New York City Walking
The first walk could start on the Great White Way once
you descend from the Empire State Building and head
north for a half-mile on Broadway through the heart of
the Theater District. The New York Times Newspaper,
winner of 79 Pulitzers, built its headquarters a hundred
years ago at the merge of Broadway and Seventh
Avenue: Times Square.
Music, dance, and theater rule this once gritty
intersection This slice of New York City nightlife recently
struggled through rebirth as a gleaming family
entertainment center. Good lodging nearby particularly
the moderately priced Milford Hotel will put you in the
heart of the entertainment district.
Not just Good Morning America broadcasting live each
morning while a sidewalk audience of cell phone-junkies
peers through picture windows, or David Letterman
romping through this neighborhood torturing Rupert G.
during his evening show from the Ed Sullivan Theater,
Times Square is the ESPN Zone Sports Bar hosting
every rabid fans fantasy: big screen TV game coverage
throughout, even in the lavatories; it is the Broadway
City Arcade featuring not just for kids virtual reality, and
it is the gigantic windows at Toys-R-Us welcoming kids
with a ride on the indoor Ferris wheel.

Rockefeller Center's 11-acre Art-Deco
style complex on 5th Avenue and 48th
Street, home of the Radio City Music
Hall and the Rockettes hosts one hour
NBC guided tours of the TV studios
where the Today Show, NBC Sports,
Conan's Late Night, Dateline, Nightly
News, and Saturday Night Live
broadcast.
Three blocks north to West 53rd Street
brings you to the Museum of Modern
Art's Renoir Water Lilies and Van Goh
Sunflowers.
For dining try Oceana on East 54th
Street and Madison lunch: four-star,
elegant.
Four blocks south on Madison you will
find Saint Patrick's Cathedral, built in
1858, its 330-foot spires top the largest
Gothic style cathedral in the country.
The Chrysler Building, New York's
second tallest, looms in art-Deco
extravagance seven blocks south on
Park Avenue not far from the United
Nations Headquarters and its tours of
the complex so often seen in the news.
No longer on US territory, your U. N.
guides will explain in many languages
the work done at the UN to improve the
lives of people around the world.
If you return to Broadway by cab at
dusk you'll see Times Square gleaming
as brightly as day and feel its New
Years Eve excitement again in the
brilliance of multi-story ads and blazing
billboards.

New York City
Four Walking Tours
New York's Big Apple too big
for walking?
Not when you divide the New York City into
four bite-sized pieces: Museum Mile in
uptown, the Great White Way in midtown,
Fifth Avenue Boutiques in lower midtown, and
the River Walk in lower Manhattan
Views of the city from the 86th floor of the
Empire State Building will show that you can
easily halve and quarter the Big Apple into
four simple day-space chunks during your
vacation.
Look north to the mile of museums that
cluster along Central Park while below you
shine the lights of Broadway's Great White
Way. To the south, Fifth Avenue touches the
Flatiron and Little Italy, and further south, the
Riverwalk beneath the Brooklyn Bridge leads
to the meeting of the East and Hudson Rivers
at Battery Park and the ferry for the Statue of
Liberty.

New York City Dining
Enough glitter, a short cab ride down 7th will
take you to the landmark Carnegie Deli noted
for its Pastrami and Cheesecake. Too
Plebeian, take Broadway to the Trump Tower on
the southwest corner of Central Park and end
your day at one of only six New York restaurants
consistently worthy of four stars and a place on
a special New York Times "extraordinary" list:
Jean Georges: French dining in an exquisite
setting.
The next day's walking tour, the Museum Mile,
starts at 843-acre Central Park, designed in
1858 by Fredrick Law Olmstead and Calvert
Vaux. Offering 58 miles of pedestrian, bike, and
rollerblade paths with nature centers, a pond
with Gondola rides, a wildlife center, a
strawberry field memento to John Lennon, a
zoo, and a carousel with 58 hand-carved
horses, the park also offers the Museum Mile:
natural history, photography and art museums
that would take days to explore.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art stands above
all the rest with its Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and
American Art and its extensive collection of
Impressionist and European paintings. Unable
to see the entire two million pieces, take a
romantic afternoon interlude: wine and cheese
on the Met's rooftop patio with a splendid view
of Central Park.
Also on the border of the park, the American
Museum of Natural History and its Hayden
Planetarium, the International Center of
Photography, The Jewish Museum, the Whitney
Museum of American Art, the Frick Museum, the
Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and the Frank Lloyd
Wright designed Guggenheim Museum.
