Sightseeing 02
A Letter from Mayor
Michael R. Bloomberg

Dear Friends:
Welcome to New York City. Ours is the world’s greatest City, and you’re
visiting during an especially exciting period of growth and change.
For all of the attractions that make New York City wonderful—from
shopping to theater to cuisine, we offer options to fit every taste—we pride
ourselves most on our diversity: more than 200 languages are spoken on
our streets, and men and women from every world culture live side by side,
contributing to the vibrant life of the City. It’s especially important to us
that disabled residents and visitors have the opportunity to experience
everything our City has to offer, and we hope that this redesigned, updated
guide will help you do just that.
Last year, we welcomed a record 46 million visitors, and we are drawing
ever closer to our goal of attracting 50 million guests annually by 2012.
The information on these pages will be an invaluable resource as you enjoy
the five boroughs—but if you have any additional questions, remember,
Just Ask The Locals.

Nobody knows our neighborhoods better than the
people who call New York City home, and they will be happy to offer tips
on the best entertainment, food, shopping and more throughout the City.
On behalf of our residents, thank you for coming to New York City—
enjoy your stay!

Sincerely,
Michael R. Bloomberg

As New York City’s only borough
that’s part of the US mainland, the
Bronx has many a scenic landscape
in addition to its cultural offerings.
Pelham Bay Park is the northeast
anchor and, at more than 2,700
acres, is the largest public park
in the City. The park fronts
the Long Island Sound and City
Island, an enclave housing seafood
restaurants and marinas lined
with sailboats. Other notable sites
include Arthur Avenue—the Little
Italy of the Bronx—the Bronx
Museum of the Arts, the Bronx Zoo,
the New York Botanical Garden and
Wave Hill, a public garden and
cultural center overlooking the
Hudson River.

Across the East River from Manhattan
lies Brooklyn, the City’s most pop-
ulous borough. It’s also one whose
neighborhoods are regarded as
much for their atmosphere as for
their attractions. Start by crossing
the Brooklyn Bridge—a scenic
route that lands you a short distance
from Brooklyn Heights, with its
historic brown-stones, tree-lined
streets and promenade overlooking
the Manhattan skyline. Other popular
neighborhoods are Williamsburg,
Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Carroll
Gardens and Boerum Hill—each
home to an array of boutiques,
restaurants and specialty shops.

Though small in size—the island
stretches only 13.4 miles—
Manhattan encompasses a diverse
and exciting cityscape, a patchwork
of distinct neighborhoods with the
843-acre Central Park at its heart.
First-time visitors may want to
see iconic landmarks such as the
Chrysler Building or Rockefeller
Center, while others choose from
among dozens of museums and
cultural attractions. Arts lovers can
take in performances from the
stages of Broadway to the jazz
clubs of Harlem. Shoppers,
meanwhile, can find entertainment
along Fifth Avenue or an afternoon
browsing the boutiques of the
Upper West Side or TriBeCa.
See new art installations at world-
renowned museums in Manhattan.

Even within a city known for its
diversity, Queens stands apart: no
county in the United States counts
natives of more countries among its
residents, and more than 130 lang-
uages are spoken throughout the
borough. The result? Neighborhoods
that are continually influenced by
other cultures, and the chance to
explore their many tastes and tradi-
tions. Enjoy flavors from around the
world in Astoria (Greek), Jackson
Heights (Indian) and Flushing (Asian).
See art and events at a variety of
centers from P.S.1 Contemporary
Art Center to the Noguchi Museum
to Socrates Sculpture Park—all in
Long Island City, a quick trip from
Midtown Manhattan.
Diverse cultures are celebrated in
neighborhoods throughout Queens.

by way of the Staten Island Ferry—
the free ride brings great views of
the harbor and Statue of Liberty.
Once there, the St. George Ferry
Terminal is the gateway to a number
of attractions. Walk to the Staten

Forecast
New York City has four seasons,
with the summer months of July and
August bringing the hottest days.
Autumn, marked by crisp air and blue
skies, is considered by many the most
beautiful time to be outdoors. Winter
temperatures drop considerably—
January and February are often the
chilliest months—with occasional
snows blanketing the City. Spring
can feel later to arrive than its official
April start, but when the weather turns
it brings light winds, showers and
the return of green to City parks and
other public spaces.

Geographic Orientation
The City’s five boroughs—the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and
Staten Island—are linked by bridges,
tunnels and ferries. Manhattan is an
island only 13.4 miles long and 2.3
miles across (at its widest). Except
at its southern and northern tips,
it has avenues running north and
south, streets running east and west.
Traffic generally travels one way,
going east on even-numbered streets
and west on odd-numbered streets.
Fifth Avenue divides Manhattan into
the east side and west side. Street
addresses increase with their distance
from Fifth Avenue, usually by 100
per block. Twenty north–south blocks
equal a mile. If you’re at 14th Street
and your destination is 50th Street in
Midtown, your travel direction is uptown
to get there. Sixth Avenue is also
known as Avenue of the Americas.

