The bad – the ‘It’s the city of the future. state of the city’s economy – is no surprise, considering the financial troubles of the entire And it’s here right now.’ country. With an unemployment rate mirror- ing the nation’s at just over 10 percent, the hotel occupancy rate down to 88.2 percent (from 92.8 in mid-2008) and countless new construction projects sitting empty or stalled altogether, some may wonder where the bright spots could be. But that’s where you come in, as 2009 brought in a record 47 million visitors, with nearly 10 percent from overseas, putting NYC in the coveted spot of number one tourist destination in the country. And the city is setting even higher goals for tourism in the coming years, ramping up its reach by opening new tourist offices in Toronto, Moscow and Mumbai, and launching new media campaigns in Italy and Germany, all in an attempt to bring in 50 million annual visitors by 2015. Luckily, visitors are drawn to new attractions, and a spate of them – with Harlem’s Dwyer Cultural Center, the renovated El Museo del Barrio of Hispanic art, and parks like the elevated High Line and the Water Taxi Beach on Governor’s Island among them – are here to help the cause. The low crime rate – which dropped to a 40-plus-year low in 2009 – doesn’t hurt, either.

  • Introducing Nyc
    © Lonely Planet INTRODUCING NYC In a New York minute: taxis zoom through bustling Times Square (p143) IZZET KERIBAR New York can be anything you want it to be. It’s why countless people have pinned their dreams on the place, thrown caution to the wind and shown up on its doorstep. And it’s why visitors keep streaming in from all corners of the globe, grasping at their silver- screen visions – and finding them – but discovering plenty more on the way. New York is a city that’s surprising yet malleable, incredibly straightforward yet bafflingly complex. It’s got so many sides and so much to offer that it can be intimidating, even to the most urban-minded of visitors. But approach it with a combination of organization and openness, and you’ll be met with some staggering and unexpected rewards. You could decide you’d like your day to be filled with high culture and trendy eating, for example, and – voila! – you’re working your way through the Museum of Modern Art, then watching the New York City Ballet perform at the Lincoln Center. Or perhaps you like your city to be tougher, and choose to spend an afternoon wandering through the twisting streets of Chinatown and in the edgy art galleries of Williamsburg. Just don’t be too shocked if your day of high culture turns gritty when you come across a gifted jazz singer on the subway platform – or if your bohemian day gets fancy when a trendy boutique seduces you and you’re shelling out for the perfect pair of shoes before you know it.

  • Development Plan for Hunters Point South
    Testimony of Roland Lewis, President and CEO On the Development Plan for Hunters Point South THE METROPOLITAN WATERFRONT ALLIANCE Before the New York City Council Zoning Committee Friday, October 24, 2008 Good afternoon and thank you for the opportunity to submit this written testimony. I am Roland Lewis, president of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, a coalition of over 250 organizations working together to transform the New York Harbor and its waterways into a world class resource for work, play, transit and education. The prospect of developing Hunters Point South presents a unique opportunity for the city of New York to begin focusing on creating easily accessible and inclusive waterfront on the East River. With the passing of Intro no. 809 a few weeks ago, it is clear that the city is ready to take a fresh look at its waterfront spaces with the intent of intelligent planning that will maximize access, maritime use and the health of our harbor. With proper planning, the development of Hunters Point South could prove to be a template for how New York City develops its waterfront localities in the future. The first step towards doing this is looking at access. In the plan being proposed there is limited access to the water for recreation. This space is a great opportunity to expand waterfront access points in the city. Places can be created in the proposed waterfront park where people can actually touch the water and use it for recreation. The Long Island City Boathouse, for example, is looking for a permanent home. This would be a great place for that and similar water-access oriented projects, such as a town dock – a docking facility that would be open to the public.

    6 ★ FINANCIAL TIMES MARCH 9/MARCH 10 2013 Travel Shortcuts Paris The Hôtel de Crillon, the grand Parisian hotel that opened in 1909 and occupies a palace commissioned by Louis XV in 1758, is to close at the end of the month for a two­year refurbishment. As a result, some 3,500 lots of furniture, memorabilia and fine wines are to be sold at auction. Items being offered include art deco bar stools (guide price €200­€300), the mahogany and silver dessert trolley (€3,000­ €4,000), as well as numerous items of Louis XV­style furniture, wines from the remarkable cellar that supplied its Michelin­starred restaurant, porcelain, silverware, light fittings and tapestries. The sale, being handled by auctioneers Artcurial, will be held at the hotel over five days from April 18 to 22 (viewing from April 12 to 16). www.artcurial.com Kashmir At the start of the 20th century, the houseboats on Srinagar’s Dal Lake offered the height of luxury to visitors seeking an escape from the plains’ summer heat. But the region’s political struggles led to dwindling tourist numbers, and an air of faded grandeur settled over many of the boats. Now though, with visitor numbers rising once more, a luxurious new houseboat is to open. Mary­Ann Denison­Pender, of the independent Indian hotel directory Mahout, says it “promises to raise the level of comfort and design on the lakes to an all­new high”. Marseille’s year in the sun Sukoon, due to open on March 20, is a traditional vessel built in the 1970s but entirely refurbished, with five spacious cabins, each with bathroom, wifi and purified water on tap.
