t's the big apple, Sex and the city, yellow cabs, skyscrapers, Wall Street, Studio 54, yes this is metropolis, this is THE one city, the one and only real city. Everything is fast, everybody is fast...the city wants to be discoverd by day and night, every day of the year and especially during Christmas time with its thousands of dizzying, luminous lights. Visit the iconic Empire State Building (save time and get a "Fast Track" to pass the waiting line), Lady liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History (great fun for the whole family), Times Square, Lincoln Center, Rockefeller Center (rent skates at Christmas time) or have a "picnic" in the Central Park, where Kevin "Home alone lost in New York" got lost; shop in upscale Madison and Fifth Avenue, Lower East Side or in the upcoming Meatpacking district with its uber-cool new Standard Hotel, eat at Thomas Keller's Per Se, brunch at Pastis or have a drink at Rose Bar. You will be back for sure!
