If you're new to NYC and ready to shop, go to where the models are - check out bustling Broadway and West Broadway in Soho for a long strip of shopping opportunities. South of Houston Street (that's where the neighborhood SoHo got its name) the stores begin, with something for everyone - for the yuppie/chic but affordable crowd: Banana Republic, Armani Exchange, J. Crew, Prada (coming soon) and more... for the young and trendy, stores offering urban & hiphop styles, such as Canal Jeans and Rat Bastard, as well as Old Navy, Eddie Bauer, and the list just goes on... 3 blocks west on the somewhat calmer West Broadway, you'll find Diesel and slightly higher prices. For less mainstream, slightly hipper clothing, many small stores exist on the nearby Greene, Mercer, and Lafayette Sts.

Si viajas a NY, debes visitar Montauk para darte cuenta de que NY no es sólo ruidos, edificios y vida acelerada. En el extremo oriental de Long Island, Montauk es un lugar tranquilo, con un estilo singular, y playas inmensas, que te dejarán un recuerdo diferente de NY, o al menos, un paréntesis de paz imborrable. Una puesta de sol desde el faro de Montauk Point bien vale la visita, así como el Montauk State Park, los paseos por las calles mirando antigüedades, o simplemente, una buena caminata por las playas.

Billed as the birthplace of baseball AND Frank Sinatra, Hoboken is the hippest New York suburb not actually in New York. Located just across the Hudson River from Midtown Mahattan, and easily accessible by PATH trains and ferries, Hoboken has emerged as a real contender for the coolest place to be found in the NYC area. With a plethora of restaurants and bars along Washington Street, and an overwhelmingly sub-35 demographic, this is the place that Greenwich Village always aspired to be.

Don't be stuck in the past: Though Brooklyn was once a borough struck (and still sometimes does strike) fear into the hearts of tourists and NYC natives alike, given a negative reputation in the 80s, this has been unfortunate, simply because too many people have been missing out on the beautiful things Brooklyn has to offer. Brooklyn Heights is one such beauty. With flagstone streets, brownstones that are hundreds of years old, a gardened promenade that looks out at the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan Skyline, and excellent new restaurants such as Noodle Pudding and Tinto, Brooklyn Heights is a beautiful stop on any visit to NYC. Getting there is easy - you can take numerous subway lines, but it's prettier and more fun to walk (or drive) over the stone architectural masterpiece, the Brooklyn Bridge, which links lower Manhattan to Brooklyn Heights. Feel free to continue your walking tour down Henry Street or the newly developed, hip Smith Street into Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Park Slope which can be done in less than two hours, or longer if you choose to explore the shops and historic side streets, as you should.

It is located in Brooklyn, in the north west part of the borough. It is very close to Queens. This neighborhood offers lots of enjoyment. It is full of artist and young people. It is getting more and more hip but still resistant to loose the charming feeling of creative and demanding habitants. You can find art galleries, nice and hip clothing stores, restaurants of different world cuisines and a bar/cinema.

Soho stands for "South of Houston," Tribeca stands for "Triangle Beneath Canal," and then there is Nolita: "North of Little Italy." Extremely cool little fashion boutiques have sprouted up in the last couple of years and so the real estate people gave it a name so as to make more money. But the area definitely is distinctive enough to merit its own name.

Soho is full of galleries showing a vast range of artists, with new shows going up every week. Pick up the Gallery Guide, free from most galleries, and check out the shows. i especially recommend David Zwirner gallery on Greene St. between Grand and Broome. also, show openings are a good chance to meet people and sample free wine. :)

Korea Town is on and around 34th St. the restaurants serve good food, but completely lack ambience (fluorescent lights! ). some nice clothes stores and karaoke - get a Korean person to guide u to all the good places. but try "Soju" - a Korean liquor. like vodka, but tastes smoother and better. MUCH better than sake, in my humble opinion!

Check out East Village - Houston St. to 14th St., eastwards from 3rd Avenue. a laid-back atmosphere, and some of the best bars/ cafes / restaurants (esp. down Ave. A)
