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.

Grant's Tomb

Ulysses S. Grant, a civil war general and two-term US president, rests beside wife Julia, in the largest US mausoleum. Modelled after Napoleon's tomb in Paris. Memorabilia and artefacts, free admission.
Ground Zero Museum Workshop

Hands on tour of the future site of the museum, with photography collections and artefacts. Advanced purchase of tickets required.
Hard Rock Cafe

Set right in Times Square, this is your perfect opportunity to bathe in Manhattan's most illuminating nightime spot. Grab a good old american meal, sample one, two or a few delicious cocktails AND keep the glass. Not to mention the ever-changing collection of legendary rock memorabillia. Finally, you can fall out onto the street at a later hour into what seems like sunlight, and enjoy some of the shops that never seem to sleep. NB. Best visited in the evening, and needn't take a large chunk out of a short city break.

I've never been but its been recommended and its website says:

Marco Canora's menu features classical dishes that have been given a contemporary spin. Whether exotic or familiar, the ingredients are allowed to speak for themselves in an uncontrived manner. Have a look at some of our signature dishes.

The menu changes daily, with more comprehensive revisions seasonally. All of the dishes are composed and within each dish is a focus on one item, be it protein or vegetable. Marco riffs on that foodstuff; for instance, on his pork dish, he presents the loin, the belly and a homemade sausage.

Another common thread is the use of true Italian cooking techniques which are often sacrificed in modern restaurants in favor of easy fixes and culinary shortcuts.
