Dear Dancers, Those of you planning a summer visit to NYC have probably already booked your accommodations, decided whether to attend an intensive or take open classes , and made plans to see some dance performances and Broadway shows. Not to worry.
Manhattan is actually quite small.
From midtown, you can walk or take public transportation to an amazing array of classes, attractions and restaurants. Avenue numbers get higher as you go West. Elaborate maps are sold in bookstores, or you can ask for a transit map at any subway station. Most stations are still not equipped to process this dubious innovation and most natives still prefer tokens. One token lets you ride as long as you like and you don't have to pay to transfer, nor to take the Grand Central shuttle across town or change to another line.
