Staff Tips
New York-Don't be afraid to use the subway when shopping time is short - it's so easy and fast to get around the city. (USD2.90 per trip) Taxi's are great too but just the traffic can be a bit crazy sometimes.
Paula McMullanPersonal Travel PlannerNew York - If Jazz is your thing, then a visit to the Lincoln Center's glassy venue, Frederick P. Rose Hall, which floats five stories above Columbus Circle is definitely a must! In this complex, you can dine and hear world-class music at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, take in a show with stunning views of Central Park in The Appel Room or sit in one of the best concert halls in town in the Rose Theater.
Linda CollinsPersonal Travel PlannerNew York - If you are looking for a great breakfast in NYC cafes can be hard to come by- but checkout Penelopes, in 159 Lexington Avenue, they have a great breakfast menu including waffles, french toast and amazing buttermilk pancakes!
