NY from the water

A circle cruise of Manhattan is absolutely the best way to see New York

There is a vibrancy and energy in New York that is unmistakeable and addictive. But it’s also nice to find a quiet spot occasionally. I really liked Bryant Park, a little park in 42nd street, behind the New York Public Library.

MVPs attending the launch of Office 2003 stayed at the W at Times Square. This was a really great area of New York to be in: it’s loud and brash and there always seemed to be something happening on the streets.
