Food Scene
The Absolute Best Budget-Friendly Seafood in New York!!! Doing Maryland proud with lump crab cakes. Start with perfect fried smelts with garlic fries on the patio. After that, the peel-and-eat shrimp, which include a choice of sauce such as coconut-curry or ginger-butter-and-scallion, are the perfect accompaniment to the sunshine. Or go ecofriendly and get the $11 “shark and bake” sandwich.

Like Samuelsson’s other restaurant in Harlem, Red Rooster, the place is consistently packed. The crowd is mostly local, couples, families, groups of twentysomething friends, all casually sharing some rotisserie, greens, and an order or two of French fries, or meeting for a long, boozy brunch on the weekend. My usual order there is called the "Hot & Messy". It's Cornbread slathered with peanut butter, rotisserie chicken, bacon and avocado topped with a fried egg and parmesan cheese. Don't know it until you try it! :) Because this is Samuelsson, the design is a stand-out, too: Graffiti culture served as his inspiration, and Cey Adams (the founding creative director of Def Jam Recordings) created the art on the walls. There's also an interactive boom-box installation, benches covered in vintage designer textiles, and windowed garage doors — perfect for the warmer weather.

It's not that the pork ribs, the beef brisket, and the Texas hot links aren't good. It's just that the giant spice-rubbed and pit-smoked chicken wings—as toothsome an appetizer as ever was dipped into a tiny plastic cup of blue-cheese dressing and chased back with a celery stick—are such a hard act to follow. Considering the raucousness of the crowd, the hostess and the servers are surprisingly in control, like professional rodeo hands. And despite the faux-roadhouse décor, there seems to be an abundance of genuine honky-tonk women barreling about the premises, which is pretty much what you want in a barbecue joint

Amy Ruth's feels as if it has always existed. It's confident and comfortable—just as we imagine Carl Redding's grandmother, the restaurant's namesake, must have been. Redding opened his soul-food kitchen in 1998, a year after Amy Ruth passed away, and what a tribute it is to her, to her cooking and to a number of noteworthy African Americans. Order the "Rev. Al Sharpton" (fried or smothered chicken and waffles), the "Stan Hoffman & Lu Willard" (BBQ spare ribs), or any other soul-food staple: fried chicken, catfish, collard greens, ham hocks.

David Chang’s seminal, ground-breaking East Village noodle shop has arguably been the most influential restaurant to emerge from NYC this century. Stripping down service and decor while imbuing the chefs with the freedom to cook what they please has changed the way we eat. You can find Noodle Bar’s DNA at restaurants across the city and indeed the world. Momofuku Noodle Bar still offers the pork buns and ramen bowls that put the place on the map, but the menu continues to evolve seasonally.

In 127 years, little has changed at Katz's. It remains one of New York's — and the country's — essential Jewish delicatessens. Every inch of the massive Lower East Side space smells intensely of pastrami and rye loaves. The sandwiches are massive, so they are best when shared. Order at the counter, and don't forget to tip your slicer — your sandwich will be better for it.

Patsy’s serves the quintessential example of the New York Neapolitan style of pizza — cooked in a grandfathered coal oven. Founded 1933 by the late Pasquale "Patsy" Lancieri it remains seemingly untouched by the ensuing 83 years, so primal is the space and elemental the pies that issue from the battered oven. Few, if any, places provide a more lucid touchstone to old New York than this slice joint.

Directly downstairs from Red Rooster, Ginny’s used to be a community and performance space for its upstairs neighbor, but since its opening, its taken on an identity all its own. The chic, retro supper club is all mirrors, tapered columns, patterned screens, and soft lighting. The stage at the far end of the club is a busy little place: you’ll find Latin and jazz nights, and just about every genre of music you’d expect (or demand) to hear in Harlem. The well-dressed crowd is a reflection of the neighborhood, and you’ll find young and old wetting their beaks at the bar and shouting over the music. Though there are some soul food staples on the menu of small plates, you’ll see Asian and French influences as well: spiced duck breast with scallion pancakes, an artichoke croquette, steamed veal tongue buns, mushroom dumplings, and Lobster Thermidor. It’s a noisy spot, but you’ll still be able to make out all the buzz.

