A Letter from the Mayor

Dear Friends:

Fall is a great time to visit New York. A stroll through Central Park is even
more magical among the falling yellow, orange and red leaves; a walk
across the Brooklyn Bridge offers stunning views in the crisp autumn
air; and our City’s many cafés and restaurants provide an opportunity
to warm up by sharing a cappuccino or hot meal with family and friends.

As the cooler temperatures prevail, inviting New Yorkers and visitors to


spend more time outdoors, it’s the perfect time to take a tour of one of
our City’s historic neighborhoods by foot or bike. Whether it’s Astoria,
Cobble Hill, Greenwich Village, Richmondtown or Riverdale, there’s
something exciting to explore in every borough. While you’re out, make
sure to sample the local fare, with tastes from every world culture, and
visit some of the one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques that give New York
its unique character.

If the weather gets too chilly, you can duck into one of the many New
York institutions that offer an entertaining and educational look at
historical and artistic treasures. Brush up on Greek and Roman history
in the magnificent Metropolitan Museum of Art; check out a Van Gogh
or Picasso in the Museum of Modern Art; or visit a Chelsea gallery or
two to discover the next big thing. And if you get tired walking through
museums and galleries, take a seat at a Carnegie Hall performance or
at a Broadway, Off-Broadway or Off-Off-Broadway show to experience
the creativity that is the hallmark of our City’s cultural life.

The fall also boasts a number of outstanding events that are not to be
missed—and that happen only here in New York City. Join the crowds
on the streets in Little Italy for the Feast of San Gennaro, put on your
favorite costume and take part in the Village Halloween Parade or cheer
on the runners from around the world at the ING New York City
Marathon.

Whatever you choose to do, we’re certain you’ll agree there’s no better
place to vacation than New York City. Enjoy your stay with us—and come
back again soon!

Sincerely,

Michael R. Bloomberg
Mayor

Park or enjoy the native flora planted along

the High Line, Manhattan’s new elevated

greenway. Marvel at the massive balloons in

the one-and-only Macy’s Thanksgiving Day

Parade; watch the world go by in car-free

Times Square; bring your family to Madison

Square Garden to cheer the Knicks and

Rangers; or celebrate the new cultural season

at Carnegie Hall, on Broadway and beyond.

You could spend a lifetime here and still not

see it all. This guide features tips on how to

Hip-hop was born in the Bronx. Colin Powell grew up here. And Babe
Ruth made his name here, too. Today, the borough celebrates those
legacies and then some. Visitors can taste the authentic flavor of Arthur
Avenue, the Bronx’s charming Little Italy; admire art deco architecture
on the Grand Concourse; and take in colorful fall foliage at the Wave Hill
gardens and conservatory. Autumn is also a great time to see all manner
of flora and fauna at the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo,
where you’ll find aardvarks, zebras and almost everything in between.
Subways, buses, private car services and tour companies make all of
these highlights easy to reach.

“The borough of homes and churches,” as Brooklyn is known, is the


City’s most populous borough and features some of its most exciting
neighborhoods—each with its own distinct character. BoCoCa’s Smith
Street, for example, is lined with cozy boutiques. In foodie-friendly Park
Slope, grab lunch at a café and then stroll through Prospect Park,
whose attractions include a zoo and Brooklyn’s last remaining natural
forest. Williamsburg and DUMBO are hip culture factories teeming with
galleries, pubs and performance spaces. Scenic Brooklyn Heights is the
first neighborhood you’ll encounter after traversing the Brooklyn Bridge,
the historic East River crossing that supplies breathtaking views of
Manhattan, Brooklyn and New York Harbor.

Manhattan is New York City’s smallest borough in size, but it’s packed
with a mind-boggling assortment of iconic attractions. First-time visitors
should explore legendary urban hub Times Square, now a lively car-free
pedestrian mall. For a break from the bustle, head to Central Park—an
843-acre oasis populated by trees, ponds, playgrounds, zoos and more.
Uptown, Harlem boasts transcendentally tasty soul food. In Midtown,
Top of the Rock and the Empire State Building offer the best views of the
world’s most famous skyline. Farther west, you’ll find the High Line, an
innovative public park 30 feet above street level. Of course, there’s also
much more: Greenwich Village, SoHo and the Financial District all boast
delectable dining, stylish shopping and fascinating history.

