If you can't hear it, wear it, buy it or eat it in New York City, it's not on the planet.

From food to fashion to arts & entertainment, NYC has an answer to every obsession. Bored with the Met? Try the Tenement Museum. Fed up with opera? Check out 52 other types of music. Tired of the subway? Rent a kayak and paddle uptown along the Hudson River.

New York has a language all its own, and we at PlanetRider want to help you decode it. We can't decipher all the city politics or lower the crime rate (which has dropped dramatically in the last few years), but we can get you a guide who will show you the boroughs - just grab a bike! A little hungry? We've got the best selection of restaurant reviews from food critics uptown to underground; we'll even help you order takeout (very native!). If you've still got the energy, we'll show you how to get to Broadway, the Blue Note, and Carnegie Hall. And we promise: you won't have to practice.
