New York is a powerful place
and well-versed in the ways of
welcoming newcomers. But that
doesnʼt mean you wonʼt need a
little help along the way. The New
York 411 City Guide serves as an
excellent resource, not only to those
new to the city, but also to those
veteran New York visitors or anyone,
for that matter, who wants a little
New York info. So here is everything
you need to know—from where to
purchase discount tickets to “Whoʼs
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” to what day
the Guggenheim is closed.

At Home in
the City
by Miranda Taylor
here is a pending application to trademark a slogan for
New York City that would dub it “The Worldʼs Home,”
which makes a whole lot of sense considering the vast
scope of people who visit this city, yearn from afar
to live there, or end up making it their actual home.
“...the spirit of the city—its infectious
energy and constant movement—means
that where you live never matters as
much as how you live.”
New York City is notorious for its expensive real estate
and shoebox accommodations. And while that may be true in
theory, the spirit of the city—its infectious energy and constant
movement—means that where you live never matters as much
as how you live. That said, the internet has replaced circling
“For Rent” ads in newspapers, making it that much easier to
find a place in this astonishing city to call home. Check our list
of online rental and real estate resources. Maybe youʼll choose
to log onto spaceandthecity.com, where youʼll find a seemingly
unending list of properties, including sublets, shares and
roommate searches in all areas of the city, with prices to fit
any budget.
Once youʼve found the perfect place to rest your head, rely on
our list of movers and storage facilities to help transport the stuff
youʼll need and store the extras that might not fit into your New
York city lifestyle.

If your planned stay is shorter, our comprehensive list of hotels
wonʼt leave you guessing. We have contact information and
links to a hundred hotels from the big boys to the chic boutiques.
Meet Eloise at the Plaza or be inspired by The Muse—an elegant
hotel that provides Philosophy bath products and a custom Muse
CD full of dreamy atmospheric tunes to soothe after a long day
on the set.
In between buying a three-bedroom apartment overlooking Cen-
tral Park and an overnight stay in a budget motel, thereʼs another
option—furnished corporate housing. Create movie magic dur-
ing the day and come home to a fireplace and a fully-equipped
kitchen. Choose from our list of well-researched homes away
from home provided by As You Like It Furnished Accommoda-
tions and CitiFurnished.com, among others.
