New-York Historical Society
Launched in 1804, the New-York Historical Society is a major repository of American history, culture, and art, with a special focus on New York and its broader cultural significance. The grand neoclassical edifice near the Museum of Natural History is finally emerged from the renovation tent. Now open on the fourth floor is the Henry Luce III Center for the Study of American Culture, a state-of-the-art study facility and gallery of fine and decorative arts, which displays more than 40,000 objects amassed over 200 years -- including paintings, sculpture, Tiffany lamps, textiles, furniture, even carriages -- that had previously been in storage for decades. Also look for paintings from Hudson River School artists Thomas Cole, Asher Durand, and Frederic Church, including Cole's five-part masterpiece, The Course of Empire. Of particular interest to scholars and ephemera buffs are the extensive Library Collections, which include books, manuscripts, maps, newspapers, photographs, and more documents chronicling the American experience. (An appointment may be necessary to view some or all of the Library Collections, so call ahead.)The highly acclaimed exhibit History Responds, which dealt with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and their aftermath, began in 2002 and will continue through 2004.An extensive, top-quality calendar of public programs runs the gamut from family story hours to Irving Berlin music nights to lectures by such luminaries as Ric Burns and Susan Sontag to expert-led walks through various Manhattan neighborhoods; call or check the website for the schedule.
New York City Fire Museum
Housed in a real three-story 1904 firehouse, the former quarters of FDNY Engine Co. 30, this museum houses one of the country's most extensive collections of fire-service memorabilia from the 18th century to the present. It is also the best place to pay tribute to the 343 heroic firefighters who lost their lives just blocks away in the World Trade Center disaster. Expect ongoing changing exhibits relating to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack. Other displays range from vintage fire marks to firetrucks (including the last-known example of a 1921 pumper) to the gear and tools of modern firefighters. Also look for leather hoses, fireboats, and Currier & Ives prints, plus a new exhibit on fire safety and burn prevention especially geared to families. Best of all, real firefighters are almost always on hand to share stories and fire-safety information with kids. The retail store sells authorized FDNY logo wear and souvenirs. Call ahead for details on scheduling a guided tour.
Empire State Building
It took 60,000 tons of steel, 10 million bricks, 2.5 million feet of electrical wire, 120 miles of pipe, and 7 million man-hours to build. King Kong climbed it in 1933. A plane slammed into it in 1945. The World Trade Center superseded it in 1970 as the island's tallest building. And in 1997, a gunman ascended it to stage a deadly shooting. On that horrific day of September 11, 2001, it once again regained its status as New York City's tallest building, after 31 years of taking second place. And through it all, the Empire State Building has remained one of the city's favorite landmarks, and its signature high-rise. Completed in 1931, the limestone-and-stainless steel streamline deco dazzler climbs 102 stories (1,454 ft.) and now harbors the offices of fashion firms, and, in its upper reaches, a jumble of high-tech broadcast equipment.Always a conversation piece, the Empire State Building glows every night, bathed in colored floodlights to commemorate events of significance -- red, white, and blue for Independence Day; green for St. Patrick's Day; red, black, and green for Martin Luther King Day; blue and white for Hanukkah; even lavender and white for Gay Pride Day (you can find a complete lighting schedule online). The familiar silver spire can be seen from all over the city.The best views, and what keeps the nearly 3 million visitors coming every year, are the ones from the 86th- and 102nd-floor observatories. The lower one is best -- you can walk out on a windy deck and look through coin-operated viewers (bring quarters!) over what, on a clear day, can be as much as an 80-mile visible radius. The citywide panorama is magnificent. One surprise is the flurry of rooftop activity, an aspect of city life that thrives unnoticed from our everyday sidewalk vantage point. The higher observation deck is glass-enclosed and cramped.Light fog can create an admirably moody effect, but it goes without saying that a clear day is best. Dusk brings the most remarkable views and the biggest crowds. Consider going in the morning, when the light is still low on the horizon, keeping glare to a minimum. Starry nights are pure magic.In your haste to go up, don't rush through the beautiful three-story-high marble lobby without pausing to admire its features, which include a wonderful streamline mural.Empire State Building Ticket-Buying--Lines can be horrible at the concourse-level ticket booth, so be prepared to wait -- or consider purchasing advance tickets online using a credit card at www.esbnyc.com. You'll pay slightly more -- tickets were priced $1 higher on the website at press time -- but it's well worth it, especially if you're visiting during busy seasons, when the line can be shockingly long. You're not required to choose a time or date for your tickets in advance; they can be used on any regular open day. However, order them well before you leave home, because only regular mail is free. Expect them to take 7 to 10 days to reach you (longer if you live out of the country). Overnight delivery adds $15 to your total order. With tickets in hand, you're allowed to proceed directly to the second floor -- past everyone who didn't plan as well as you did!Remember: Advance purchase of a CityPass, will also get you admission to the Empire State Building, plus five other major attractions.
