Activity Email Lists for New York City
I do a lot in New York City, usually daily. Here is a sampling of the email lists that I receive. I think every tourist planning to visit our great city should subscribe to some, or all of these lists before visiting.
When visiting, or even if you live in NYC, here are some guidelines that will help your getting to these events a little more enjoyable, and let me enjoy you doing it.

When getting off a bus, please use the back door.
