New York Philharmonic (Visit this link)

One of the oldest and most active symphony orchestras in the world, the NY Phil was founded in 1842 and gave their 14,000th concert in 2004. They perform classical and modern compositions - with full orchestras and featuring tremendous soloists. Their programs appeal to the young, the old, the mildly interested and the stalwart musician. The NY Phil is one of the most outstanding cultural institutions in NY - and your time in town should include a visit. Maazel conducts Beethoven's 5th, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, Krzystof Penderecki Cello concert No2 - November 20, 21, 22.

Horseback Riding

Sadly, riding in the city is better done in the back of a taxi than atop a horse. You once would have (until the end of April 2007) seen riders in Central Park but time has brought an onslaught of potential hazards, from dogs and joggers in your path, to busy streets en route to the Bridle Path; in the end, city riding was deemed unsafe even for stalwart equestrians. There are a fair number of academies nearby, and we list them here if time allows you to investigate these options. We do wholeheartedly recommend the few remaining wonderful shops for the never-ending demands of tack and garb.
