Take a Bite of the Big Apple at the VEITHsymposium

 

New York City is a global destination renowned for its unparalleled variety of things to do and see to match all tastes and interests. In your time between and after the VEITHsymposium sessions, you can enjoy a Broadway show, take in some of the city’s famous museums, go on a shopping spree, or dine at some of the best restaurants in the world. Whether with family or on your own, there is something for everyone.

For a quick look at current entertainment and dining options, pick up a copy of TimeOut New York or visit www.timeout.com/newyork, where you’ll find current listings for what is playing at theaters off and on Broadway as well as live music, special events, shopping, fine dining, and more.

On Broadway this season, theater lovers may find a more eclectic choice than usual, from the Shakespeare-lite farce of “Something Rotten,” to “The Front Page” revival with Nathan Lane, Chekhov’s classic “The Cherry Orchard,” and the family-friendly “Matilda.” Some highly popular old-standards, “Cats,” Fiddler on the Roof,” and “Chicago,” are among a host of other choices. If you want to see “Hamilton,” you’ll have to stick around until at least May 2017 to get tickets.

For a more comprehensive listing of Broadway and off-Broadway shows, visit www.Broadway.com.

For the sports fan, you can find a complete online calendar listing of sporting events that are going during the VEITHsymposium (www.nycgo.com/things-to-do/events-in-nyc/sports-calendar). Pick up the New York Knicks basketball team playing the Detroit Pistons on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden. College basketball will also be featured at the Garden with the Champions Classic on Nov. 15.

If you’re a classical music enthusiast, you should make time to attend a performance at Lincoln Center (www.lincolncenter.org), which plays host to the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera. During the VEITHsymposium, the operas “Aida,” “La Boheme,” and “Manon Lescaut” are all being performed.

And for the forever young crowd, Billy Joel is in concert at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 19.

No matter where your music tastes lie, for the most up-to-date accounting of musical performances in the city, pick up a copy of the free weekly newspaper, the Village Voice, or visit it online (www.villagevoice.com).

For your exercise pleasure and a literal change of pace, there are a number of interesting walking tours available, including ones that amble through the historic lower East Side, the Metropolitan Opera, and Broadway theaters (www.walksofnewyork.com).

The New York food scene is both vast and varied, so to choose your dining from fine to fun, you can visit the venerable New York Times website (www.nytimes.com/reviews/dining) to plan your eating experience by rating, price, neighborhood, and choice of cuisine.

You will find several notable museums and landmarks within a few blocks of the VEITHsymposium. The Museum of Modern Art is the closest to the New York Hilton Midtown, at 11 West 53rd St., between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. MoMA houses more than 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a bit farther away (1000 Fifth Ave. at 82nd St.). The holdings include 2 million works spanning 5,000 years of art history from around the world from Egyptian mummies to Rembrandts and Picassos.

The American Museum of Natural History is on the Upper West Side of Central Park (at 79th St.) and has something for museum goers of all ages: dinosaurs, fossils, stuffed specimens, minerals, gems, and human cultural artifacts.

The memorial at the site of the World Trade Center towers stands witness to a national tragedy and to the spirit of the people of New York. The names of nearly 3,000 men, women, and children killed in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Feb. 26, 1993, are inscribed on the parapets surrounding the two memorial pools (www.911memorial.org/visit).

In addition the famous Central Park, don’t overlook the less-noted Bryant Park (between 40th and 42nd Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues), which offers an opportunity to do some holiday shopping at the annual Holiday Shops fair. This outdoor, European-style market features everything from handcrafted items to gourmet treats.

If you’re a first-time visitor, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island remain the must-see symbols of New York. Be prepared for long lines to get to the top of the Empire State Building (www.esbnyc.com). Dress warmly for the ferry ride from Battery Park (www.statuecruises.com) to the Statue of Liberty.

Above all, while you’re at the VEITHsymposium, be sure that you and your guests enjoy some of the many pleasures that New York has to offer. It’s your kind of town.