Transportation

New York City is an international hub, with thousands of
daily flights in and out of the City at competitive prices.
Three major airports—JFK, LaGuardia and Newark—are
within one hour of Midtown Manhattan. Twenty-four-
hour transit lines, from buses and ferries to subways
and commuter trains, connect the five boroughs of
the City. Subways have announcements indicating the
next stop, and all buses and select subway stations
are wheelchair accessible. Designated yellow taxicabs
are also available to assist persons with disabilities.

Transportation
The City’s five boroughs—the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and
Staten Island—are linked by bridges,
tunnels and ferries. All street corners
are wheelchair accessible.
One of the best ways to get around
town is by mass transit—an
extensive system of public buses
and subway trains operated by the
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA). The system is
modestly priced and runs 24 hours
a day, every day. Customers with
disabilities are permitted to bring
their service animals into all MTA
transit facilities (as well as all other
public spaces of the City). The
animals must be securely leashed
for the safety of all customers.
Refer to Useful Numbers and Websites,
at the back of this section, for more
MTA information. Call 718-330-1234 for
bus and subway schedules, station
and route information and updates.
Note: All subway stations listed in
this guide are wheelchair accessible.
MTA Features
and Services
MetroCard and MetroCard
Vending Machines
Purchasing a MetroCard is your first
step to getting around the City by
subway or bus. MetroCards can be
purchased at subway stations—from
automated machines (which accept
cash, ATM/debit cards and credit
cards) and station attendants—or by
contacting the MTA (mta.info or
212-638-7622 or 718-596-8585 voice).
Customers with visual impairments
may use an audio feature that prompts
them through the use of the machine.
To activate the audio feature, press 1#
on the vending machine (you must use
your personal headset, such as those
used with tape players, to access the
feature). Braille instructions are located
at the base of the screen. Varying
discounts are given for multiple rides,
as well as for seniors (ages 65 and over)
and people with disabilities.
MetroCards are valid on
MTA buses and subways.

Buses
Public buses are an excellent way to
see the City (as well as a way to
reach destinations not convenient to
a subway stop). All City buses
accept MetroCards and exact fare in
coins, except pennies. Buses
operate 24 hours a day, seven days
a week (there may be a few
exceptions in more remote corners
of the City). Waiting time varies, but
it’s usually 5–15 minutes, depending
on the time of day. Travel can be
slow when there is a lot of traffic,
and buses are often more scenic
than underground subways. Buses
generally stop at alternating blocks
on avenue routes and at every block
on cross-street routes. (Note:
MetroCards cannot be purchased on
buses. Unlimited MetroCards are not
valid on express buses.)
NYC Transit has the largest
accessible fleet in the world. Every
bus is accessible to people in
wheelchairs via front- or rear-door
lifts; some newer buses have low
floors that enable customers to enter
via front-door ramps. Some buses
have a “kneeling” feature that lowers
the front entrance of the vehicle to
within inches from the ground for
easy access by any customer with
mobility impairments or difficulty
using the front steps. The driver will
position the bus to deploy the lift
safely or operate the kneeling
feature. Priority seating for
customers with disabilities and
senior citizens is located behind the
driver. Other passengers must make
these seats available upon request.
• New York City Transit and Long
Island Bus serve local and express
bus routes throughout the five
boroughs and in Nassau and
western Suffolk counties. These
routes connect with many subway
and commuter rail stations, as well
as key transportation hubs.
• Personal Care Attendants (PCAs)
accompany and assist individuals
with disabilities. PCAs are eligible to
ride subways and local buses free
when accompanying a person who
is carrying an Access-a-Ride
paratransit identification card with
the notation “PCA.”
• Wait near the bus stop sign where
the driver can see you and you can
signal to the driver.
• Make sure you have the correct
bus by checking the front
destination sign, listening to the
recorded announcements on many
LI Bus vehicles and some NYC
Transit vehicles or asking the driver.
Subways
One of the quickest ways to travel
around the City is by subway.
Subway trains operate 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, and are

