"NYC: Everyday, Something new." Top 5 Page for this destination New York City by cjg1

What do you say about the greatest town in the world? Just like the show business theres no place like it. No place I know.

Most of my experiences in this city are an extension of the explorer in me. I enjoy going out and just finding new things. Although I love to read travel books and own a couple guidebooks for the city most of my finds are by random chance and word of mouth. Mostly these are restaurants and bar/lounges, the real focus of my travel pages and life.

Everyone knows the tourist sites. And I could easily fill this page with tips of the usual things. But it is the food and entertainment tips I treasure the most. I of course go to more places than these. Will add more as I can. I recognize that it is hard to read through large pages. VT sadly does not break down the city any lower into neighborhoods other than Greenwich Village and Chinatown. Author’s order or newest tips are the way to see these pages. You will find great places on each page but I try to put the best tips upfront before you get bored of page after page.

New York is constantly changing; what was here today is gone tomorrow. New restaurants spring up where old favorites were and sometimes the favorites hold on to live some more. It's nice that some places remain a constant fixture and no matter what are always there as a comfort.

It is truly a shame in my eyes that the events of September 11, 2001 have become a tourist attraction here in New York. I hope everyone who comes and has to go see the WTC site does so but with the right mind set. There are much better places to buy the trinkets and all that are sold on the street down there. Or better yet take one picture and then use the money to give to one of the many legitimate charities that are there for supporting the families of victims.

• Pros:Its NYC
• Cons:I get no miles for coming here.
• In a nutshell:There is no place like it.....
