A Note from the Editor

Snoopy, etc.

Growing up in Canarsie, Brooklyn, I have all kinds of wonderful city memories, but one of the most prominent has to be the year my family went to the Macy’s Thanksiving Day Parade. We had been watching it every year on television, so the idea of taking the LL subway (now simply known as the L line) to the event was beyond exciting for a 12-year-old girl who lived across the East River from the Big Show. It was one of those tingly cold Thanksiving days, a great excuse to buy a bag of hot, lightly burnt chestuts from a Manhattan street vendor.

We then forced our way as far forward as we could on Sixth Ave. and W. 36th St. for the grand spectacle: Bullwinkle, Donald Duck and the brand-new Aviator Snoopy, up close and personal! Nothing could have prepared me for the balloons’ towering, all-consuming adorableness, an iconic experience from an iconic event in an iconic city.

This month, you, too, can make your way through the crowds for this grand holiday event, but if you aren’t around on Nov. 28, or simply can’t make it, no need to feel that the parade has passed you by. There is so much else going on this month, your head will be spinning with where-to decisions. The traditionalist in you can catch the legendary Radio City Christmas Spectacular (Nov. 8-Dec. 30, at Radio City Music Hall); experience the beauty of The Nutcrackerr ballet (Nov. 29-Jan. 4, 2014,at Lincoln Center ); or take a Holiday Lights Tour (Gray Line). For something a little edgier, see Justin Timberlake— real (Barclays Center, Nov. 6), or Memorex (Madame Tussauds Wax Museum)—or try checking out a Green-Wood Cemetery Historic Trolley Tour. And don’t forget to start exercising that Amex card with ideas from our Holiday Gift Guide. So, whether you are doing something festive or Festivus, this city awaits your exploration!

SEASONAL II

“The Waltz of the Flowers” from George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker at New York City Ballet.

On Their Toes The New York City Ballet wasn’t the first American troupe to perform The Nutcracker (David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 63rd St., 212.496.0600, Nov. 29-Jan. 4, 2014), but founder/choreographer George Balanchine’s production is, for many, the definitive version of the Tchaikovskyscored classic, and a local holiday tradition since 1954. Based on productions that Balanchine danced in as a boy in his native Russia, Act I—set in the home of Marie, the little heroine—serves up spectacle: a rambunctious party, a magically expanding Christmas tree that grows 40 feet high and an epic battle between the armies of the Nutcracker Prince and the multiheaded Mouse King. In contrast, Act II—in the Land of Sweets—is devoted to displays of terpsichorean virtuosity by leaping candy canes, waltzing flowers, little clowns who emerge from underneath their mama’s huge hoopskirt and, finally, the Sugar Plum Fairy. Her solo is one of the most fiendishly difficult in the classical ballet canon, though principals Sara Mearns, Tiler Peck and Sterling Hyltin (to name a few of the company’s current prima ballerinas) make it look as easy as pie—which is how Balanchine once described his ballets (“like making little pies”).

LIGHTING ON A LARGE SCALE

The ladies of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

SEASONAL III

High-steppers Kicking off the holiday season— literally—is the Radio City Christmas Spectacular (Radio City Music Hall, 1260 Sixth Ave., at W. 50th St., 866.858.0007, Nov. 8-Dec. 30), featuring those darlings of precision dancing, the Rockettes. The 86th edition of the show tampers with tradition: In the climactic “Snow” number, instead

of appearing absolutely identical, each of the 36 dancers wears a slightly different costume, so no two are exactly alike (like the snowflakes they play). But purists needn’t pout— plenty in the production remains unchanged, including the “Living Nativity,” with actual camels, sheep and donkeys onstage, and the “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” with the Rockettes’ famed collapse in slow-mo.

To commemorate HANUKKAH (Nov. 27-Dec. 5), New York boasts two giant outdoor menorahs, each claiming to be the world’s largest (which is possible: Both rise 32 feet high, the tallest allowed by Jewish law). One stands at 59th St. & Fifth Ave., near Central Park; the gilded-steel structure has an unusual shape (two inverted triangles within a square), but is lit with traditional oil lamps, housed within glass chimneys. Possessing the more familiar candelabra silhouette, the other occupies Grand Army Plaza, fronting Brooklyn’s Prospect Park; it beats back the dark with glass kerosene lanterns.

At each, the nightly ceremonial often turns into a party, with live music, free latkes and toys.

A classic burger from Smashburger, a popular Denverbased chain.

