From the MAYOR OF NEW
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.
YORK
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

SIGHTSEEING
New York is a vertical city and there’s never been a better time to experience it, with five world-class observatories to choose from. 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 ground with miles of visibility in every direction. Edge will also thrill you with its glass floor, providing views of the High Line below your feet. (Extra thrills can be found with City Climb, the highest external building climb in the world, which lets you scale from the observatory to the skyscraper’s top on open-air platforms and stairs.)

strongest building in the world. After a minute’s ride, 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. Pro tip: there’s excellent dining and drinking at ONE Dine, with seasonally inspired menus and unbeatable views.
Across town near Grand Central, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt takes the concept of an “observation deck” to new heights through 3 levels of multi-sensory interactions. At night, the art installations are transformed through a one-of-a-kind light and sound story making the attraction a beacon of energy, visible to all of New York City and beyond.
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
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 Observatory Experience exhibition space is loaded with Instagram-ready displays that show visitors the building up to today.
For immersion in the Art Deco glory of Manhattan, Rockefeller Center’s Top of the Rock is your destination. There are both indoor and outdoor viewing areas here—for the latter, transparent safety-glass panels allow wholly unobstructed views of the city’s landmarks, including all of Central Park.
Just a blink from NYC on the New Jersey side you’ll find American Dream, which boasts the largest indoor theme park in North America plus skiing, skating, mini golf, pizza, barbecue, luxury retailers, and even an aquarium. There are more than 3 million square feet to explore,

Downtown along the East River, two centuries of New York City come together at The Seaport. This district blends quaint cobblestone streets with contemporary shopping and dining. There are also incredible perspectives on the Brooklyn Bridge and the water. The South Street Seaport Museum is also here, telling the story of “Where New York Begins” through art, artifacts, and a fleet of historic vessels. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are two of the most famous historical sites in NYC. If you want to see them first-hand, Statue City Cruises is the only way to get there. Boats depart from Battery Park City in Lower
ON THE WATER
Manhattan and Liberty State Park in New Jersey, providing memorable tours through New York Harbor. In addition to the historic stops, you’ll get amazing perspectives on water, shipping, and skylines.
For more great water views, check out the many great departures from City Cruises Seastreak is great for excursions, including summer Whale Watching tours.
When you arrive on Liberty Island, you’ll find the Statue of Liberty Museum. Breathtaking views are joined by a $100 million destination that includes memorabilia, an immersive film, and up close looks at the statue’s original torch, a 3,600-pound copper flame. Opened in 1892, Ellis Island was the gateway for 12 million newly minted Americans. Some 40% of the U.S. population traces their ancestry here. Visitors can explore the grand French Renaissance style main building and The National Immigration Museum.
The legendary aircraft carrier that’s now the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum takes visitors on an interactive journey through history to learn about American innovation and bravery. The museum includes the Space Shuttle Pavilion, home to Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle. Also on display on the flight deck are 28 authentically restored aircraft, including the British Airways Concorde, the fastest commercial aircraft to ever cross the Atlantic.
New York City grew so fast thanks to its access to shipping and its waterways remain vibrant parts of city life. The views back to skylines and landmarks are even more impressive. City Cruises offers great ways to dine along the skyline. For a refined experience, book a Premier Brunch, Lunch, or Dinner Cruise on the all-glass, European-inspired Bateaux New York and enjoy chef-prepared, plated dining, live entertainment, signature cocktails, and the city’s most impressive views. Or enjoy an upbeat buffet experience with DJ music and views from the open air roof deck on the Spirit of New York. Another opportunity to get out on the water comes from Seastreak. You’ll cruise in comfort for local getaways (including whale watching tours!) with climate-controlled cabins, an open-air top deck, 360° panoramic windows, and a full-service cash bar (the city views are every bit as spectacular as the wildlife).

Also in the Financial District, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum features two core exhibitions at the foundation of the former World Trade Center complex downtown.

One of the city’s great pleasures is exploring its stores—and by extension, its neighborhoods. In Lower Manhattan don’t miss the soaring, cathedral-like space that defines the Oculus The world-class collection of shops here is definitely about time—or it will be, when you peruse the selection of timepieces at Breitling, Tissot, and Longines. You’ll also find the perfect writing implement at Mont Blanc along with major players like Apple and Banana Republic.
A little ways north is the perennially chic SoHo, which retains its cult status with a focus on the cutting edge (Y3 Concept Store, with clothing by Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto; the trendy A.P.C, with an emphasis on stylish basics like denim, outerwear, and sweatshirts).
Just to the east sits Nolita, a small-scale neighborhood with boutiques like Love Adorned, with jewelry and home goods, and Supreme, known for its collaborations with musicians and designers.
Upmarket shoppers flock to the Meatpacking District, where women’s fashion can be found at Alice + Olivia, perfume at Bond No 9, and men’s and women’s boutique picks at Marni Meatpacking Market.

outposts like Lululemon and CAMP offer ways to work out or work in time for creativity.
Fifth and Madison Avenues can’t be missed (they’re classics, after all). Head to the former, arguably New York’s most famous street, for a who’s who of designer fashion. From Bulgari to Cartier, Tiffany to Gucci, the storied street never goes out of fashion—much like its stores. Madison Avenue’s names include Fendi, Giorgio Armani, and Berluti.
Another Midtown East legend is Bloomingdale’s 59th Street, the luxury department store legend, which is nearby on Lexington Avenue.
Near Times Square, Cockpit USA has been reproducing genuine, contemporary versions of iconic American-made aviator clothing for nearly half a century. Sports fans won’t want to miss Pelé Soccer, The World’s Greatest Soccer Store.

