New York

Welcome to The New York MetroGuide service, your source for information on the Greater New York area. The New York MetroGuide is a member of the MetroGuide Network, a collection of information sites, all using a similar interface, for major metropolitan areas worldwide.

Greater New York -- America's largest city, economic powerhouse of the world and the so-called Big Apple -- also reigns as a quintessential capital of entertainment and the arts, where it's a given that "if you can't find it here, you can't find it anywhere."

Savvy visitors are learning what natives already know: It's not necessary to spend a fortune for good times in New York. The city brims with no-cost or low-cost pleasures including concerts, plays, museum exhibitions and tours throughout all five boroughs. Top museums offer "pay what you wish" on selected evenings: The Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Jewish Museum and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. "Pay what you wish" runs daily at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Cloisters and the American Museum of Natural History. New York City always has something new, even among old favorites. The Museum of Modern Art's Midtown Manhattan building reopened after renovation doubled its size, with digital surround sound in lower level theaters. Inside CNN, New York City's newest public attraction, has opened in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. Underscoring that the Big Apple provides more than adult fare, Miffy, the global bunny sensation, is the focus of Miffy Loves New York City!, a children's picture book featuring her adventure with parents, visiting 30 prominent, family-friendly landmarks.
