WELCOME From the

PUBLISHER OF CITY GUIDE

From the

MAYOR OF NEW YORK

As mayor of New York City, I am thrilled to join City Guide in welcoming you to this amazing city. Since 1982, City Guide has been the premier publication for visitors planning a trip to the Big Apple.

The tourism industry this past year has looked very different than in previous years. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed tourism virtually to a halt, leaving a significant impact on the $72 billion industry and the 400,000 jobs it supports. Annual visitors to our city dropped from a record high of 66.6 million in 2019 to 22.3 million in 2020. As our city embarks on the path to recovery, bringing the tourism sector back better than ever is one of my top priorities.

How do we attract visitors back to our city? By reminding them of all New York City’s unique treasures. From our lush parks to our worldclass cultural institutions, our diverse cuisine to our one-of-a-kind shopping, our historic architecture to our vibrant nightlife, this city has something to offer for everyone, in every borough. No matter where you go, I’m confident you’ll have a memorable experience – and we can’t wait to welcome you back with open arms.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Adams 8

NEW YORK CITY

For summer shopping (dare we say it’s finally warm out?) nothing beats NYC. Its plethora of well-curated boutiques, world-famous department stores, and legendary shopping districts are bursting with merch you “need” and treats to obsess over.

POP ART IN THE PARK : : Only an Italian could craft such a marvel and only MoMA is selling it. This season’s hottest outdoor accessory is the spaghetti chair, designed in Italy in the 1970s by Francesco Favagrossa and fashioned from forgiving PVC strands that offer maximum comfort and fabulous lounging! This “take me with you” chair will become your greatest outdoor asset, offering six positions and an ultra lightweight aluminum frame for easy transport.

From ice to wheels: Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace is now offering roller skating at The Rink at Rockefeller Center. It’s the first time warm weather skating has been here since 1940.

The space is welcoming and inclusive, providing the chance to show off your moves in a vibrant section of the city that can feel like the center of the universe.

The new rink is joined by a major area renovation, with tables, chairs, and green spaces now available in the plaza. Some of the city’s best bites are among the grab-and-go options, including JJ Johnson’s Harlem-based grain bowl destination Fieldtrip, the halel truck-inspired Samesa, David Chang’s fried chicken joint Fuku, and Brooklyn-born Ace’s Pizza. Rock Center also boasts fine dining, worldclass shopping, famous art and architecture, and the

Hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was best known as a painter and a Bauhaus leader. He was also a photography pioneer, as seen in the Fotografiska exhibition Light Play. A tightly edited show gathers work rangling from early experiments with photomontage to photograms (images made without a camera), personal travel shots, films, and late-career color photos. The curators worked closely with the artist’s estate to design staging that aligns with Moholy-Nagy’s experimental approach to lighting and form.

NYC NIGHTS From stealth jazz spots to megaclubs, NYC nightlife has it all. What’s hot now?

Bespoke cocktails are having a moment. Bartenders are getting creative, opening up new fronts in mixology. Downtown, cocktail lounge Nina’s x Liquid Lab brings back “the old, new New York.” Among the sophisticated drinks here look for a new Bombay Happy Hour, available through July, with refreshments like the Basquiat Bramble, bringing together gin, muddled blackberries, rosemary, and lemon.

Landmark West Village bar Dante has been around since 1915, but its recent revamp has put it at the top of World’s Best Bar lists. Among their signature cocktails you’ll find the Dante’s Manhattan, a diabolical blend of bourbon, rye, vermouths, walnut liqueur, and chocolate bitters.

For an old-school uptown cocktail experience, head to Bemelmans Bar, with its masterpiece murals by Ludwig 24 Everything To Do NYC

Bemelmans, the creator of the classic Madeline children’s books. (Live piano completes a very atmospheric scene.)

For newer thrills in the neighborhood, tucked behind a discreetly marked door you’ll find the low-lit cocktail bar NR, which transports guests to an 18th-century Japanese port town.

Brooklyn is joining in on the cocktail renaissance. Williamsburg is the borough’s nightlife capital and we’d steer you to Hotel Delmano for a seasonal cocktail menu in an elegant, classic-New York space.

