A typical trip to NYC is crammed with new and old places to explore. I have learned so much about the city's history from listening to The Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast.  I seldom listen without adding an interesting place to my list for an upcoming trip.  I also love art and spend a great deal of time in the city's museums and galleries, and in the evenings I like to enjoy a great restaurant and incredible music in a Village jazz club.