BURGER SCENE The hamburger, that great American staple, is undergoing a juicy renaissance. A plethora of patties—classic and creative, beefy and beyond—are popping up between NYC buns. Open wide.

Sometimes you want what you know. SHAKE K flagship (Madison Square Park, Madison SHACK‘s Ave. & E. 23rd St., 212.889.6600; and five other NYC locations) has the classic, fast-food beef burger down to an art. It may not be fancy, but it’s tasty— an Angus patty with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo-based “ShackSauce” on a buttered potato roll. The flavor is safe and familiar, conjuring up images of backyard barbecues and red, white ‘n’ blue flags. The outdoor original venue (every chain starts somewhere) sports stringed lights, park views and heat lamps.

Meanwhile, an NYC outsider gains ground: R (80 DeKalb Ave., btw SMASHBURGER Hudson Ave. & Rockwell Pl., 718.222.1101, Brooklyn), an expanding Denver export, strokes local egos with regional flavors: The “Brooklyn” features a beef patty (smashed, as the name suggests, onto a buttered grill) topped with grilled pastrami, aged Swiss, pickles, onions and mustard on a pretzel bun. Let the fast-food burger battle begin.

Nobody balks when you mix peanut butter with jelly. But put it on a burger? Hell, yes.

C (3612 Broadway, btw W. HARLEM PUBLIC 148th & W. 149th sts., 212.939.9404) tops ground beef with creamy peanut butter, thick-cut brown-sugar bacon and New York cheddar to make a combo that’ll drive you nutty. If going Uptown isn’t your thing, ROGUE & CANON (128 W. Houston St., at Sullivan St., 646.398.8700) has you covered: Its beef patty is crowned with the crave-worthy condiment, crispy pork belly, onion marmalade and aged cheddar. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, jelly.

No need to embark on a safari or go elk hunting in woodland wilds: Exotic meats are already on the R (1681 First Ave., at E. 87th table at BAREBURGER St., 212.390.1344; and 12 other NYC locations). The adventurous menu features offbeat patties, from

ostrich, elk and bison to lamb and wild boar. The joint also caters to traditionalists (yes, beef and turkey grace the menu) and vegetarians (farmer’s quinoaveggie and mushroom options).

Here, gamey is good.

If cravings arise in Times Square, R (127 W. 43rd St., HB BURGER btw Sixth & Seventh aves.,

Above:: Umami Burger goes deep sea with an ahi tuna and avocado burger; left: db Bistro Moderne’s gourmet take on the classic.

crisp, shiitake mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions and umami-flavored ketchup on a logo-branded bun. Taste buds tremble for the truffle burger, with garlic aioli and truffleinfused cheese and glaze. Scary good.

Star chef Daniel Boulud gives the burger a classy, French-inflected reimagining at DB BISTRO E (55 W. 44th St., btw Fifth & Sixth aves., MODERNE 212.391.2400): His ground sirloin is packed with braised short ribs and foie gras and placed on a Parmesan bun. Decadent? Sure. Worth it? Definitely, mon cher.r (A gourmand’s dream.)

212.575.5848) serves up a variety, from Kobe beef to Cajun crab cake. Plus, seasonal brews.

A West Coast craze hits the West Village with R (432 Sixth Ave., btw W. 9th & UMAMI BURGER W. 10th sts., 212.677.8626). The addictive options capitalize on the namesake Japanese “fifth taste”—after sweet, sour, bitter and salty. The original version comes with a latticed Parmesan

Stuff yourself with stuffed burgers of a more down-home variety at Brooklyn’s rustic BURN E (506 Grand St., btw Union Ave. & Lorimer SIDE St., 347.889.7793). The “Juicy Lucy” is no joke: The 5-ounce beef ball reveals a molten American cheese center and is served with grilled onions, pickles and spicy mayo. Try the Wisconsin cheese curds for a touch of country fair.—William Frierson

Now, those who prefer to stay on the other side of the bridge in Brooklyn, but still hunger for salty, sea-fresh oysters, clams and shrimp can do so at the new Grand Central Oyster Bar Brooklyn, opening this month in Park Slope (254-256 Fifth Ave., btw Carroll St. & Garfield

The new WhereTraveler Books + More store in JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at JFK Airport embraces new and old media: Travel-tip-filled videos play on flat screens, supplementing the shelves of books, periodicals and maps. The inventory also has items practical (phone chargers), tasty (healthy snacks), luxurious (coffee-table tomes) and nostalgic (NYC-themed souvenirs). Just don’t get so busy browsing that you miss your ride into town, or the flight home.

