Stake Your Claim on a Wonderful Town
New York City is indeed a wonderful town, just as the famous Betty Comden/Adolph Green lyrics proclaim. The metropolis is synonymous with excitement and remains a global destination renowned for its unparalleled variety of things to do and see.
So, in your time before and after the VEITHsymposium sessions, be sure to take in some of the city’s famous museums, go on a shopping spree, enjoy a Broadway show, or simply dine at some of the best restaurants in the world. Whether you are with family or on your own, there is something for everyone in this great city.
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 will find an even more eclectic choice than usual, from the Tony Award-winning “Dear Evan Hansen,” to the “Hello Dolly” revival with Bette Midler, the Patti LuPone/Christine Ebersole diva-off “War Paint,” and the family-friendly “The Lion King” and “Aladdin.” Some highly popular old-standards, “Cats,” “Miss Saigon,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Wicked,” and “Chicago,” are among a host of other choices. And, if you still want to see “Hamilton,” after waiting more than a year, tickets are now available, but range anywhere from $285+ to above $1,000, and that’s without Lin-Manuel Miranda. (Or you can always go and see the off-broadway spoof “Spamilton,” for $69, instead.)

Sports fans can find a complete online calendar listing of sporting events that are going during the VEITHsymposium at www.nycgo.com/things-to-do/events-in-nyc/sports-calendar. Pick up the New York Knicks basketball team playing the Utah Jazz on Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden. College basketball will also be featured at the Garden with the 2K Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project on Nov. 16 and 17. The New York Rangers hockey team will be playing Ottawa at the Garden on Nov. 19. Also on the 19th, football fans can catch the New York Giants game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Met Life Stadium.
If you are 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, Puccini’s tragic opera “Madam Butterfly” (the inspiration for “Miss Saigon” and Massenet’s “Thaïs”) will be performed. As an alternative to opera, “The Boss,” Bruce Springsteen, will be performing Nov. 14 at the Walter Kerr Theater. 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).
Many attendees of the VEITHsymposium will want some exercise during the meeting, and a walking tour is a good option. Guided walking tours available include an amble through the historic lower East Side, backstage at 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 at 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 Feb. 26, 1993, and Sept. 11, 2001, are inscribed on the parapets surrounding the two memorial pools (www.911memorial.org/visit).
In addition to the famous Central Park, don’t overlook the less-noted but no less enjoyable Bryant Park near the Hilton Midtown (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 more than 170 boutiques offering 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 truly is a wonderful town.
