IN A NUTSHELL
Any attempt to describe the quintessential New York experience is doomed. For one visitor, it might be stepping out of a trendy Lower East Side hotel and into an age-old Jewish deli. Another might prefer venturing into Queens in search of the best Chinese (Flushing), Mexican (Jackson Heights) or Middle Eastern (Astoria) food around. A third might take a stroll through Central Park and on to Spanish Harlem, then along 125th Street to the Apollo, cradle of the Harlem Residence. All three would be right: none of these things could be more New York. This is a city defined by its diversity.
