The following items found elsewhere on the World Wide Web provide additional details regarding New York City and the things that happen there. There are, of course, many other related sites on the Web. This listing is intended to get you started, and hopefully entertain you along the way.
- Welcome to Central Park
- Welcome to Central Park is the best resource I've found so far for information about Central Park. You'll have to have Netscape 2.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer to view it, though. Don't miss the photo tour!
- New York Public Library
- The New York Public Library is world-famous for its excellent reference services.
- Explore New York
- Not nearly as pleasant as Welcome to Central Park, but broader in content. If you're looking for a listing of places to see in Manhattan reminiscent of a AAA tour book, you'll find it here.
- New York City Insider
- If you're going to be visiting New York, this is a great place to stop first to gather information about what to do and see.
- New York City Reference
- This giant list of NYC-related Web sites has it all. A great place to look for information on a particular topic.
- METROBEAT:NYC
- A searchable guide to current and upcoming events. Highly comprehensive!
- Time Out New York
- This is an online version of New York's Time Out New York magazine. (I picked up a copy at the newsstand and found it useful.) Like METROBEAT:NYC, this site is a guide to upcoming events.
- New York Web
- Presented as a guide to NYC culture, you'll find high-quality content here in a magazine-like format.
- Subway system of New York City
- Why France would provide access to the New York subway system's maps is possibly a question better not asked. But here it is anyway!
- History of the Lake, Central Park, New York City
- A brief timeline of some of the developments in Central Park's history.
- TheHamptons.com
- One of the more interesting information services provided by real estate-related groups, this site is terrific for art-lovers. (Real estate is huge on New York's internet. You can hunt for housing for days online. But few of these sites have cultural content as well.)