The Lombardy
If the Sherry-Netherland sounds divine but you just can't afford it, book into the lovely Lombardy instead. This mostly suite hotel was built in the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies, and it still feels like a grand New York apartment house. In fact, just like at the Sherry, the apartments are individually owned, individually decorated co-ops, which gives you the best of both worlds: genuine luxury apartment living, plus a full spectrum of hotel services.While studios are available, the one-bedroom suites are far superior in both size and decor. Decor runs the gamut from classic to contemporary. The one-bedrooms average 850 square feet, and almost all have been gorgeously renovated in recent years. Studios often fall short in the style department; still, they offer a lot of space and comfort for your dollar, since they're roughly twice the size of your average hotel room, and owners are required to keep them up to snuff. All apartments have fully outfitted galley kitchens; all have fridges and microwaves, most have coffeemakers, and many have stovetops and/or dishwashers. Bathrooms are usually marble and always very nice, but not large (a vestige of the building's age); closets, on the other hand, are mammoth.The hotel is beautifully run by a longtime general manager and fabulously attentive white-gloved staff who are fiercely committed to this jewel of a hotel.
Hotel Beacon
Ideally located in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, only a few blocks from Lincoln Center, Central Park, and the Museum of Natural History, the Beacon is one of the best values in town, especially for families. You'll get more style and state-of-the-art comforts at the Excelsior and better service at the Lucerne, but the Beacon will give you space. Every generously sized room features a kitchenette, a roomy closet, and a new marble bathroom. The Beacon won't win any personality awards, but management is conscientious and constantly renovating; rooms were freshly done in 1999 with muted florals and plush linens, and hallway redos were being completed at press time. Virtually all standard rooms feature two double beds, and they're plenty big enough to sleep a family on a budget. The large one- and two-bedroom suites are some of the best bargains in the city; each has two closets and a pullout sofa in the well-furnished living room. The two-bedrooms have a second bathroom, making them well outfitted enough to house a small army. There's no room service, but with gourmet markets such as Zabar's and Fairway nearby, cooking is an attractive alternative; plenty of restaurants are in the immediate area. A self-serve laundromat is another fab family-friendly extra.
The Westin New York At Times Square
One of the newest additions to the Times Square landscape is this happy, welcome paradox: a high-tech, high-style, high-rise with a warm, yet quirky, personality. The warmth comes from the inside, from the extra-attentive staff, but the quirkiness is outside, realized in its odd, wavy exterior. The 10-color, mostly copper and blue, glass edifice looks more like a transplant from Miami Beach than something familiar to the New York City terrain. No wonder -- the hotel was designed by the Miami-based architectural firm Arquitectonica. And if that isn't enough to distinguish itself, the hotel also boasts a beam of light that rises through an atrium, then up to the top of the 45-story tower and into the already well-illuminated sky of Times Square.Though style is big here, there's plenty of substance, too. The rooms are spacious, with the Club Rooms and Suites being the biggest. All feature the same amenities, including Westin's truly celestial Heavenly Bed -- a custom Simmons Beautyrest pillow-top mattress set dressed in layer upon layer of fluffy down and crisp white linen -- and the signature Heavenly Bath, featuring the luxurious two-head shower. The hotel is located on very busy Eighth Avenue, taking up the block between 42nd and 43rd streets; rooms facing 42nd Street and Eighth can be loud. The hotel also features a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, but surprisingly, there is a fee for guests to use the facility.Facilities: Restaurant; bar; 2,500-sq.-ft. fitness center and spa ($10 per day, $30 per week); concierge and theater desk; business center; room service; dry cleaning/laundry service; currency exchange; internal access to E Walk, a 200,000-sq.-ft. entertainment and retail complex featuring a 13-movie theater.