DAY TRIPPER / HARLEM Make the trip Uptown to experience the ever-evolving neighborhood of Harlem, known for its hearty food and offbeat art …

Who knew Harlem had gotten so chic?

At recently opened Vinatería (right, 2211 Frederick Douglass Blvd., at W. 119th St., 212.662.8462), interiors are made of recycled materials—repurposed wood tables, vintage chairs, plus antique vases and glasses. But the effect is sleek, not shabby, lending the space a modern bistro feel. Besides the fantastic ambience, the real reason to visit is the food: The eclectic menu is divided into small, medium and large plates—one of the stars in the middle being black spaghetti with octopus and breadcrumbs.

Good Hair Day You can kiss frizz and all other hairdo malfunctions goodbye with the help of the extensive beauty products at Carol’s Daughter (24 W. 125th St., btw Fifth & Lenox aves., 212.828.6757). A popular fix-it is the Monoi Repairing Collection (above), made of a blend of coconut oil and Tiare gardenia, which Tahitian women have been using on their locks for thousands of years. The combination makes monoi oil, a concoction perfect for healing and preventing hair damage. Thanks to Carol’s Daughter, you don’t have to go to the islands to get it. Just Uptown.

ART DESTINATION Harlem has long been known as a hub for AfricanAmerican arts, handsomely showcased at the Studio Museum of Harlem (144 W. 125th St., btw Lenox & Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd., 212.864.4500) Exhibits here hone in on local and national talent, and have launched the careers of a number of artists, including Mickalene Thomas and Robert Pruitt, whose work is shown below. Two new exhibitions open at the museum Nov. 14: The Shadows Took Shape and Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art.

HOW TO GET THERE By Subway: Take the 1, 2, 3 trains to W. 125th St. By Taxi: $16 from Midtown.

Some restaurants stay true to culinary tradition; others branch out into new terrain. It’s all part of this urban garden of eatin’. By Karen Tina Harrison

Red-sauce pasta dishes, like Bucatini all’Amatriciana, remain Patsy’s Italian Restaurant’s stock-in-trade.

T

his city never lets you forget that “new” is a part of its name. Innovation is its currency in all things— business, media, fashion, dining. Yet, at the same time, New York is pledged to honoring its traditions.

Nowhere are these dual strands more in evidence than in the city’s restaurants. Every cuisine has its avatars of the classic and the au courant.

French For generations of New York City diners, Le Périgord (405 E. 52nd St., at First Ave., 212.755.6244) has been an icon of haute cuisine, a go-to for proper Dover

sole, duck à l’orange, beef Bourguignon. “My father, Georges Briguet, opened Le Périgord in 1964 with roses on every table and a fussy French chef in the kitchen,” says Christopher Briguet. “We symbolized ‘ze French restaurant.’” Today, Le Périgord is in the hands of the next generation of Briguets, “and is introducing today’s young diners and city visitors to this revered cuisine.”

While Le Périgord has relaxed with the times—jackets are only requested, not required now—Chef Joel Benjamin, from Brittany, “serves all the classics,” Briguet says, from roasted chicken (free-range now) to truffles and game

in season. “And our prix fixe menus make it easy to order a total French dinner experience”—that is, a trio of complementary appetizer, entrée and dessert courses. Of course, the ambience remains romantique: “The engagement pillow is still ready for that moment on bended knee.”

In contrast, Bar Boulud (1900 Broadway, at W. 64th St., 212.595.0303) is superchef Daniel Boulud’s spin on a classic French brasserie. With its blond-wood furniture, futuristic traintunnel confines, and a buzzy, see-and-be-seen mood as animated as the lobby scene in a Lincoln Center theater just across the street, grand-mère’s cozy French Provincial restaurant this is not. Monsieur Boulud’s handpicked executive chef, fellow Frenchman Olivier Quignon, composes time-honored dishes, but with a New York take you can taste. “New York’s local food culture challenges a chef to combine old and new in an exciting way,” Quignon says. “Great local ingredients, treated with traditional French technique and sensibility.” His beef tartare is made with U.S. meat and served with house-made potato chips. Guinea hen is lavished with foie gras from the Hudson Valley just north of the city. And Bar Boulud’s handmade French charcuterie is all made right here by third-generation charcutier Gilles Verot, himself a

new New Yorker. “Keeping things exciting is the New York way,” says Chef Quignon.