ON BROADWAY
Broadway Your Way: A Visitor’s Guide
By Griffin Miller
In the past, when it came to new Broadway shows, the lazy, hazy days of summer were a notorious black hole—maybe a limited run specialty show would arrive and depart in a heartbeat, or a surprise debut or two would slip in, but on the whole June, July, and August were seen as placeholders between the Tony Awards and the new Fall Season. Not anymore, and definitely not in 2023, a year that is serving up an unprecedented feast of Broadway previews and openings.
Teetering on summer with a May 30th opening night is Grey House, a psychological thriller steeped in the supernatural starring
Tony winner Laurie Metcalf and Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany. Next came June and the musical Once Upon a One More Time (heads up to fans
of Britney Spears’ greatest hits and anyone up for several fairy tale princesses revising their “happily ever afters”), followed by Just For Us, Alex Edelman’s hilarious limited-run solo show built around his one-night misadventure at a White Nationalist meeting. June also saw the New York premiere of the immersive disco pop Imelda Marcos musical Here Lies Love, featuring music by Grammy winners David Byrne and Fatboy Slim. Previews in June cleared the way for an August 3rd opening for Back to the Future:
38 Everything To Do NYC
The Musical (Marty McFly, Doc Brown, DeLorean time machine…enough said).
Moving into July, it’s comedy times two with the arrival of The Cottage, a romcom farce set in 1923 starring Eric McCormack and Laura Bell Bundy, and The Shark Is Broken, a behind-the-JAWS look at three actors, Richard Roy Dreyfuss (Alex Brightman), Roy Scheider (Colin Donnell), and Robert Shaw, played by his son Ian Shaw–relegated to a small boat waiting out a storm and the repair of the mechanical title character. Finally, August 17th marks the launch of a two-week stint for European illusionist Antonio Díaz (Discovery Max) whose show/stage name, El Mago Pop, is poised to amaze in every sense of the word.
THREE TO SEE
Showstopping numbers, epic characters, performances that exceed expectations, and an ever-growing word-of-mouth cachet—together these elements are musical theatre gold, and shared by two of
Broadway’s seismic hits and a big buzz Off-Broadway newcomer that shines a klieg light onto vintage rock history. Not surprisingly, all three productions feature plots and/ or backstories rooted in show business.
At the Shubert Theatre’s Some Like It Hot, it’s the 1920s when a couple of down-on-their-luck musicians (Tony winners Christian Borle and J. Harrison Ghee) find themselves in desperate need of both work and a get-outof-Chicago-quick escape hatch after witnessing a mob hit. Salvation comes with a west coast gig. The catch? No-nonsense bandleader Sweet Sue (Natasha Yvette Williams) helms an orchestra that is all dames, no dudes. The solution? Joe and Jerry become Josephine and Daphne, bewigged and befuddled…and romantically involved (cue Adrianna Hicks as Sugar and Kevin Del Aguila as Osgood). Expect several deviations from its cinematic source material, Billy Wilder’s 1959 classic, but the farce
remains first-rate and boasts a maniacally madcap chase scene as the perfect topper.
Fast forward a bunch of decades and you have A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical, a showbiz biopic that reaches into the hearts of Neil Diamond’s loyal fan base and recruits new disciples at every performance thanks to its formidable company led by Tony nominee Will Swenson. In nuancing Diamond’s persona, from virtual unknown to pop music icon, Swenson is fearless as he delivers one hit after another and brings his subject’s conflicted life into focus. The book, keenly crafted by Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody), begins, and is punctuated throughout, with Neil “Now” (Mark Jacoby) in therapy sessions that inevitably flashback to Swenson’s Neil and “Solitary

Man”…or “America”…or the in-show and curtain call showstopper “Sweet Caroline,” a.k.a. sing-along catnip.
Speaking of flashbacks, the new Off-Broadway musical Rock & Roll Man, homing in on the life and legacy of trailblazing DJ/ concert promoter Alan Freed, is built around blasts from the pasts and alcohol-fueled nightmare sequences featuring J. Edgar Hoover (Bob Ari) as prosecutor and a deliciously
over-the-top (as if that were possible!) Little Richard (Rodrick Covington) as defense attorney. Driving the production is Constantine Maroulis’s extraordinary lynchpin embodiment of the man who coined the term “rock & roll” while defying the pervasive segregation codes of the 1950s. Sharing stage time with Maroulis is Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos) who plays two roles—one lovable, one not so much. And, like A Beautiful Noise, the roster of rock classics is impossible to resist.
The Great Gatsby—The Immersive Show is not so much a theatre ticket as a coveted invite to a night of jazz-infused 1920’s decadence that unfolds at Gatsby Mansion in the Park Central Hotel New York. From the moment you arrive (dapper dinner jacket and flapper chic optional, but highly recommended), you’ll find yourself being chatted up by iconic characters from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, including Nick Caraway (Rob Brinkmann), Jordan Baker (Stephanie Rocío), Daisy & Tom Buchanan (Jillian Anne Abaya and Shahzeb Hussain), and, of course, your host for the evening, the handsome albeit enigmatic Jay Gatsby (Joél Acosta). The atmosphere is irresistibly real and saturated in retro glam as you toss back bootleg cocktails at the bar, Charleston on the dance floor, are seduced into exploring various manor rooms, and watch as the story unfolds organically in pop-up scenes around you. Having gathered accolades and bragging rights as the UK’s longest-running immersive production, this multifaceted Immersive Everywhere import is the brainchild of Brit Alexander Wright, who adapted and directed the piece in a way that allows theatregoers to be interactive or merely observant—your call. And, since Wright’s vision is fluid, what you take in is dependent on where you happen to be at any given moment. You can, in fact, see the production five, 10, or 100 times and never have the same experience twice. From personal dressed-to-the-Roaring’20s-nines experience, I can assure you this Art Deco shindig is all that and then some…i.e., it’s The Cat’s Meow.
