NEW YORK - different things to do
La Guardia Airport Rental Cars
New York tourist trail is a very worn. But the Big Apple does not have to be all about the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Although Most visitors spend the day touring the sites of Manhattan, or buzzing through them on a bus tour to see-it-all-in-an-hour, there are plenty of places lesser known interest out there.
So if you want to explore the other side to this frenetic, hyperactive and a little town, this is the guide to you.
Water Taxi Beach
Long Island City sits across from the island of Manhattan and is home to the Water Taxi Beach, a hot-spot started. Perched along the East River, which provides the perfect landscape to admire the famous skyline of New York. A fake beach sand has been installed along with a bar serving drinks cheaply deliberately kitsch, a beach volleyball net and plenty of seating to enjoy the experience. As www.watertaxibeach.com.
PS1
Nearby is PS1, formally known as the PS1 Contemporary Art Center. It was once a public school (hence its name) and has been reincarnated in a large art gallery with a fabulous service station which hosts the summer games. If art curator at the downtown gallery scene is over, then gradually driven installation work in the PS1 can not be for you. If I play, however, worth the short subway ride to Queens, for the people passing by as the work of art. It is at 22 Jackson Avenue at 46th Street in Queens.
Marie's Crisis
For a bit of hype, there's always Broadway, but if you want to avoid the queues and tickets of $ 100-plus, then the crisis will save the day Marie. It is a strange but wonderful pokey bar with a piano in the center. The pianist is considered a "god" here, as he struck out show tune after to tune the show, surrounded by workers weary officers shaking a bad day and would-be stars and a large part of the gay community. All they are here for a drink and sing their hearts out. Looking is fine and still very funny. Marie's Crisis on Grove Street between Bleecker Street and 7th Avenue in the West Village.
Dumbo
For art and culture with a difference, Dumbo is worth a look. An acronym for Down under the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn and this part of Brooklyn is where artists and other culture vultures go when they are priced out of Manhattan. Thanks to them, is full of galleries and a riverside park fabulous. It is a thriving community, literally under the bridge. SoHo Think before I got the attitude.
Williamsburg
Also, the smarty-pants "that bought in Williamsburg before it became gentrified would be very pleased with themselves. Eat at Diner, a tram turned brown which is a uber-cool hang-out. Along the way, Industries pop in Brooklyn, a hip shop born and raised in this county.
According to the bloggers, the L train - which runs between the East Village and B-burg (speaking as a local) - has been dubbed the hipster says. That says it all. Diner is 85 Broadway Street, Brooklyn, one block from the bridge. Brooklyn Industries is at 184 Broadway Street in the corner of Driggs.
Central Park Concert
Do not settle for a ride and tacky-step through the lungs of New York, Central Park. Make the effort to buy a ticket to a concert. At night, during the summer, worth joining the herd, converging from all directions to Rumsey Playfield. The other flock outside the small bowl of popular music are the bad guys trying to sell tickets illegally. To Rumsey field, enter 69th Street and 5th Avenue.
Day West Indian American Carnival Parade
If you are lucky to be in New York for Labor Day in September, check look to the West Indies American Day Carnival Parade. Held at the Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, local characteristics annual parade in their national costumes dancing to loud music while the audience eat piles of food. Think fried chicken delicious. While there, walk through some of the 585-acre Prospect Park and out on the other side in the fashionable district of Park Slope.
Century 21 and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine
Rent a bike to explore the next two points on opposite ends of the island of Manhattan. New York is easy to navigate and generally flat so it's perfect for some easy cycling. The shopping mecca Century 21 is located in lower Manhattan, facing east side of Ground Zero. It is a designer clothing store that sells bulk at discount prices. Go early to avoid crowds. Then travel up the length of the island, ending just before Harlem in the north end of Central Park and take a look inside the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. It is on Amsterdam Avenue near West 112 Street. The cathedral is supposed to be the largest Gothic church in the world. It is constantly being renewed, but it's worth see. Also, check out the surrounding neighborhood, including the University of Columbia.
Meat Packing District
Lastly, the dust from her clothes Sunday and hang with the beautiful people in the Meat Packing District, on a Saturday night. They are probably the most dressed, high fashion gurus you see in New York. The bars around the hotel Gansevoort seem to be where all the action. The hotel itself is also very popular among drinkers. This area is home to Soho House, private members club and hotel, presented in the last episode of Sex in New York - the one with the rooftop pool that the girls lounge around, as the program ends. It is at 29 9th Avenue. When you visit the Meat Packing District, which, ironically, used to be a poor neighborhood, have a bag full of cash.