Asian As unlikely as it sounds, one of the city’s most authentic Japanese restaurants, 15 East (15 E. 15th St., at Fifth Ave., 212.647.0015), is the creation of a Brazilian. Proprietor Marco Moreira grew up in São Paulo, home to the world’s largest Japanese community outside the Land of the Rising Sun. His restaurant possesses a spare, profoundly Japanese design and a fashionable Downtown clientele adept at using chopsticks to consume the strongly traditional cuisine. No pop hybrids here, such as sushi adorned with mango and jalapeños, or rolls containing cream cheese. 15 East’s fare is “fundamentally very pure. New York diners recognize and respect that,” Moreira says. Certain ingredients are imported from Japan, like the nori (seaweed wrappers) and bonito flakes used in dashi (broth), as are the kitchen knives and other tools, including the bamboo-stick mats used to roll sushi.

Other ingredients are local—from the Union Square Greenmarket down the block, in fact—but even that practice stays spiritually true to his cuisine’s spirit, Moreira insists: “In Japan, you cook with what you have, and everything honors the season.”

Another time-honored cuisine assumes up-to-the-minute trappings at Buddakan (75 Ninth Ave., at W. 16th St., 212.989.6699).

Here, New York’s cherished pastime of “going out for Chinese” morphs into going out in cool Meatpacking District style. Buddakan’s cathedral scale, palatial chandeliers and vast, opulently set tables evoke a French château decked out for a Cantonese banquet. Executive Chef Brian Ray considers his cuisine “fanciful interpretations of classic Chinese dishes”—as indicated by the royal ingredients in his signature dishes: Australian Wagyu in his Imperial Beef, pignoli nuts in his vegetable stir-fry, lobster in his egg rolls and dumplings, a jewel-like crystallized ginger crust on his Mongolian lamb chops, Thai holy basil on his chili chicken.

And for dessert: yuzu soufflé, anyone?

Italian

Venerable Patsy’s Italian Restaurant (236 W. 56th St., btw Broadway & Eighth Ave., 212.247.3491) is now in its third and fourth generations of Scognamillo family ownership. “But

Sevilla Restaurant and Bar has served Spanish specialties like clams in green sauce for decades.

the heart of the menu remains true to the original recipes my grandfather Pasquale and grandma Concetta brought over from Naples,” says Chef/owner Sal Scognamillo. “Pasquale changed his name to Patsy and opened shop in the Theater District in 1944.

Frank Sinatra started coming in, even though he was Sicilian, and we’re Neapolitan,” he jokes. “Suddenly, New Yorkers couldn’t get enough of Patsy’s spaghetti with veal meatballs, his veal, chicken and eggplant Parmigiana, his linguine with white clam sauce, his chicken cacciatore.” Not much has really changed since, says Sal. “When New Yorkers and city visitors want to indulge in the soulful pleasure of red-sauce Italian, Patsy’s is the place. Always was, always will be.”

The future of Italian food is happening near Madison Square Park, where longtime New York restaurant impresario Tony May and daughter Marisa preside over SD26 (19 E. 26th St., btw Madison & Fifth Aves., 212.265.5959). A casual descendent of May’s previous restaurant, San Domenico, the sleek dining room features an open-plan kitchen, leather-and-steel Vignelli chairs and Sheila Hicks fiber sculptures, and the gallerylike wine bar offers an iPad wine list. Or diners can choose to roost in the slice-to-order salumeria bar or, weather permitting, an outdoor café. Executive Chef Matteo Bergamini finesses pan-Italian creations and Tony’s signature dishes, like Florentine T-bone steak, rich uovo in raviolo (concealing a truffled egg) and spaghetti alla chitarra, fresh-cut daily on a stringed board that resembles a chitarra, or guitar. But much has been updated to reflect Tony’s new passions: reduced-price half portions, a prix fixe lunch and Il Quadrifoglio, a caloriecontrolled lunch with four small courses. “You get a variety of taste experiences at once,” he says. “It’s classic but modern, just like SD26.”

Seafood Residents of this great seaport town consider the city’s waterfront their backyard, and seafood restaurants their birthright. The Sea Fire Grill (158 E. 48th St., btw Third & Lexington Aves., 212.935.3785) is the epitome of the traditional steak and seafood palace, with a swanky design that recalls a vintage supper club. The kitchen magician is Executive Chef Ted Pryor, who grew up in New York and Paris. “My parents took me out to all the grand New York restaurants, where dining was an event. I knew I wanted to be a chef.