More than 300 million people have come to the Music Hall to enjoy stage shows, movies, concerts and special events. There's no place like it to see a show or stage a show. Everything about it is larger than life. Radio City Music Hall is the largest indoor theatre in the world. Its marquee is a full city-block long. Its auditorium measures 160 feet from back to stage and the ceiling reaches a height of 84 feet. The walls and ceiling are formed by a series of sweeping arches that define a splendid and immense curving space. Choral staircases rise up the sides toward the back wall. Actors can enter there to bring live action right into the house. There are no columns to obstruct views. Three shallow mezzanines provide comfortable seating without looming over the rear Orchestra section below. The result is that every seat in Radio City Music Hall is a good seat. For decades, America's most popular entertainers have thrilled audiences here. Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt, Liberace, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ann Margaret, Johnny Mathis, John Denver, The Count Basie Orchestra, Itzhak Perlman, Jose Carreras, Ray Charles and BB King have all appeared on the Great Stage. Today, the Music Hall continues to attract celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, the media and national life. Shows starring Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder and Riverdance pack the house. Our reopening gala features Tony Bennett, Billy Crystal, The Eurythmics, Barry Manilow, Liza Minnelli, Sting, 98 Degrees, The Radio City Rockettes...and many others. Celine Dion stars in the first solo concert following the reopening. In the past decade, Radio City has hosted the Grammy's and the Tony's, The MTV Video Music Awards and the ESPY Awards. It has been the site for TIME Magazine's celebration of its 75th year, complete with a visit from the President, and a host of benefit events. It has remained a magical place for people in the spotlight. To step out on the Great Stage of the Music Hall is to know what it is to be a star.

Originally called the King Model Homes, these 130 row houses were built between 1891-93 on four blocks in Harlem on West 138th and 139th Streets between 7th and 8th Avenues. Three different architecture firms designed different blocks: McKim, Mead and White designed the houses on the north side of West 139th; Bruce Price and Clarence S. Luce designed the south side of West 139th Street and the north side of West 138th Street; James Brown Lord designed the south side of West 138th Street. Although the original residents were white, when blacks started moving into Harlem after the First World War, these houses were renamed Strivers' Row and became home to many successful professionals, including lawyers, doctors and administrators, as well as famous Harlem residents such as composer W. C. Handy, comedian Stepin Fetchit, prizefighter Harry Wills, bandleader Fletcher Henderson, architect Vertner Tandy, Dr. Louis T. Wright, dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and pianist Eubie Blake.

Formerly the Lincoln Theater: The Lincoln served as a cinema in the 1940s and 50s, but may have had a larger seating capacity when originally presenting vaudeville and plays. Press articles indicate that the Lincoln first opened in 1915 and was the first theatre in Harlem (then a predominantly white neighborhood) to cater exclusively to a black clientele. The Lincoln had its own stock company of black actors, but earned its greatest fame in the 1920s, when it presented black vaudeville, including such headliners as Bessie Smith, Florence Mills, and Ethel Waters. For a time, the very young Fats Waller was its resident organist.

One of New York's noblest and most recognized landmarks, the Brooklyn Bridge stretches over the East River, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. A walk across its promenade—a boardwalk elevated above the roadway, shared by pedestrians, in-line skaters, and cyclists—takes about 40 minutes and delivers exhilarating views. Yes, it can get crowded. But with great eating and drinking options on either end (The Dead Rabbit in FiDi and Nom Wah in Chinatown; Grimaldi’s and Juliana’s in Dumbo), not to mention those skyline views, this traditionally touristy activity is actually worth revisiting.

Grand Central is not only the world's largest (76 acres) and the nation's busiest railway station—nearly 700,000 commuters and subway riders use it daily—but also one of the world's most magnificent, majestic public spaces. Past the glimmering chandeliers of the waiting room is the jaw-dropping main concourse, 200 feet long, 120 feet wide, and 120 feet (roughly 12 stories) high, modeled after an ancient Roman public bath. Overhead, a twinkling fiber-optic map of the constellations covers the robin's egg–blue ceiling. To admire it all with some sense of peace, avoid visiting at rush hour.

This 21-story Beaux Arts edifice once dominated midtown. Although it’s now dwarfed by other structures, when it debuted in 1902, the triangle-shaped monolith represented the threat and the thrill of modernity: Naysayers claimed it would never withstand the high winds plaguing 23rd Street, while revered photographer Alfred Stieglitz—who captured it in an iconic shot in 1903—wrote that it was “a picture of a new America still in the making.” Today, it’s possibly the least tourist-friendly New York landmark. The space above the ground-floor shops, occupied by publishing house Macmillan, is inaccessible to the public, but during office hours you can admire photos and read a few panels.

Sleep No More's presentational form is considered promenade theatre, in which the audience walks at their own pace through a variety of theatrically designed rooms, as well as environmental theatre, in which the physical location, rather than being a traditional playhouse, is an imitation of the actual setting.
