Exploring New York City

After a busy day learning about ePortfolio and assessment, reflecting, and making connections, you may want to switch gears into leisure mode.  Fortunately for you, NYC offers its fair share of things to see and do, to eat and imbibe.  Whether you're partial to dining at a fine restaurant or seeking out the elusive “best burger in the city,”  browsing an art gallery or dancing late into the night, catching a foot-tapping jazz set or a raucous rock show, New York boasts more to do on any given night than we can possibly list here.  However, several city-themed publications can help to take the guesswork out of planning your free time in the Big City:  

Time Out Logo
Our go-to source for getting out, Time Out New York graciously donated their insider’s guide to everything New York, including restaurants, nightlife, live music, and theater. On their website, be sure to utilize their helpful “today’s events” search..

L magazine

The L Magazine: Event listings in theater, art, dance, live music, nightlife, and comedy.



The Village Voice: Sortable listings for bars and clubs, food, music, and the arts.



New York Magazine: Restaurant, bars, and entertainment listings, including their “Best of New York” section.


But I’ve only got a few days in the city…
Guidebooks and events listings are nice, but the sheer volume of choices can feel overwhelming.  Don’t despair; for a short list of LaGuardians' most essential New York activities for visitors, click here.