The Sea Fire Grill has that [old-time] drama . . . It’s a place where you make an entrance and then settle into a private-feeling table.” Pryor serves American coastal classics “with flair that reflects my culinary training in Paris,” he says. So, Champagne butter w w w. w heretrave le r.c o m

caresses a local halibut, and North American seafood adorns a French-style seafood plateau assortment. And for diners who want something a little meatier, the restaurant offers plenty of steaks, USDA prime beef dry-aged 28 days in-house.

If The Sea Fire Grill conjures up a classic cosmopolitan surf ‘n’ turfer, Luke’s Lobster (242 E. 81st St., 212.249.4241; and three other NYC locations) taps into the neo-urban rustic trend—restaurants that, in the middle of the big city, evoke a farm or roadhouse or, in this case, ”an authentic Maine seafood shack,” says 29-year-old founder Luke Holden. Despite that historic reference, this shack

has an of-the-moment, eco-conscious New York twist. “Our decoration is salvaged material,” says Holden. “Our doormats are woven from old float rope that lobstermen used to protect right whales. Our tables and counters are made of recycled logs fished out of Maine lakes and rivers. And a good portion of the shack is hand-built by our team.” Cuisinewise, Luke’s prides itself on freshness: “We fish our lobster every morning in Maine and serve traditional Down East lobster rolls filled with a quarter pound of fresh meat,” Holden says. “It’s about celebrating nostalgia”—and what could be more fashionable than that?

Barbecue

Half the fun of BBQ is having a down-home experience—and one of the homiest barbecue joints in town is Dinosaur Bar-B-Que (700 W. 125th St., at 12th Ave., 212.694.1777), perpetually thronged by those seeking true ‘cue and honky-tonk cheer. The rollicking bar boasts big-screen games and 23 beers on tap. As for the grub, “we take no shortcuts. Our smokers, our hickory logs, everything’s real and slow-cooked, like barbecue is meant to be, ” says John Stage, founder and executive pit boss.

The menu nods to current tastes, with dishes like Korean-style short ribs and mojito-marinated chicken breast, but overall, “Dinosaur stays a classic,“ Stage insists. “The funky soundtrack, the smoky aroma and flavors … barbecue is America’s comfort food, and Dinosaur is rootin’-tootin’, honest barbecue.”

Eating BBQ becomes an urbane experience at Blue Smoke (116 E. 27th St., btw Lexington Ave. & Park Ave. So., 212.447.7733), where diners have a choice between upstairs, with its exposed vintage brick walls and lamps, city light pouring in through windows, and brasserie booths and banquettes; or downstairs in the music club Jazz Standard (212.576.2232). The ‘cue marries different regional styles (the Rib Sampler, for example, includes Memphis baby backs, Kansas City spareribs and Texas beef ribs). What really jazzes it up are the accoutrements—a full bar with wine, cocktails and even a “dessert beer” list, all curated for connoisseurs, and more appetizers and sides (think: PEI mussels, sesame coleslaw) than players in a swing band. There’s even a hickory smoked vegetable burger for the noncarnivorous.

the landmark eatery Sevilla Restaurant and Bar (62 Charles St., at W. 4th St., 212.929.3189), established in 1941. Longtime waiters wear red toreador jackets, serving lovebirds perched in romantic wooden booths huge portions of saffron-scented seafood and fruity sangria—“The true Spanish cuisine that newcomers brought to Little Spain,” says Antonio Lloves, the latest generation of the family that owns the restaurant. While the original clientele consisted of homesick émigrés, “our neighbors are different these days,” Lloves notes. “Designers and movie stars live nearby. We’ve cooked for Sarah Jessica Parker, Susan Sarandon, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Lauren. Mick Jagger came in three times in one week and always ordered Albariño white wine.” They all crave such Spanish specialties as paella served in the pot, mariscada seafood stew and baked snapper with shrimp. While there have been additions—“If they want tapas, we have that on the menu now”—Sevilla happily remains a time capsule. As Chef Jose Lloves puts it: “Some things in life, you say this is good, this is right.

Sevilla will go on being just right.”

‘Cue the classics, such as a rack of slow-cooked pork ribs, at down-home Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.