Live music remains a major draw for city nightlife, with Manhattan clubs providing intimate experiences with the world’s greatest musicians. For more than 25 years, musical landmark The Iridium has been hosting rock, jazz, blues, and beyond. On Monday, May 23rd look for An Intimate Evening With Ed Palermo, featuring a big band putting unique jazz accents on the music of Frank

Zappa, Herbie Hancock, and more. On Saturday, May 28th, catch blues prodigy and singersongwriter Quinn Sullivan.

The East Village has its own destination for eclectic, compelling music. This week at Drom don’t miss the Grammy-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra, which sets the gold standard for authentic New York-style salsa. Their “Imágenes Latinas” album release concert takes place Friday, May 20th. Saturday and Sunday bring the 5th Mediterranean Jazz Festival, while Thursday, May 26th will give you the choice of flamencojazz from New Bojaira as an early show and a later highoctane performance by the New York Gypsy All-Stars.

City Winery New York City at Hudson River Park combines great bites, wine to match, and views to remember. Two stages host a stellar array of music and comedy, including Texas troubadour Lyle Lovett finishing up a residency with

The city that never sleeps is making up for lost time. his Large Band on Thursday and Friday, May 19th-20th.

Gotham Comedy Club brings in the hottest comics nightly with touring pros and ensemble nights like The Gotham All-Stars and ComedyJuice.

Another comedy legend not to be missed is Carolines on Broadway. This week the Times Square institution brings in kindergarten teacher/ comedian Joe “Mr. D” Dombrowski, known for his viral spelling bee prank, May 19th21st, and actor, comedian, and digital personality Renny, who boasts an army of more than 3 million social followers.

The Upper West Side has a neighborhoody feel. To find a fresh alternative to the

mundane here, Ashford & Simpson’s Sugar Bar is an intimate restaurant with a great Happy Hour special. Tuesdays through Saturdays 3-7pm at the bar you’ll find $5-$7 specials on beer, wine, and cocktails, plus deals on bites like chicken wings, sliders, and nachos.

For a downtown neighborhood experience, The Ear Inn offers plenty of local color in a building that dates to 1770.

On the nightclub front, the city’s philosophy remains “more is more.” Circus-style performances add to over-thetop experiences, like at Chelsea newcomer Wonderland, which brings live stage acts to an already vibrant mix.

For some culture with your nightlife, look to photography museum Fotografiska. They stay open until 9pm nightly and offers music on every floor and drinks as you explore. Far from a stuffy institution, the attitude here is “Have fun, stay late, get deep, spill your drink.”

The museum houses some of the finest American art in the world, as well as an impressive collection of European, Greco-Roman, and Ancient Egyptian art. You can lose yourself for hours here; if you need to recharge, The Temple of Dendur somehow manages to be both epic and chill.

The Morgan Library & Museum (above) started out as the private library of financier Pierpont Morgan. Today, the Morgan serves as a museum, research library, musical venue, architectural landmark, and historic site. It’s home to an enormous collection of literary and historical works, with Rembrandt, Picasso, Dickens, Hemingway, and Gutenberg Bibles just a sampling of the collection.

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum features two core exhibitions at the foundation of the former World Trade Center complex. A memorial exhibition—In Memoriam—pays tribute to the 2,983 men, women and children killed on 9/11 and in the 1993 WTC bombing. A historical exhibition tells the story of what happened on 9/11 at the three attack sites in the U.S. and around the world. It also explores what led up to the terror strikes, the immediate aftermath, and the ways 9/11 continues to shape our world.

On the plaza outside you’ll encounter two

reflecting pools, featuring North America’s largest man-made waterfalls.

The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), a branch of the Smithsonian dedicated to Native American cultures throughout the Americas, stands near the southern tip of Manhattan. On display now is Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe, which highlights the work of Oscar Howe (1915–1983), one of the 20th century’s most innovative Native American painters. The museum is housed in the landmark Beaux Arts U.S. Custom House, completed in 1907.

