Neighborhoods
Take the N train to Prince St and you'll land in Soho!
This neighborhood is vibrant. It is the epitome of downtown cool, encompassing restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and history. These streets are usually packed in the daytime and the energy there is contagious.
For a day of shopping, walk between the main streets of Broadway and West Broadway to hit most of the shops.
For some people watching and afternoon lunch, head to Balthazar, Cipriani, or Felix.
For a fancy evening itinerary, head to BondST for dinner and the newly opened Temple Bar for drinks afterwards.
For great views, head to A60, The Jimmy, or Bar Hugo

Транспорт
Subways are the fastest way to get around
The N is the closest train line. It will take you into Midtown Manhattan in 15 minutes.
There are also convenient buses. If you would like to go into Harlem - 125th St, there is the M60 bus nearby as well.
Taxis are an option too. Sometimes, green cabs will park nearby the train station. However, using Uber would be easier.
