When the the dollar is low, the deals you can make in New York can almost pay for the cost of your ticket. If you have any way of proving that you work in whole-sale, you should stroll around the whole-sale area between 5th Avenue and 9th Avenue, from 25th to 39th. I would not set my foot on 5th Avenue to shop, but for serious power shoppers with a platinum credit card, this might be paradise. The below are places that either will give you a good shopping experience or potential for a serious bargain for stuff you never knew you needed. However, I also want to warn you about going through the customs once you are back, since if you have bought too many things, your government most likely wants you to pay 25% in taxes of any imported goods. If they pick you up while walking out of the terminal, you might get busted and not only do you pay the TAX fee, you pay twice as much of the TAX fee in penalty. Just so you know. I will not give you tips how to avoid it, just think about it...

The New York dining experience is as much based where you are in the city, what mood you are in, who you are with and how hungry you are. The portions are often made so an American can get full, and take home half of the food in a doggy bag for a late night snack. Never be afraid to ask for endless amounts of coffe, mayo and water. Please be polite to your waiter and rather tip more than less. The tip is essentially how they feed their families, wanna-be-actor career or vice.

New York Museums, Art Centers and such

 

By stepping off the plane when arriving to New York, you are entering another culture. New York is, or at least has always been a self confined planet within the American galaxy. Upon walking the streets of Manhattan you will feel how the force is with you in a very different way, compared to most cities in the world. Maybe with the exception of the thousands of years old Istanbul that also lays on a rock based energy center.

Manhattan was ancient holy ground for the native indians, before the white man arrived and many souls roam the streets and subways of the city. This made Manhattan a great place for artists to channel the strong energy into their work, that then would reach out all over the world with their messages. These days the best thing about the New York art scene is the many museums and galleries that exhibit and sell the best art in the world, as art is a safer investment than most stocks. It is still most artists biggest dream to exhibit their work in New York and be adored by the New York Art Scene and media. European artists go to New York and lend inspiration for the often more twisted and up-front American artists. Since USA is running the show in the rest of the world, the sensitive artists pick this up and often react to it by creating art that represents the state of the world.

In the same way that Bush and Britney Spears are representing or mirroring the human state of America, the artists role is to represent the state of the world with the messages in their art. New York has been the center for this, after Berlin and Paris went through the 2nd world war, even if Berlin and London had their moments in the turn of the millennium.

Here are mentioned some Museums and Art Centers that will give you a basic insight to what has happened up until now. For the galleries, it is suggested to just stroll up and down the streets of Chelsea and hunt for a show at random. It is also important to give yourself enough time to be able to take these excursions, as they are very exhausting and draining of energy.
