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.

Annex Antiques and Flea Market

On weekends, year-round, an empty parking lot becomes one of the city’s most popular outdoor markets. A tradition for more than 30 years, some 600 dealers, from Maine to Maryland, set up booths selling clothing, silver, jewelry, furniture, art, and “junktiques” from old tools to vintage eyeglasses. Many prize antiques can be discovered at The Amex, an indoor market just around the corner at 112 West 25th Street, and at The Showplace, 40 West 26th Street, with 135 dealers on three floors.
Ansonia Hotel

This 1908 apartment-hotel included soundproof partitions, a feature that has attracted many distinguished musicians.

Apollo Theater

This theater is Harlem’s famous showcase, where Ella Fitzgerald and James Brown launched their careers.
Apthorp Apartments

Modeled after an Italian Renaissance palazzo, this luxury 1908 building includes a huge interior courtyard.
Aquagrill

Superb seafood, and in particular famous for having over twenty different kinds of Oysters from both the Atlantic and Pacific coastal waters of North America. A lively atmosphere, but attentive and prompt service ensures you never feel ignored. Highly recommended.
Arthur Avenue, Bronx

In this Italian neighborhood, dozens of small, family-run stores sell everything from Italian wines, handmade pastas, and sausages to rosaries and votive candles.
Artichoke

The best slices in Manhattan, served up in a quirky standing room only pizzeria!! Brave the lines for the signature artichoke and spinach slice - a heavy cream/butter/wine sauce on a thick crust slice - Fabulous! Or opt for the best round neopolitan and sicilian slices in Manhattan - four types of cheeses, fabulous sauce on a great crust, with fresh basil leaves cut straight on top! Everything served piping hot straight from the oven to you! It's worth the wait!

Eat the pizza the city has gone nuts over....

Asia Society

Dept. Store
AT&T Building

Built in 1922, this is a monument to excess but fun to see nevertheless. The façade is said to have more columns than any other building in the world, and the vast lobby is a forest of marble pillars. Close by at 120 Broadway, the former Equitable Building, built in 1915, is of note for another excess: the immense bulk of the building was responsible for the nation’s first skyscraper zoning regulations.
