A trip to New York — the complete guide for the observant traveler

Three days in New York: the Manhattan landmarks, Brooklyn, and the Rebbe's Ohel. Kosher is no problem here — dozens of restaurants in every style.

Day 1 — Midtown & Central Park

The Empire State Building, Central Park, the 47th Street diamond district, and a kosher steakhouse in the evening.

What to see

Where to eat

A Broadway show is an experience in itself, and most performances end in time for dinner. Book tickets ahead.
