NYC Official Visitor Guide

A Letter from the CEO of NYC & Company

Dear Friends: New York City is proud to be the nation’s most-popular big city—there is always something new and exciting to do in the five boroughs for people of all ages, from visiting world-famous landmarks and attractions to exploring special places off the beaten path. NYC is always the perfect place to do some shopping. Festive markets and fairs pop up across the City every winter and, as the world knows, we also have the flagship stores and designer boutiques that make us a fashion capital year-round. But, of course, our annual winter traditions go beyond shopping. We have the world-famous ball drop in Times Square and other celebrations, such as the Lunar New Year Parade and Festival in Chinatown, New York City Ballet’s winter season celebration of Tchaikovsky, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden and Piers 92/94, the Bronx’s New York Botanical Garden’s Orchid Show and much more. This year New York City will help host a quintessential American tradition for the first time, Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium. With countless people from around the country expected to come watch America’s greatest sporting event, we are rolling out the red carpet with a series of fan-friendly events. We are ready to show everyone that there truly is no place as diverse and exciting as New York City. For more information about what is happening here this winter, please visit nycgo.com. And once you are here, do not hesitate to stop by any of our Official NYC Information Centers. I hope you have a terrific stay in New York City. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Sincerely, George Fertitta CEO NYC & Company

NYC Essentials Fast Facts Forecast Though cold and snowy, winter is often blanketed with sunny blue skies. Spring in NYC brings budding flowers, light winds and rain. Summer offers bright, sunny, hot days, with sunset late in the evening. And the fall season is cool, crisp and a good time to wear layers. Averages follow.

Geographic Orientation The City’s five boroughs—the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island—are linked by bridges, tunnels and ferries. Manhattan is an island 13.4 miles long and 2.3 miles wide (at its widest). Except at its southern and northern tips, it has avenues running north and south, and streets running east and west. Traffic generally travels one way, going east on even-numbered streets and west on oddnumbered streets. Fifth Avenue divides Manhattan into east and west sides. Street addresses increase with their distance from Fifth Avenue, usually by 100 per block. Twenty north-south blocks equal a mile and street numbers increase as you go uptown.

Getting Here Airports There are seven airports within 30 to 90 minutes of Midtown Manhattan. Those closest to the City are JFK, LaGuardia and Newark. Transportation between airports and New York City is available via several options: taxi, bus, private car and the MTA New York City Transit system. Light-rail AirTrain links terminals at both JFK and Newark, and also provides quick service to airport parking, car rental companies and mass transit stations that connect to the City’s five boroughs.

Getting Around The MTA—NYC’s Mass Transit System The best way to get around NYC is through a combination of walking and mass transit. NYC’s subways and buses are inexpensive, operate 24/7, provide a fun way to extend sightseeing and get you where you need to go, fast. Other ways to get around include ferries and even an aerial tramway.

Getting an MTA MetroCard is your first step to navigating the City by subway or bus. You can purchase a MetroCard at any subway station from multilingual machines (which accept cash, ATM cards and credit cards) or booth attendants. Riders can choose a single-ride, multi-ride or an unlimited-ride MetroCard. If you purchase a single-ride card, the fare is $2.75 but if you purchase multiple rides on one card, the fare drops to $2.50. The unlimited MetroCard is offered at various flat rates and enables users to ride as often as they like within fixed time periods. Added discounts are given for seniors (age 65 and up) and disabled riders. Go to mta.info for updates.

The MetroCard is your pass to NYC’s mass transit system.

NYC’s subway system is the fastest way to travel long distances.

Subways & Buses The easiest—and quickest— way to travel through NYC is by subway. Subway trains operate 24/7 and are often much faster than street-level transport. For only $2.75 (for a single ride or $2.50 for a multi-ride card) you can use the system citywide and transfer at

designated stations as many times as you need, so long as you don’t exit the system through a turnstile. You can even transfer for free from bus to subway or vice versa within two hours of first swiping your MetroCard. Subway trains travel both above- and underground (most Manhattan subway stations

Bus stops dot every other corner in the City.