Head to the historic boiler room of Chelsea Market to experience the immersive art space ARTECHOUSE. You’ve never seen art like this before, as room-sized digital projections merge with sound design to create a cinematic experience. Now on view is Life of a Neuron, which draws on decades of neuroscience research to create a cellular-level journey through the human brain.

Holding down a large patch of land just off Central Park West, the American Museum of Natural History was founded in 1869 and still carries on its mission of discovering and interpreting the natural world. Families love exploring the acres of exhibits here, in addition to the futuristic sphere of The Hayden Planetarium. One of the most popular destinations in the museum is the fourth floor, where you’ll find 100 dinosaur specimens, a small sample of the largest collection of dinosaur fossils in the world.

The Guggenheim Museum is Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece of modern architecture. Completed in 1959 (after 16 years of construction), the museum is home to one of the world’s finest collections of modern and contemporary art, including works by artists such as Kandinsky, Picasso, and Pollock, plus intriguing special exhibitions. The building itself belongs in a museum—one of the world’s most famous structures, spiraling upward in sinuous curves.

The AKC Museum of the Dog was founded by the American Kennel Club in 1982. After a few decades away, it’s now back in New York City and better than ever, with new exhibits, interactive displays, and a deep catalogue of dog-related art. New show Dogs of War & Peace features 10 life-sized, carved-wood allegorical memorials by sculptor James Mellick on display from his “Wounded Warrior Dogs” and “Over the Rainbow Bridge” collections.

On the Upper West Side, the New-York Historical Society offers four centuries of history and art, plus the only Children’s History Museum in the area. Don’t miss the transformed fourth floor, with its detailed re-creation of the White House Oval Office and the Gallery of Tiffany Lamps shows 100 illuminated examples within a dramatically lit, jewel-like space.

Across town, the Museum of the City of New York explores the city’s past, celebrates its present, and imagines its future. The engaging exhibitions here offer insight into the city’s distinctive character, especially its 28 Everything To Do NYC

heritage of diversity, opportunity, and perpetual transformation.

Brooklyn has become a tourist destination to rival Manhattan, complete with its own world-class institution: the Brooklyn Museum.

Just 20 minutes from Manhattan you’ll find a priceless collection that will surprise you with its range, from ancient Egypt to European masterpieces to a feast of decorative art.

Fotografiska New York is a museum experience for the modern world. It’s a destination to discover world-class photography, eclectic programming, and surprising new perspectives.

Immerse Yourself in the World’s Greatest Views New York is a vertical city and there’s never been a better time to experience it. The past few months have brought on two new observatory options, joining three legends already here, not to mention the skylineshowcasing rides on our buses and boats.

For immersion in the art deco glory of Manhattan, Rockefeller Center’s Top of the Rock is your destination.

There are both outdoor and indoor viewing areas here—the latter nice and cozy for colder days. Outside, transparent safety-glass panels allow wholly unobstructed 30 Everything To Do NYC

views of the city’s landmarks, including all of Central Park (its size can only truly be appreciated when seen from above). The 70th Floor is the proverbaial cherry on top, allowing visitors 360° panoramas of Manhattan in all its glory. It provides a vantage point unlike any other in the city...or the world.

See the Empire State Building for yourself and you’ll know immediately why the skyscraper has been named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Recent additions have made visits here better than ever. The new Observatory Entrance

begins the adventure, leading up to the Observatory Experience. This new exhibition space is loaded with Instagram-ready displays that show visitors the building through the years and how the structure is used today.

Those looking for the ultimate Empire State Building visit can opt for 102nd floor tickets, which lead to a fully enclosed space with views in all directions—on a clear day, you can see five states!

For a downtown take on altitude, look to One World Observatory. It’s the tallest building in the hemisphere, and with over 40,000 metric

tons of steel and a unique concrete core, it’s the strongest building in the world. After a minute’s ride and a short video, you’ll hit the Discovery Level (the main observatory), with 360° sights of the city and beyond.

It’s all here, from the rivers to the harbor, from the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty, and on out to New Jersey’s ports and skylines.

The Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observation deck, Edge, stands atop the city’s newest neighborhood, Hudson Yards. Step out onto the triangular deck and you’ll be 100 floors above the

Edge will also thrill you with its glass floor, providing views of the High Line far below your feet.

BROADWAY

Broadway Your Way: A Visitor’s Guide With the arrival of t-shirt and shorts weather, New York is awesome personified, and this is especially evident on Broadway where—in the span of just 11 blocks—the number of shows playing at one time outshines any other theatrical stretch on the planet.

As a bonus, Tony nominations, awards, and celebs are currently front and center, so show time is officially prime time for Big Apple Broadway!

THE CLASS OF 2022 The new show count for the season leading up to this year’s Tony Awards has been impressive and, in the category of musicals, eclectic. A concert format (along with some awesome contemporary costumery) brings the wives of Henry VIII to vivid, anachronistic life in SIX—a mega-hot ticket and deservedly so.

thing? Opt for the highly anticipated first revival of Funny Girl and/or Hugh Jackman’s return to Broadway in The Music Man. Want to step back in time to the 1800s? Paradise Square offers a look at life against an unconventional historical backdrop. Then there’s Mr. Saturday Night, the musical comedy version of the 1992 Billy Crystal film, starring Mr. Crystal himself.

MJ, Broadway’s latest jukebox musical/bio zeroes in on a portion of Michael Jackson’s life while gender-tweaked Company continues to dazzle with Tony winners Patti LuPone and Katrina Lenk. Finally, the year’s most lacerating, rule-defying, essential new musical, A Strange Loop, hit Broadway in a flurry of critical accolades—and the 2019 Pulitzer Prize already gracing playwright Michael R. Jackson’s award shelf.

CLASSIC BROADWAY Certain shows defy time and trendiness, the most conspicuous being The Phantom of the Opera, a musical whose Majestic Theatre reign began in 1988, followed by the 1997 revival of Chicago. And while Tina: The Tina Turner Musical may have a shorter timeline than the other two, it represents the best of today’s musical bio genre with divalicious fervor.

Honoring the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll on Broadway? Pure genius!

PERFECT SCORES Whether it’s Tony trophies, rave reviews, cult status, or all of the above, some Broadway musicals continue to sell-out long after opening night. The Book of Mormon, e.g., has been showering audiences with blasphemous hilarity for 11 years, while June 10th marks Wicked’s 19th birthday, a celebration of multi-generational proportions. Hamilton, of course, is legend for being a colossal draw, while theatregoers are so moved by Come From Away they return again and again. Stylized and haunting, both Hadestown and Moulin Rouge! continue to beguile their audiences, just as Dear Evan Hansen, with its contemporary score and compassionate storyline, ranks as a top tier Broadway must-see.

FUNNY BUSINESS No matter how you like your laughs— understated, sophisticated, or slapstick— New York stages have you covered. Where Tracy Letts’ dramady The Minutes serves up small town U.S.A. satire, black humor acolytes toss back pints in Hangmen’s 40 Everything To Do NYC

Irish pub. If, however, you crave non-stop farce, I recommend two shows: POTUS—an impeccably profane, off-theWhite House-wall political femme fest in which the grenade pin has been pulled, allowing seven major-league comics to overstep their own boundaries; and The Play That Goes Wrong, a former Broadway hit that’s now an Off-Broadway hilarity tour de force, capturing the hapless antics of an amateur theatrical troupe attempting a murder mystery while navigating serial cast, set, prop, and costume catastrophes.

FAMILY FABULOUS If introducing a young family member to New York theatre is on your must-do list, there are a few shows you you’ll want to consider…and I promise, as an adult, you’ll be equally smitten! For starters, on

“Nostalgia your thing? Opt for the highly anticipated first revival of Funny Girl and/or Hugh Jackman’s return to Broadway in The Music Man.”

