If you want to “feel” New York…walk through Times Square at about 10:30 pm when all of the shows are ending. The rush of people pouring into the streets after having enjoyed some of the most wonderful talent in the stage world is euphoric. The lights, the sounds, the people…this is New York. Walk through Central Park on Sunday morning. Watch the joggers (some of them famous), the elderly, the dogs and the couples reading together on their blankets. Listen to the random music coming from a musician playing for change or from a boom box on the other side of the park. Walk down Canal Street in Chinatown looking for bargains on purses, scarves and wallets. Bottom-line, just walk almost anywhere in New York City and you can feel the pulse of the city. Its diversity is incomparable. Its history is so completely rich that you could read for weeks before your visit and be amazed at all that you will learn. For movie buffs, try walking down 5th Avenue to Tiffany’s and gaze in the window like Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Have your beau carry you through a puddle by the fountain in Central Park like Michele Pfeiffer and George Clooney in “One Fine Day.” Stand over the subway grate on 52nd Street and Lexington that lifted Marilyn Monroe’s famous white dress in “Seven Year Itch.” Stand atop the Empire State Building and reminisce about “An Affair to Remember” with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr or “Sleepless in Seattle” with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. These are just a fraction of movie moments that will be brought to life in the streets of New York.