Fun fact: the song “It’s a Small World (After All)” debuted at the 1964
World’s Fair in Queens. The song’s origin is fitting, as Queens seems to
encompass the entire world within its borders: it’s the nation’s most
ethnically diverse county and home to all manner of international cuisine.
Astoria’s got Greek fare, while Jackson Heights and Flushing offer Indian
and East Asian delicacies. Corona has Mexican and Central American
food, and Woodside’s Irish pubs serve shepherd’s pie and Guinness.

you arrive at the St. George Ferry Terminal, stroll the neighborhood,
taking in sweeping vistas and historic architecture. Then dine at a local
café and hop the S40 bus to the Snug Harbor Cultural Center &
Botanical Garden. Staten Island is a must for history buffs, too:
Richmond Town, for example, is a 100-plus-acre living museum with
homes and a working farm. And just 15 minutes from the terminal, you’ll
find authentic dosas and curries in Little Sri Lanka. The borough is easy

Planes, trains, automobiles...ferries, pedicabs and
more—they’re all in New York City, ready to take you
where you’re going. As a major US hub with seven
area airports, the world’s largest public subway
and bus fleet, plus an extensive network of bridges,
tunnels, ferries and even cruise ports, the City is an
easy and affordable place to reach and get around.
And with more than 600 miles of bike lanes and
paths, it’s also a great place for a two-wheeled tour
or commute. Plus, if you’ve never taken a helicopter
before, the City even offers unforgettable airborne
tours (although choppers might not be the most
efficient mode of City transportation, they sure are
cool). Read on for airport information, public transit
tips and everything else you need to get from point
A to point B in NYC. To create customized bus and

Sightseeing & Tours
New York City is full of landmarks you simply can’t
miss: The Empire State Building. The Brooklyn
Bridge. The Statue of Liberty. These icons alone may
forever change the way you look at the world, but
the City’s sights run even deeper. From the bountiful
markets of Chinatown to the restored colonial houses
of Historic Richmond Town, there’s plenty of ground
to cover—so wear comfortable shoes. Or, if you
prefer, hop a bus or hire a guide—specialized tours
offer insider perspectives on such NYC staples as
pizza, finance and Gossip Girl, to name just a few.
You’ll find options and money-saving discount

Arts &
Entertainment
This season brings an exciting slate of new
Broadway shows, including Lombardi, a new
play based on the life of the football coaching
legend; and The Pee Wee Herman Show, a
revival of the stage extravaganza that spawned
a 1980s film and television phenomenon. (Note
to families: this show is much edgier than Pee
Wee’s big-screen adventures.) And there’s
much more: The City offers live music, comedy,
television shoots, children’s theater and dance,
to name just a few options. This fall, Carnegie
Hall—the world-famous venue for popular
and classical music—kicks off its celebration
of its 120th anniversary. There’s something
spectacular happening every day and night.
For details, read on.

Museum Mile is impressive, but it represents
only one small part of New York City’s staggering
cultural cornucopia. As Staten Island approaches
its 350th anniversary, head for the Alice Austen
House museum and soak up some of the borough’s
history. Built in the 1690s as a Dutch farmhouse
and later transformed by the Austen family into
a Victorian Gothic cottage, the house is a show-
place for Austen’s work as a photographer, which
provides a revealing look at life at the turn of the
20th century. The museum also features out-
standing contemporary photography. Meanwhile,
in Harlem, the Schomburg Center for Research
in Black Culture hosts a full roster of programs
and events highlighting black history—it has been
one of the leading institutions of its kind for more
than 80 years. See the following chart for pay-
what-you-wish hours at select sites.

Nightlife

Nightlife
Life gets lived a little more intensely in New York
City, and that’s especially true when night falls.
Indeed, for some the full NYC experience doesn’t
begin until after dark—or end until daybreak. Move
with the thumping beats at exclusive Chelsea
nightclub Quo or the motion of the sea on a World
Yacht dinner cruise. Applaud live jazz at Blue Note
or belt out your own soundtrack at Sing Sing
Karaoke. Catch star comedians at Comix or cheer
your favorite team at boisterous sports bar SideBar.
No matter what your interests, there’s no shortage
of ways to spend an evening in New York City.
Read on for more ideas.

Sports & Wellness

Sports & Wellness


This fall in NYC sports, the Mets and Yankees
reach the homestretch of a long Major League
Baseball campaign. It’s also a busy time at
Madison Square Garden as the Knicks hit the
hardwood and the Rangers take the ice. If you’d
rather break a sweat yourself, look no further than
November’s ING New York City Marathon, during
which 43,000 elite and amateur competitors pass
through all five boroughs, cheered on by 2 million
spectators. Need to unwind? Spas in the five
boroughs will help you recharge after a day of
sightseeing, recover from a night of dancing or
refresh before an evening of theater. Read on
for more suggestions—and let the games begin.
