New York City: Remarkable Restaurants & Spectacular Music

By Maxwell Joshua Edison


New York is a fantastic city to visit for many reasons. But for me the best two reasons must be the delicious food and the great selection of live music shows every night.

If you are like many people and you live in a place where the only restaurants to eat at are chain restaurants then you may not have ever actually had truly excellent food in your life. Sure you have had stuff that you thought was good because you just didn't know what is really good yet. But when you come to New York you will get a great education on how good food can really be.

On your visit to NYC I suggest ordering the New York Pass because it includes great discounts for many different tourist activities with the best of all being the food tours! On these food tours you can taste selections from six or seven restaurants in one go. It is a fantastic way to get a taste for the amazing variety of New York City restaurants.

As far as live music is concerned there are basically no popular bands that don't make a stop in New York. Everyone plays here when touring the US. Even if one of your favorites is not playing during your NY visit you are sure to find lots of great live music in every night.

If you like jazz then you are particularly in luck because Manhattan has lots of live jazz to listen to just about every single night. And of course NYC is also the birth place of hip-hop so you're very likely to find a lot of interesting hip-hop if you look for it.

Some of the venues you should check out of are MSG (also home to the New York Knicks of course), the Bowery Ballroom, Sullivan Hall, Smalls, the Beacon Theater, Irving Plaza, the Roseland Ballroom, Birdland, Union Hall, Radio City Music Hall and the Beauty Bar.