and routes are underground). Uptown trains head north; downtown trains head south; and crosstown trains travel east and west. Subway stations are generally 8 to 10 blocks apart. Pick up a free subway map from booth attendants or at any Official NYC Information Center. Use the map in this section of the guide to familiarize yourself with the layout of the subway system. You can also visit tripplanner.mta.info for a customized subway or bus route. (Note: Subways do not go to Staten Island from other boroughs. To get there from Manhattan, you need to board the Staten Island Ferry.) The MTA’s Staten Island Railway and buses transport visitors around the island, from the St. George Ferry Terminal in the north to Tottenville in the south.) MTA buses are excellent for reaching destinations not convenient to a subway stop. Local City buses accept MetroCards as well as exact coin change (express bus fares must be paid before boarding the bus at the bus station machine). As with the subway system, riders may pay $2.75 for a single ride, $2.50 per ride with a multi-ride card or use

an unlimited card (on local buses) to ride any distance till the end of the route. Express buses cost $6. Buses also operate 24/7 (there may be exceptions in more remote areas of the City). Waiting times vary, but usually run 10–20 minutes depending on time of day. While slow when there’s traffic, buses are great for sightseeing. Bus stops are on alternating blocks on avenue routes and on every block on crosstown routes. Late at night, from 11pm to 5am, Request-a-Stop bus service allows riders to get off the bus anywhere the driver can safely stop. Simply inform the bus driver where you want to get off.

Taxicabs NYC’s licensed, yellow taxicabs operate 24 hours, provide doorto-door service and accept cash or credit cards. To hail a taxi, stand at any curb and look for a yellow cab with an illuminated white number on top. Off-duty cabs display the illuminated words “Off Duty” on the same sign. Board and exit a cab curbside. At your hotel, the doorman can hail a cab for you (a $1 tip is customary for this service).

NYC Essentials

NYC’s ferry network is a scenic way to travel. Transportation (p. 39)

There is a minimum meter fare of $3 ($2.50 plus 50¢ New York State tax surcharge), and prices increase based on the distance and duration of the trip (assume prices are higher during peak rush-hour traffic). A variety of surcharges apply above the meter price and drivers appreciate a 15%–20% gratuity at the end of a trip. Bridge and tunnel tolls are extra (and not included in the taxi’s metered fare).

Manhattan is home to an extensive ferry system that’s great for sightseeing and taking you uptown and downtown, as well as across NYC’s rivers. The Staten Island Ferry connects Manhattan and Staten Island, while the East River Ferry links Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Governors Island.

Other Travel Modes

The City’s public transportation system is accessible to hearing and visually impaired people and wheelchair-bound passengers. Some subways have automated voices indicating stops, and all buses plus select subway stations are wheelchair accessible. In addition, many streethail taxis now accommodate wheelchairs.

Walking and public transit are easy ways to get around, but you can also travel NYC by bike, pedicab, ferry or even tramway. The community-sharing program —Citi Bike—provides 6,000 bikes at 330 street-side stations. Unlock a bike, ride, then return to any station. There are daily, weekly and annual passes. There are already more than 700 miles of greenways—linear, open spaces linking parks and communities—in NYC and more green is being added. They’re great for walking, jogging, biking and in-line skating. In addition, Times Square now offers pedestrians a car-free environment, and foot-powered pedicabs are a common sight in Midtown and the Theatre District.

Special-Needs Access

For further information about wheelchair-accessible taxicabs, call NYC’s hotline 311 (within the City) or 212 NEW YORK (if calling from outside NYC) or the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities (nyc.gov/mopd) at 212 788 2830, TTY: 212 504 4115.

Transportation

Transportation New York City is one of the easiest urban sites to navigate. Not only are many transportation choices available 24/7, but all five boroughs interconnect via an affordable mass transit system. The fastest and most inexpensive option is the energy-efficient subway system, which connects practically every NYC neighborhood. Buses, cabs, ferries and a tram are also great alternatives for visitors looking for scenic options. If you want to take in the sights at a leisurely pace, bundle up and let your feet lead the way; even in winter, walking remains a great way to explore the City. For more adventure, a helicopter ride is the most thrilling panoramic experience with up-close views of the City’s most famous attractions.

Accommodations

Accommodations New York City has so many hotel choices that you’re certain to find the perfect place to stay. Start with the location: do you want to be in Midtown near well-known attractions like Times Square and Broadway theaters or in other hip, exciting areas like Lower Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn or Long Island City, Queens? Before you book be sure to think about the types of amenities you need: the City is home to pet-friendly rooms; fully wired hotels for business travelers; and familyfriendly properties, just to name a few options. Consider staying near your favorite sights and ask about package rates and seasonal deals. Turn the page for details or visit our website for the latest information. nycgo.com/hotels

Times Square dazzles as the “crossroads of the world.”

Sightseeing & Tours On foot, aboard a double-decker bus or even inside a helicopter, there are almost as many ways to see New York City as there are things to see here. And no matter what the season or your passion, New York provides plenty of sights to excite. Whether on their own or with a guide, architecture buffs can see the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center; first-time visitors can view the City like it’s in a snow globe from Top of the Rock and the Statue of Liberty; and repeat visitors can explore lesser-known areas off the High Line or around Morningside Heights. If you’re looking for an expert’s view on New York City, try specialized tours that revolve around subjects like food and history. You’ll find many more ideas, along with money-saving discounts, in this section. nycgo.com/toursandattractions