Broadway, Disney’s Aladdin and The Lion King are brilliant, kid-friendly versions (with a little grownup humor tucked in here and there) of the animated classics we grew up on. And for fans of J.K. Rawlings’ ever-expanding wizarding world, I’m pleased to report the next generation of Hogwarts students are not so “mischief managed” in the magically eye-popping Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Off-Broadway, I say why not indulge the kids—and your inner child—in off-the-wall high jinks served up by the three colorful deadpan dudes known as Blue Man Group.

(American Buffalo starring Laurence Fishburne, Sam Rockwell, and Darren Criss), to power (Macbeth, showcasing Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga), to male sexuality (Take Me Out, with Jesse Williams and Jesse Tyler Ferguson)—have audiences enthralled.

And should you be looking for a once-ina-lifetime theatrical opportunity, I urge you to check out Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer-winning How I Learned to Drive with Mary Louise Parker EMOTIONAL IMPACT and David Morse. Gently unraveling the Dramatic revivals are a really big deal same complex and disturbing relationship this season thanks to VIP casts and the they portrayed Off-Broadway in 1997, the ways even vintage scripts take on new two actors embrace Vogel’s memory play significance when viewed through a 2022 with piercing subtlety.

Divinely profane in all the right places!

CUISINE

CORNER

Finding Authentic New York MEALS WITH VIEWS ONE Dine, the restaurant atop One World Observatory, serves in the highest dining room in the hemisphere. The philosophy in the kitchen is driven by the local and the artisanal, with specialties like Prime NY Strip Steak, Atlantic salmon, brick-pressed freerange chicken, and lamb osso bucco. You can take in both the bustle of Columbus Circle and the serenity of Central Park at Robert. Located atop of the Museum of Arts and Design, this bright, chic spot often adds to the atmosphere with live music. There are prix fixe specials for lunch; come dinner look for entrees like duck, branzino, wild mushroom risotto, and lobster tagliatelle. For an off the beaten path rooftop destina-

tion, check out Gaonnuri on the 39th floor of a nondescript Midtown office building.

Fantastic vistas of the Empire State Building pair well with the Korean barbecue on the menu. You can opt to cook pork belly or other meats at your table’s built-in grill, or have the kitchen prepare mains like the Hot Stone Bowl with rice. At ground level, Central Park offers a cinematic New York sight at Lakeside Restaurant at The Loeb Boathouse Central Park.

CLASSIC

ITALIAN NYC boasts two Little Italys (one downtown and one in the Bronx), legendary Italian neighborhoods full of local charm in Brooklyn and Queens, and some of the world’s finest takes on Italian cuisine peppered all across Manhattan. From neighborhood pasta joints to special occasion splurges, NYC’s Italian restaurants are waiting with old school hospitality.

For intimate experiences, look to smaller, authentic venues in the Theater District.

At La Masseria you’ll find a first-rate Italian menu that blends traditional and modern.

Inspirations come from the region of Puglia (the heel of Italy’s “boot”), crafting simple, authentic pastas, risottos, and meat and fish dishes.

A little ways uptown, spinoff Masseria dei Vini also specializes in the cuisine of Puglia, with Neapolitan style pizza from a Ferrara wood-burning oven. Seafood and fresh homemade pastas are complemented by an

extensive wine by the glass and bottle list, mainly from Italy but without ignoring the rest of the world.

Another Midtown West standout is newcomer Cucina 8½, inside a sweeping space in the architecturally stunning Solow Building. Chef John Villa serves elevated takes on rustic Italian, drawing inspiration from New York and Italian traditions, with many tableside presentations.

The pastas and pizzas are all prepared in-house; join them for a weekday happy hour from 4-7pm in the bar/lounge with $7 drafts and wines plus mini martinis for just eight and a half dollars. Complementary hors d’oeuvres are served.

New York restaurants come and go, but Patsy’s Italian Restaurant is forever. The famed eatery—which only has one location, right in the heart of midtown—has been around for nearly 80 years and is only getting better. Chef Sal Scognamillo, owner and operator, is the third generation of Scognamillos to sit at the

52 Everything To Do do in NYC NYC | CityGuideNY.com

helm. The family recipes have remained largely unchanged.

Dishes like stuffed artichokes, eggplant parmigiana, and spaghetti and meatballs are as rich and flavorful as ever.

