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.

Bryant Park

Adjacent to the New York Public Library, this park is a relief from the city. In the spring and summer there is an outdoor "reading room" on the north (42nd St.) side of the park- a few carts of books and reserved tables. Walking along the tree lined paths is a relief from the city at almost any time of year. Finally, it has free wireless- a rarity.
Bubby's

I haven't actually been here but its been recommended by a friend as a good place to go for brunch after a hard morning's shopping in Soho!
Burger joint at Le Parker Meridian

For possibly the best burger in New York head to one of the best kept secrets - the Burger Joint in the Parker Meridian Hotel.

The Burger Joint is an address for those in the know and is a well hidden room in the lobby of this hotel concealed behind a black curtain. you almost feel you need a password to enter, but when you disappear behind the curtain its another world.

A small room with a few booths and tables the menu is short and to the point but fab - hamburger or chesseburger, fries, milkshakes, soda, water or beer. but for around $15 bucks its a bargain for a real New york burger and experience.

A true NY find - so shhh don't tell everyone!
Cafe Asean

Cafe Asean is a low-key pan-Asian restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. With its funky low-lit decor, friendly service, reasonable prices and varied offering of delicious Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese and other Asian cuisines, it's one of my absolute favorite little spots in NYC. Espeically lovely in warmer weather when the back patio is open and illuminated by candles. Not to be missed!
Café du Soleil

Capsouto Freres

Tucked away on Washington Street in TrBeCa, Capsouto Freres is a gorgeous French bistro, with an excellent menu and very reasonable prices. The house special is the assortment of dessert souffles, which are justifiably acclaimed by those in the know. Service is prompt and friendly, while the mixture of wood floors with clean overall lines makes the atmosphere crisp and welcoming. Well worth a visit if you're looking to treat yourself or someone else.
Carnegie Deli

Don't leave New York without visiting Carnegie Deli. This favorite Jewish deli serves up the best (and biggest) corned beef sandwiches and New York Cheesecakes in the world! Literally! Bring your patience and your appetite as the lines are long and the portions are enormous. Its worth the wait-the food is fantastic, and a trip to New York isn't complete without over-indulging in one of New York's most famous dishes.
Central Park

I always bicycle or jog here!
Central Park

The masterwork of Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, Central Park, like a Coor and Crenshaw course, was simply built according to the land.
