking a sample of some sublime fusion of foie gras and panna cotta or to tune your ears to the latest neo-psychedelic orchestral rap, one thing is for sure: you'll to find it here, even at 4am, in New York City.

The Big Apple is a global center for television, independent films, music, advertising and publishing. Time Warner, Hearst Corporation, Viacom all have a major presence in the city. NYC's population in the 2000 census was 8,143,197. This large population creates a city with a density of 26,403 people per square mile. New York charges a sales tax of 8.375 %. No sales tax is imposed on the purchase of clothing and footwear valued under $110. Hotels are subject to additional taxes and occupancy fees.

Coming & Going The Big Apple is serviced by three major airports, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Combined, these three airports see over 100 million people pass through their gates every year. From JFK to Midtown, the flat-rate for cabs is $45; from La Guardia to Midtown, cabs are less than $30; and from Newark to Manhattan, expect to pay $50 or more. By rail, the Long Island RR from Jamaica Station takes less than an hour and costs under $10. From the Howard Beach-JFK subway station, a ride to Midtown takes well over an hour but costs only around $2. The closest subway station to La Guardia is Astoria Boulevard; the M60 Bus travels between all La Guardia terminals and Astoria. At Newark Liberty, the AirTrain carries passengers to the Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Link Station, where they can then catch a train to Penn Station.

Making Your Way NYC is flat and most streets follow a grid system, making it easy to navigate and perfect to explore on foot. Obtain a trusty map from your hotel or visitors center, get your bearings and start exploring. The subway operates 24 hours a day. Frequency of trains depends on the time of day. Routes are identified by letters, such as A B C and by numbers, such as 1 2 3. Different lines are assigned different colors. Free subway maps are available in many hotels and at the visitor information centers. NYC operates 3,700 buses on more than 200 routes in all five boroughs. Each trip is only $2 per ride. Exact change is required and has to be paid by coins or MetroCard. The MetroCard card is available in many options. The $7 one-day Fun Pass; the 7- ($24) and 30-day ($76) unlimited ride cards; and a pay-per-ride card ($10 for 6 rides, $20 for 12 rides). When using the MetroCard, you may transfer free from bus to subway, subway to bus, or bus to bus within two hours of the time you paid your fare. Taxis can be hailed on any street or found in front of major hotels at the taxi stand. Fares are $2.50 for the first 1/3 mile, then 40Â¢ each 1/5 of a mile thereafter, and 40Â¢ per 120 seconds when cab is not moving; a 50Â¢ night surcharge is in effect between 8pm and 6am; a $1 surcharge is in effect 4-8pm weekdays (not including holidays). Any bridge or tunnel tolls will be added to the total charge. Drivers are usually given a 15% gratuity.

News & Views The New York newspapers and magazines are legendary to say the least. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are two of only three national dailies in the US, and their coverage of evertything ranging from world politics to business daily tabloids like the conservative New York Post and the more liberal Daily News do their parts covering (and sometimes sensationalize) the city's pulse with poignant writing and photography.

Quirks & Curiosities The usual way of telling the driver where you want to go is by naming the cross street and the avenue. For example, "34th and 5th" means 34th Street and 5th Avenue. Subway entrances are usually found on street corners with staircases descending to the terminal. Stops marked with a green ball mean there is a ticket booth where you can purchase tokens and MetroCards.

Getting Your Bearings Even if you carefully you plan a trip to New York, you can never hope to know the city like locals do. That's why organizations like NYC & Company, which is headquartered in Midtown just east of Broadway, are so important to travelers.

Necessities - Post Offices It's usually not too difficult to spot a drop box when you're out and about, but if you need to conduct more serious postal business, it's not always that easy. In NYC, a number of post offices are convenient to travelers and residents. They include: FDR Station 909 3rd Ave 212-330-5508 Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 9am-4pm Dag Hammarskjold 884 2nd Ave 212-571-1526 Mon-Fri 8am-6pm Rockefeller Center 610 5th Ave 212-265-3854 Mon-Fri 9am-5:30pm Grand Central Station 450 Lexington Ave 212-330-5722 Mon-Fri 7:30am-9pm, Sat 7:30am-1pm Lenox Hill Station 217 E 70th St 212-330-5561 Mon-Fri 8am-7pm, Sat 9am-4pm Radio City Station 322 W 52nd St 212-265-3672 Mon-Wed, Fri 7:30am-6pm; Thu 7:30am-7pm; Sat 9am-4pm Midtown Station 223 W 38th St 212-819-9604 Mon-Fri 7:30am-6pm Empire State Building 19 W 33rd St 212-736-8282 Mon-Fri 9am-5:30pm Times Square Station 340 W 42nd St 212-502-0421 Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:30pm

Common Courtesies Although tipping is generally a personal matter, some guidelines prove helpful. At restaurants, servers typically get 15% of the bill, although 10% acknowledges basic assistance, and 20% awards exceptional service. It is also common now for some restaurants to charge an automatic gratuity of 18% for groups. You should be aware of this possibility before providing an additional tip. Taxi drivers usually receive a tip equivalent to 15% of the tab. Often, a dollar tip covers many situations. Bartenders are customarily given $1 per cocktail, hotel maids are provided $1 for each day of a stay, bellhops get about $1 per bag, and a coat-check clerk typically receives $1 as well. Excepted is a concierge, who generally receives $5-$10 for standard service (additional assistance suggests more).

Weather Varied yet comfortable, the Big Apple's climate includes four distinct seasons. Spring usually kicks in in late March, and temperatures warm up from that point on, reaching the 80s and even up into the 90s in the heart of the city on the hottest of days. In September, temperatures cool, and late October sees chillier temperatures. At winter's height, temperatures generally average in the high 30s and snowfall is not at all uncommon.
