DK Travel : New York

With its skyscrapers, great museums, and bright lights of Broadway, New York is a city of superlatives. There are countless sights that have to be seen, but a handful are truly definitive of the city. These highlights illustrate the very best.

Cotton Club

Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway are long gone, and the location has changed, but the famous club of the 1920s is currently making a comeback.
Cowgirl Bar

This bar is a truly kitsch experience with cowboy wallpaper, deer heads on the wall and even a twinkling starry night sky.
Craftbar

Tom Collichio’s scaled-down version of Craft next door still gives diners the chance to create their own menus but at cheaper prices.
Crobar

Built from scratch, this mega club is an offshoot of a Miami hotspot.
Cunard Building

Brass doors and wrought iron gates lead into a U.S. Post Office in one of New York’s grandest interiors; a Great Hall with murals, frescoes and an elaborate domed ceiling. It was once the ticket office for the Queen Mary and Cunard’s other great ocean liners.
Da Nico

A rustic setting and a wonderful courtyard garden make this family-run restaurant with 16 kinds of pizza a favorite.
Da Silvano

Watch the celebrities come and go from a table outside. The northern Italian fare here is consistent, and the buzz even better.
Da Umberto

Popular over the years for sophisticated Tuscan fare and a long list of daily specials.
Dahesh Museum of Art

A private collection of 2,000 works of 19th- and 20th-century art.
Daily Chow

A big Pan-Asian diner offering specialties from all of Asia and potent cocktails in the busy bar.
