Seen the sights from uptown to downtown? Well, you haven't really seen New York, as the slogan goes, till you have seen Bloomingdale's, the internationally famous emporium on the fashionable Upper East Side of Manhattan. Bloomies as New Yorkers affectionately call it, will open its doors early for an exclusive private breakfast in Le Train Bleu which is modeled after a French railway car. After a champagne toast, enjoy a fashion presentation and shopping spree. A fashion expert will be on hand to offer both men and women hints and tips on "what to wear," while design experts display the latest fashion trends. And don't forget Macy*s, the largest store in the world with 11 floors and everything you could ever want in fashion, family and home. Give your guests the chance to see it like nobody else! Macy*s will also open its doors especially for you for an early morning breakfast. During breakfast, models will demonstrate the current fashions and advice on "putting it together" with ease and economy. Afterwards, there will be time to tour the store and shop! -- Stephanie Margulies

The hottest neighborhood in New York City has to be the Upper West Side. In the presence of attractions such as Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History, some great restaurants have recently opened. Compass and Cesca are two of the newest to emerge on the scene this year. Compass was named one of New York's top 50 restaurants in the 2004 Zagat as well as "Best New Restaurant Design" by Interior Design Magazine. It has a modern, sleek design and 3 private areas- including a window-lined wine room. Cesca, on the other hand, delivers equal measures of elegance and neighborly feel with the rustic Italian cuisine and Renaissance Italian decor of the dining room. This new hot spot invites guests into a comfortable New York City restaurant but leaves them feeling as if they were in a Southern Italian trattoria. As the saying goes, "The West Side is the Best Side!" -- Brooke Barnes

Looking for something new on Broadway? The smash London musical Bombay Dreams will open at the Broadway Theatre in New York City on Thursday, April 29, 2004 with previews beginning on Monday, March 29th, 2004. Produced in London by Andrew Lloyd Webber, it has quickly become the biggest hit currently in London's West End. Based on an idea by Shekhar Kapur and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bombay Dreams features a pop rock score and the story of a handsome young slum-dweller and his dreams of becoming a big, Bollywood movie star. With the help of his friend Sweetie, the beautiful director Priya, and her father, a powerful but corrupt movie mogul, he succeeds in achieving fame, success and true love!
