Eat

New York City's restaurant scene is truly world-class, in a league with Paris, Tokyo, London and Rome. There are literally tens of thousands of restaurants, ranging from dingy $1-a-slice pizza joints to the $500-a-plate prix fixe sushi at Masa (http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/39400194). The combination of nearly 30,000 restaurants in Manhattan alone with a business failure rate that some people estimate at 90% means that just keeping on top of what's good to eat this month can be a full-time job! A recent copy of the Zagat or Mobil guides is a good place to start, and there are plenty of online resources with ratings and discussion: Citysearch New York (http://newyork.citysearch.com/), The New York Times Dining & Wine Section (http://www.nytimes.com/top/features/travel/destinations/unitedstates/newyork/newyorkcity/guide.html), Zagat's online guide (http://www.zagat.com) (subscription required) and the ever-lively E-Gullet (http://egullet.com) New York Forum (http://forums.egullet.com/index.php?showforum=4).

Drink

The only thing about New York City that changes faster than the subway map or the restaurants is the bar scene. While some established watering holes have been around for decades or centuries, the hot spot of the moment may well have opened last week and could likely close just as quickly. The best way to find a decent bar is to ask the advice of a native dweller with trustworthy taste, but barring that a copy of Time Out New York (http://www.timeoutny.com/), the Voice (http://villagevoice.com/) some other nightlife guide will help you find a den of iniquity tailored to your personal needs.