Hispanic When Porteños (Buenos Aires natives) Ismael Alba and Karina de Marco moved here from that sophisticated New World metropolis, “we couldn’t find a New York restaurant that captured the passion and flavors of Argentina,” says Karina. “So I opened one”—Buenos Aires (513 E. 6th St., btw aves. B & A, 212.228.2775), which marries classic Porteño flavors with East Village cool. “New Yorkers and Porteños share a lot,” says Karina.

“Both cities have a great mix of cultures. They are both steak cities.

And they are places where people like to relax and catch up over a comfortable, friendly dinner.” What’s not the same? “Porteños love what they have so much, they’re not so willing to try new things. But New Yorkers want to try everything,” Karina says. “At Buenos Aires, they can get a true taste of Argentina. Like our Malbec wine from the Mendoza region, our 11 kinds of empanadas and our meats. You can taste several of them in our parrillada mixed grill,” she continues. “It includes Angus skirt steak and short ribs, sweetbreads, chorizo sausage and black sausage, done the way gauchos first cooked it on the pampas plains over a fire.

You must have it with our garlic and parsley chimichurri sauce. “ (In fact, you can have everything with the sauce, though the dulce de leche dessert is better without it.)

Across town from this Argentine outpost lies the West Village, once an enclave of Spanish immigrants. Their legacy lives on at w w w. w heretrave le r.c o m

Instead of joining dad in the family distribution company (which, he decided, wasn’t for him), he took up his old man’s treasured hobby, photography. It worked out. His solo exhibit, Michael Eastman’s Vanishing America: Horses and Landscapes, captures the grit and glory of the rural heartland.

GALLERIES & ANTIQUES DISTRICTS In general, commercial art galleries and antiques shops are concentrated in five areas of Manhattan: The Upper East Side. Madison Ave., and surrounding streets, is a rich hunting ground for the collector of fine art and antiques.

,

57th St. The stretch btw Madison & Sixth aves. is of special interest to the art lover.

The most notable buildings here are 40 W. 57th St. (btw Fifth & Sixth aves.); 724 Fifth Ave. (btw 56th & 57th sts.); 745 Fifth Ave. (btw 57th & 58th sts.); the Fuller Building (41 E. 57th St., at Madison Ave.); and the Crown Building (730 Fifth Ave., btw 56th & 57th sts.).

Chelsea and the Meatpacking District.

These are unquestionably two of Manhattan’s hottest art districts. Contemporary paintings, sculpture and video installations prevail, with only a few antiques shops. Art galleries are mainly located btw W. 14th & W. 29th sts. and btw 10th & 12th aves. A multitude of galleries can be found on W. 20th, W. 21st, W. 22nd, W. 24th, W. 25th & W. 26th sts.

SoHo. Though SoHo has ceded its title as Manhattan’s art epicenter to Chelsea, many outstanding galleries remain in this neighborhood, where the cast-iron buildings are works of art themselves. Greene & Wooster sts. and W. Broadway are important thoroughfares for the art-minded.

,

The East Village and Lower East Side.

Shops along two streets—Broadway, btw E. 10th & E. 13th sts., and E. 10th St., btw University Pl. & Broadway—specialize in fine furniture and accessories. Offbeat art exhibitors cluster on Rivington, Orchard, Eldridge and Chrystie sts., as well as on Bowery.

ABOUT SUBWAYS NYC Transit’s subway system operates 24 lines designated by either a route number or letter. Serving 468 stations along 660 miles of track, approximately 6,400 air-conditioned subway cars will take you to almost anywhere in the city faster than a taxi and at a fraction of the cost.

Subways run every 2-to-5 minutes during rush hours, 10-to-15 minutes during the day and about every 20 minutes between midnight and 5 a.m.

Signs above the platform edge tell you which trains stop there and the direction of travel. Signs on the front of the train identify the route. Subway maps are hung at stations and in every subway car.

Subway station entrances display the routes that stop there; some entrances only provide service in one direction (for example, uptown only or downtown only), so be sure you check before you pay.

Station booth agents can answer questions and sell MetroCard, NYC Transit’s electronic farecard.

Subway stations also have MetroCard Vending Machines. They accept credit/debit cards or cash.

ABOUT BUSES Approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses provide reliable service on over 300 routes to almost anywhere in the city. Bus stops are located about every two blocks on street corners and are marked by a sign pole with a bus emblem and route number.

While some buses run 24 hours a day, most operate between 5 a.m. and 2 a.m. Bus schedules and route maps are posted on most bus stops. All buses are equipped with wheelchair accessible lifts. Check the sign on the front of the bus. If you’re not sure it’s the bus you want, ask the bus operator.
