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.

Kamwo Herb and Tea

One of the better-known shops offering Chinese herbs said to cure anything from arthritis to impotence. Ginseng is available in teas or supplement form.
Katz’s Delicatessen

Savor a pastrami sandwich on rye here, and you’ll understand why New York delis are famous.
Keko Cafe

Keko is probably the one place in NYC where you can order your food and drinks in any of about half a dozen languages - and talk to your table neighbors in as many languages as well! A cozy European style cafe with a Middle Eastern twist, Keko usually has soccer showing on TV and lively world music playing through its sound speakers. You'll easily forget that you are in the middle of a busy Manhattan neighborhood!
King Cole Bar and Lounge

Maxfield Parrish’s famous mural of Old King Cole, rich mahogany paneling, and sumptuous seating set the stage for New York’s most famous hotel bar, which has only been admitting women since 1950. Lush, luxurious, and very expensive, the soft piano music sets a mood that makes it easy to clinch a deal or spark a romance.
Kirna Zabete

An upscale lifestyle store popular with fashion editors, celebrities and stylists. Kirna Zabete casually blends luxury items in every category: clothing, jewelry, home, baby, pet and candy. Perfect if you're looking for something a bit different from New Yorks big department stores.
Kitchen 22

Top chef Charlie Palmer delivers a bargain prix-fixe menu in a stylish venue that draws a hip crowd.
Kleins of Monticello

One of the most attractive shops on the block offers well-tailored business and casual wear by American and European designers.
Knitting Factory

This multilevel complex has four bars and four performance spaces, the variety drawing an eclectic crowd to TriBeCa. The café and the bars, serving microbrew beers, are popular spots.
Kum Gang San

The place to sample Korean stews, noodle dishes, or do-it-yourself Korean barbecue cooked at the table. Meals begin with Panchan , small dishes of hot and cold, sweet and sour foods.
La Bonne Soupe

Midtown’s best bet for onion soup, fondue, and other bistro specialties.