often faster than street-level
transportation. Stations are generally
about eight to 10 blocks apart.
(Note: Subways do not travel to
Staten Island. To get there, take the
Staten Island Ferry (free) to St.
George Terminal. Once there, the
Staten Island Railway has four
accessible stations: St. George,
Dongan Hills, Great Kills and
Tottenville; there is also a free
transfer from Manhattan buses to
the Staten Island Railway from the
Staten Island Ferry.)
The NYC Transit network currently
has 82 ADA-accessible subway and
commuter rail stations. These
stations have features that improve
accessibility for customers with
visual, hearing and mobility
impairments, as specified by the
Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). Note: Not every subway
station is accessible, and some are
only accessible in one direction. Be
sure to plan your trip carefully.
Entering and Exiting
Subway Stations
All accessible subway stations in the
Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and
Queens are equipped with AutoGate,
an automatic entry/exit gate that
allows people who have ambulatory
disabilities, are accompanied by a
service animal or use a wheelchair to
enter and exit the subway system.
AutoGates are located at subway
station booths and at stations where
no station agent is present. You
must have a Reduced-Fare
AutoGate MetroCard to enter and
leave the station through the
AutoGate (the card also works with
conventional turnstiles). This card
also entitles customers to reduced
fares on these other MTA services:
Long Island Bus, Long Island Rail
Road, Metro-North Railroad, MTA
Bus, Westchester County Bee-Line
buses (certain exclusions apply) and
Staten Island Railway.
To apply for a Reduced-Fare
AutoGate MetroCard, call 718-243-
4999 (voice) or 718-596-8273 (TTY),
Mon.–Fri., 9am–5pm; download an
application from mta.info/nyct/fare/
rfapply.htm; or go to the NYC Transit
Customer Service Center at 3 Stone
Street in Lower Manhattan (near the
ADA-accessible Bowling Green
subway station). A temporary
Reduced-Fare AutoGate MetroCard
is available to City visitors.
Boarding, Riding and
Exiting Subway Cars
• Wait for the train near the middle of
the platform, where the car with the
conductor normally stops. There are
boarding-area signs on all ADA-
accessible subway station platforms.
• ADA-accessible stations have

20
two-foot-wide yellow tactile edge-
warning strips. Make sure that you
stay behind the strip until it is time to
board the train.
• If you are in a wheelchair, position
it about three feet from the edge of
the platform and make sure you’ve
locked your brakes. Never position
your wheelchair between a station
column and the platform edge. This
creates an obstacle to passenger
flow and is a safety hazard for you
and other passengers.
• At most stations there is a gap
between the platform edge and the
subway car; on curved platforms the
space is more significant. Be extra
careful when crossing these gaps.
(The vertical gap on accessible
subway station platforms is lower
toward the center of the platform,
near the conductor’s position.)
• Once on board, position your
wheelchair close to either end of the
car and near, but not blocking, the
doors. Please lock your brakes.
• If you miss your stop at an ADA-
accessible station, stay on the train
until you reach a station where you
can transfer on the same platform to
a train in the opposite direction and
ride back to the station you missed.
Ask the conductor or train operator
if you need help.
Tactile-Braille Subway Maps
Tactile-Braille subway maps can be
obtained from NYC Transit; the
Baruch College Computer Center for
Visually Impaired People has
produced a series of raised-line
Braille maps with large print for each
subway line. Tactile-Braille overview
maps of each borough and station
maps for 66th St. / Lincoln Center,
74th St. / Roosevelt Ave., Jay St. /

Taxicabs operate 24 hours a day,

New York City is famous for its
yellow (medallion) taxicabs—they
are the preferred mode of travel for
many people. All medallion taxicab
drivers are required to assist persons
with disabilities, and are trained
to do so. More than 130 medallion
taxicabs are wheelchair accessible
and may be hailed on the street. In
August 2008, the City launched a
pilot program under which a person
in need of an accessible taxi can call
311 or 212-639-9675 or the Taxi and
Limousine Commission (TLC; 718-
666-4067 voice) to be connected to
a dispatcher. Many for-hire vehicles
(FHV), or livery cars, have been
fitted with fare meters to be able to
participate in this program, making it

Museums

New York City is recognized worldwide as a center for
arts and culture. Landmark institutions such as the
Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of
Art feature extensive permanent collections as well
as a changing lineup of special exhibitions. There are
also a number of institutions—the American Folk Art
Museum, the Museum of the City of New York and
the Rubin Museum of Art—that take a more focused
approach. Many of the City’s museums offer services for
people with visual, hearing and mobility impairments.

Dining

The flavors of the five boroughs take form in ways that
are alternately traditional and modern, innovative and un-
expected. Follow world-renowned chefs to their latest
restaurants, or satisfy a particular craving at one of the
City’s many ethnic eateries. Begin the day with “a bagel
with a schmear,” dress up for a night of fine dining, or
grab a deli sandwich or a slice of pizza between sight-
seeing stops. Whatever your mood, taste or budget,
New York City is the place that serves it.

Nightlife

For some, the NYC experience doesn’t begin until night-
fall—or end until daybreak. Whether you’re more
comfortable mingling with glitterati in the lounges of the
Meatpacking District, sipping a Shiraz in your hotel bar
or tossing back a locally brewed ale in Brooklyn, there’s
no shortage of ways to spend the evening. Consider a
night of jazz or a comedy club, a sports bar to catch
the big game or a nightclub to dance the night away.