Ingredients are sourced from long-standing family business connections, ensuring every bite remains true to tradition.

To get a feel for the New York of over a century ago, head downtown to Little Italy.

Narrow sidewalks front a seemingly endless collection of Italian restaurants. When you’re ready for a sweet ending to your Little Italy adventures, Caffé Palermo is your destination. Here since 1973, this must-stop downtown legend is hosted

by Baby John, The Cannoli King. His cannolis keep to that perfect balance between sweet cream and satisfying crunch, making these the best in the city. You’ll also find the finest Italian pastries: cheesecake, tiramisu, Italian cookies, lobster tails, and unbeatable cappuccino and espresso.

HOUSES

For a memorable meal, it’s hard to beat the classic experience of a New York steakhouse. The city offers a world-class array of prime spots for prime beef, served up with the sophistication that only Manhattan can offer.

The staff at Benjamin Steakhouse is courteous, accommodating, and knowledgeable of a menu that includes everyone’s favorites—and not just meat. Seafood items include Chilean sea bass, Norwegian salmon, yellowfin tuna, and lobster. Sirloin, filet mignon, lamb, and veal chops are all dry-aged in their own aging box. Sumptuous desserts provide the perfect finish.

(The 2019 Concierge Choice Awards winner for Best Restaurant Experience is Benjamin Steakhouse’s nearby spin-off Benjamin Prime. The grill gets the spotlight here, turning out USDA prime dry-aged steaks and succulent seafood in 54 Everything To Do NYC

unique ways.)

The Palm Restaurant is a dining tradition that has been handed down for generations. Look for fan favorite lobster, Italian specialties, and, of course, stellar steaks. A fixture in the Theater District near the Gershwin Theater since 1999, The Palm Midtown is a natural dining destination before or after a show. A second location, The Palm Tribeca, is just steps away from the Financial District, the Hudson River, and Battery Park.

Strip House Downtown serves creative cuisine in a burlesque-inspired atmosphere with service that befits a high-end steakhouse experience.

Signature selections include sizzling cuts of prime beef, fresh seafood, and decadent desserts. Seating is also available in the attached Speakeasy for those who prefer a more intimate dinner and cocktail experience. Strip

House Midtown offers a roomy bi-level space near Bryant Park for lunch, dinner, and private dining. The interior is siren-red and accented with vintage black and white photography, but the star of the show is the namesake New York strip.

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse features floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of Sixth Avenue and nearby Rockefeller Center. Make it a night to remember with chef-driven cuisine, world-class wines, and unparalleled hospitality.

Morton’s The Steakhouse is famous for USDA prime-aged beef, fresh seafood, fine wine, and elegant desserts.

The experience blends classic and contemporary, with an innovative cocktail culture that fuels a bustling bar scene. There are two NYC locations, Midtown West and downtown near the 9/11 Memorial.

nyc transportation

fun facts 800 trips NYC’s buses subway

• A New York City taxi makes almost month. • If you laid out

a

subway tracks end to

end you’d reach Chicago. • NYC Transit

give

678 million rides every year. • The

fleet

travels 365 million miles a year. • No surprise here: the Times Square-42nd Street subway station is the city’s busiest. It’s the

65 million an alibi? gateway to

rides a year. •

Need

MetroCard swipes are tracked and have

been used in criminal defenses. • Every wonder why city buses don’t take

paper money

?

NYC Transit uses giant vacuums to empty fareboxes, which would turn that cash into confetti. • By law, there are exactly

13,587 taxis

in NYC. But

good luck

finding even one when it rains.

VAX & MASKS On March 7th, 2022, Mayor Eric Adams ended city guidance that asked for vaccine proofs and mask wearing for indoor activities. Individual places may still request mask and/or vax proof, but many have relaxed all requirements for entry. Public transportation as of press time still requires masks. Broadway is requiring masks for all audiences inside the theatre, except while eating or drinking in designated locations, at least through May 31st; many theatres will no longer require proof of vaccinatin. You can find the latest at broadwayleague.com/covid-19-updates.
