Bronx Zoo Wildlife Conservation Park
Founded in 1899, the Bronx Zoo is the largest metropolitan animal park in the United States, with more than 4,000 animals living on 265 acres, and one of the city's best attractions.One of the most impressive exhibits is the Wild Asia Complex. This zoo-within-a-zoo comprises the Wild Asia Plaza education center; Jungle World, an indoor re-creation of Asian forests, with birds, lizards, gibbons, and leopards; and the Bengali Express Monorail (open May-Oct), which takes you on a narrated ride high above free-roaming Siberian tigers, Asian elephants, Indian rhinoceroses, and other nonnative New Yorkers (keep your eyes peeled -- the animals aren't as interested in seeing you). The Himalayan Highlands is home to some 17 extremely rare snow leopards, as well as red pandas and white-naped cranes. The 6 1/2-acre Congo Gorilla Forest is home to Western lowland gorillas, okapi, red river hogs, and other African rainforest animals.The Children's Zoo (open Apr-Oct) allows young humans to learn about their wildlife counterparts. Kids can compare their leaps to those of a bullfrog, slide into a turtle shell, climb into a heron's nest, see with the eyes of an owl, and hear with the acute ears of a fox. There's also a petting zoo. Camel rides are another part of the summertime picture, as is the Butterfly Zone and the Skyfari aerial tram (each an extra $2 charge).If the natural settings and breeding programs aren't enough to keep zoo residents entertained, they can always choose to ogle the 2 million annual visitors. But there are ways to beat the crowds. Try to visit on a weekday or on a nice winter's day. In summer, come early in the day, before the heat of the day sends the animals back into their enclosures. Expect to spend an entire day here -- you'll need it.
The Jewish Museum
Housed in a Gothic-style mansion renovated in 1993 by AIA Gold Medal winner Kevin Roche, this wonderful museum now has the world-class space it deserves to showcase its remarkable collections, which chronicle 4,000 years of Jewish history. The two-floor permanent exhibit, Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey, tells the story of the Jewish experience from ancient times through today, and is the museum's centerpiece. Artifacts include daily objects that might have served the authors of the books of Genesis, Psalms, and Job, and a great assemblage of intricate Torahs. A wonderful collection of classic TV and radio programs is available for viewing through the Goodkind Resource Center (as any fan of television's Golden Age knows, its finest comic moments were Jewish comedy). The scope of the exhibit is phenomenal, and its story an enlightening -- and intense -- one. A new random-access audio guide is geared to families (free with admission). In addition to the in-house shop, don't miss the Jewish Museum Design Shop, housed in the adjacent brownstone.
Museum of Arts and Design
Formerly called the American Craft Museum, this small but aesthetically pleasing museum is the nation's top showcase for contemporary crafts. The collection focuses on objects that are prime examples of form and function, ranging from jewelry to baskets to vessels to furniture. You'll see a strong emphasis on material as well as craft, whether it be fiber, ceramics, or metal. Special exhibitions can range from expressionist clay sculpture to fine bookbinding, and can celebrate movements or single artisans. Or just take your chances and stop in -- you're unlikely to be disappointed. Stop into the gorgeous shop even if you don't make it into the museum .
Affinia Dumont
After a $15-million renovation in 2003, the former Dumont Plaza Hotel reopened as the all-suite Affinia Dumont and is probably New York's only fitness-focused suite hotel. Here, instead of those basic New York City guide magazines stocked in the rooms, you get a choice of Sports Illustrated, Shape, or Men's Fitness. Plus, when you book a room, you can request a complimentary "Fit Kit" that will be prepared based on your needs for an in-room workout. But you might want to venture out and to the hotel's terrific fitness spa, complete with all the most advanced weights, cardio equipment, and massage and skin treatments. You might even bump into a few gap-toothed hockey players in town to play the Rangers, or 7-foot, 6-inch basketball player Yao Ming, who had a bed custom-made for his extra-long frame. But even if you don't want to break a sweat during your stay, the hotel features amenities that make it a very attractive option. The spacious suites range from studios to two-bedrooms, and all include full kitchens, at least one 27-inch TV, a large desk with an ergonomic chair, the "Affinia Bed," with a custom-designed mattress and four-selection "pillow menu," and a minibar stocked with unusual options, such as health elixirs with names like Depth Recharger or Virtual Buddha. The hotel is a bit away from the center of Midtown, but still within easy walking distance to Herald Square shopping, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, and Grand Central Station, making it a very welcome addition to the hotel scene.
The Mansfield
A bit pricier than it should be, the impeccably maintained Mansfield softens the blow with frequent discount deals, freebies such as all-day cappuccino and cookies and bottled water, and a heart-of-theater-and-sightseeing location.Rooms are smallish, but they boast a welcoming blend of period style and modern comforts. Nice design touches include ebony-stained floors covered with natural-fiber rugs, wood Venetian blinds, and well-made beds with gorgeous Belgian linens and metal-mesh headboards that recall Victorian sleigh beds. The nicely renovated, generally good-size marble-and-stainless steel bathrooms sport limestone counters and Frette robes. About 50% of the rooms lack closets, but brilliant built-in solutions conceal the wall racks that most hotels don't bother to hide. The tiny standards are best for only a night or 2, so try to upgrade if you're staying longer.Off the lobby is a romantic lounge with a wood-burning fireplace and a slate of international newspapers. M Bar is a swanky library-style lounge that's an attraction in its own right, with a first-rate cocktail bar and a very popular weekly Wednesday jazz night.
Union Square Inn
Situated a stone's throw east of Union Square, on the fringe of the energetic East Village, this unassuming little hotel is a welcome addition to the budget hotel scene. Rooms here aren't quite as cheap as those at its sister hotel, the Murray Hill Inn, but comforts are better quality; every room has a private bathroom, and everything feels fresh and new. Four standard rooms are tiny twins with trundle beds, and a handful in the deluxe category are spacious rooms with two double beds that can accommodate more than two if necessary. Most fall in the moderate category, with one double bed and little room to spare. All rooms boast quality mattresses and bedding, and pretty Italian-tile bathrooms. On the downside, the rooms lack views, open wall racks substitute for closets, most bathrooms have showers only, halls are narrow, and there's no elevator -- but those are minimal sacrifices considering the low prices. Services are virtually nonexistent in order to keep costs down, but everything you'll need -- from restaurants to dry cleaners to a slate of subway lines -- is right at hand in the hip, central-to-everything location.
