There are so many great neighborhoods in New York City, each with its own sights, smells, tastes, people and vibe.
Maybe you've thought about exploring these places, but with so many neighborhoods with hidden nooks n' crannies to choose from, how is one to narrow all of the possibilities of where to go and what to see?
Enter Next Stop: NYC (www.nyc.gov/nextstop), a program of New York City’s Department of Small Business Services!
Next Stop: NYC is breaking down our City, to expose all that's great about New York neighborhoods. Consider us your express line to events, deals, steals and off-the-beaten-path adventures that will show you your City in a whole new light.
Next Stop: NYC’s first stop? The F-train! Browse through charming boutiques and antique stores in the beautiful “garden city” neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens; learn the game of Mah-Jongg or the flavors of dim sum in the culturally-rich community of Chinatown, Manhattan or find a key lime pie shop, live music and a close-up view of Lady Liberty in the maritime neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn!
To learn more about these and other great neighborhoods along the F line, log on to www.nyc.gov/nextstop And now, for a limited time, show your Metrocard to nearly 200 participating restaurants and shops along the F line to take advantage of hundreds of shopping and restaurant discounts.
