      New York / Upper West Side - The Delaplaine 2017 Long Weekend Guide - Andrew Delaplaine

      WHY NEW YORK / UPPER WEST SIDE?

      Oh, my God (or OMG to you Facebook fans), where does one really start?  I was in a bar (imagine that!) on South Beach just a couple of weeks ago and a female marketing executive asked me what were my three favorite cities in the world: I said without hesitation, New York, Paris and London.

      I’d lived in each city for years, visited them many times every year when I wasn’t living there, but there you have it.

      New York, New York! She asked why I chose those three cities. Here’s why:

      New York is the most exciting city in the world.

      London is the most interesting city in the world.

      Paris is the most beautiful city in the world.

      Maybe after you’ve exhausted the possibilities of these 3 cities, you can move on to Berlin or Barcelona or wherever. But I don’t think you ever will exhaust the limitless resources to inspire you in any of these 3 cities.

      I had my first experience there when Angela Lansbury was starring in Mame at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, Al Jolson’s old theatre. That would have been in the 1960s. I think I had the only subscription to The New Yorker in South Carolina in the 1960s.

      When I graduated from Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., in 1968, I gave my rented black graduation gown to my girlfriend (Sara Ellis was her name, from Savannah) and boarded an Eastern Air Lines flight to LaGuardia two hours after I got out of school. That was that.

      It was the most exciting city in the world then and it’s the most exciting city in the world now. Only cleaner. And less crime ridden.

      To put into a short book like this what you ought to do in New York in a 3 or 4-day weekend is a very daunting task. But I have given it some major thought, and I will tell you exactly what I think are the most important things for you to consider.

      I will give you enough hotels to select from, a handful of restaurants ranging from very expensive to very cheap, and a few other tips, but you will have to cheery-pick from among my suggestions to craft the kind of Long Weekend you want to experience.

      Once I spent an ENTIRE WEEK—day after day—traipsing through Central Park seeing things I’d never seen in the whole ten years I lived there.

      Here we do not have time or space for such esoteric adventures.

      I’ve lived the Upper West Side (69th Street just off Central Park West). The flat was on the second floor of a converted brownstone. (We had a bay window overlooking the street.) Living there for a couple of years opened my eyes to this special part of Manhattan. I’ve lived in several parts of the city for extended periods: the Village, Gramercy Park, the Upper East Side, Midtown West. I’ve loved each area in its own way. 

      Pick and choose from the listings that follow where to dip your toe into the wondrous world of New York.
