HOSPITAL , Because, well, every place needs one. And that's really all there is to say.

HOMELESS SHELTER , The homeless shelters of New York tend to be packed full, especially over the holidays. Maybe you're between places or maybe you live your life on the streets. Whatever the case this is a good place to get a meal, or get a semi decent night of sleep.

9TH AVENUE , This is the place everyone knows to come to pick up a prostitute for the night. Careful ladies... don't get caught. Prostitution is completely against the law.
6TH STREET APARTMENTS , Little ol' run down cheap apartment.This complex is known for it's regular drug busts and various scandals of sorts. So it's not the safest place but it's got to have the cheapest rent in all of New York City. Rent: $250 a month
H&M , The throngs of bargain hunters, thumping music, and huge fitting-room lines could fray even a Zen master’s nerves, but you can’t beat this Swedish chain’s ridiculously low prices on must-haves of the moment like club clothes, ethnic-inspired tops, and cargo pants.
APPLE STORE SOHO , The two-story space boasts a show-stopping glass staircase and a translucent walkway which glimmers in the sunshine flooding in from skylights. Test-drive everything in sight (iPods, digital cameras, software), play stump-the-tech-experts at the Genius Bar upstairs, or sit in on the free daily instructional seminars.

BLOOMINGDALE'S Plow through "B-Way," the aptly named, crowded main-floor arcade that feels like Times Square on Saturday, and hit the second floor for trendy, well-priced American brands. Bloomies also carries all the requisite big-name designer labels and houses an extensive selection of lingerie. The SoHo location, opened in spring '04, caters to a younger, hipper crowd

HENRI BENDEL , In the disco era, Henri Bendel was the epicenter of modish New York. These days, the shop stays cool with favorites like Earl Jeans and Shoshanna dresses, as well as styles from designers like Sophia Kokosalaki.

MADISON AVENUE , This haute strip boasts fifteen blocks of celebrity designer shops (Calvin, Jean-Paul, Giorgio) and flagship fashion house boutiques (Prada, Hermès, Chanel). Kick things off at Fratelli Rossetti on 58th Street for fab Italian shoes, and be sure to leave some time for the grand finale at the stately Polo Store on 72nd Street.

RICKY'S No one needs 80 kinds of hair brushes, but they look cool all lined up on the shelves. Ditto for wigs in shades of neon and hair bands in every shape. Makeup artists hoard the tiny plastic pots and bottles; club kids come for extensions and body glitter.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE , This top-end department store is filled with major American designers and plenty of Europeans, plus a complete collection of diffusion lines. The eighth-floor swimwear department swells seasonally to accommodate classics and styles with a little more va-va-voom.

SOHO , This one-time artists' mecca has since morphed into the city's poshest outdoor mall. Cobblestoned streets and loft-like spaces make the neighborhood a prettier spot for shopping than the average galleria, but do expect seemingly impenetrable throngs on your way from Catherine Malandrino to Kate Spade. (Kill two birds and visit Chinatown for knockoff bags just blocks away.)
DAISY MAY'S CHILI CART , New York is a place where you can find it all—including authentic Texas chili from a pushcart. The movable feast, available in three locations, is made with juicy cubes of hand-cut chuck the size of Vegas dice and stewed in an ambrosial mix of chilies, including New Mexican hatch.

40/40 CLUB , Jay-Z's towering, two-level sports club—which gridlocks a quiet Flatiron Street with stretch Expeditions and frequent celebrity sightings—is a pillar of sophistication, with cream-colored leather chairs, sleek Italian marble floors, a collection of LCD flat-screen televisions, not to mention a cigar lounge and two VIP rooms.

WICHCRAFT , Life’s too short to eat a mediocre sandwich. From the breakfast fried egg and bacon on ciabatta, enriched with Gorgonzola and leavened with frisée, to the briny Sicilian tuna with its fresh fennel crunch and tart lemon slivers, ’Wichcraft’s sandwiches are masterpieces of bold flavor and balanced texture.

GIORGIONE , Complicated toppings do not make a pizza pie, and at Giorgione, the boisterous crowd clamors for Chef Jody Williams’s ultra-fresh, sparingly topped Neapolitans. It looks like owner Giorgio DeLuca (creator of groundbreaking Dean & DeLuca) is on to something again.

PLAZA HOTEL , The best Prostitutes tend to hang near the plaza hotel. They're subtle though. Don't really feel like getting busted. They don't always appear to be what they are.

YELLOW GATE APARTMENTS , This apartment is pretty well kept. The people are pretty well behaved, mainly due to the fact that they have to pass a bit of a background check before they get in. Rent: $675 a month

Manhattan
GLENWOOD COURT , This apartment complex is more like a resort the anything else. Extreme background checks are run before you're even allowed to step foot on the premise. Each apartment is large and spacious as well as elegant and orderly. Rent: $1,500 a month

THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING , The Empire State building is one of, if not the, largest office building in the world, standing at 102 stories tall. Another place with lots of people. Hold your purse close.

THE AMERICAN GIRL PLACE , The 43,000-square-foot behemoth is home to a full line of eighteen-inch historical dolls (dressed in period clothes), a café, a bookstore, and a theater that brings the dolls’ characters to life.

HIGH BAR The 18-floor terrace of the Gramercy Park Hotel has wraparound views of the Manhattan skyline, including a striking shot of the Chrysler building, and a spirited seasonal cocktail menu—from a cooling High Bar Fizz to a hot buttered rum to offset the meanest of winter chills

STARLIGHT BAR AND LOUNGE , A funky mix of Chelsea boys and East Village artistes provides an unintimidating starter course in New York gay nightlife. And the Sunday-night "Starlette" party is widely considered one of the best lesbian nights in town

303 GALLERY , It’s worth dropping into 303 for their meticulously mounted shows by established-but-still-edgy contemporary American artists. Think L.A. hipster (and occasional music-video director) Doug Aitken, prankster Rodney Graham, and Collier Schorr, who specializes in rough-and-tough, dramatically lit images.

MERCURY STRIP CLUB , A musty, run down old building. The smell of weed hangs in the air here, and the high class people don't come near this place.
