I've to go to New York for work next week. Will have a bit of free time in the evenings but I'm really busy this week and have no time to read up on the destination. I have not been since 1989, so I imagine it has changed a bit. Recommend me some stuff to do.

I really enjoyed the high line which is a park built along an old railway line above the streets in manhattan.

The Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side is brilliant, but must be booked in advance.

I unwillingly went to an improv comedy show in Improvolution when passing through time NYC for work in 2017. Thought that I would hate it and find it cringe but I was thoroughly entertained. It also didn't last that more than an hour so felt quite casual in an enjoyable way. Looks like they have a show on the 18th for $10

Bouldering in Central Park?

Not sure when you're arriving but the great Fred Hersch is playing at the Village Vanguard this week through to Sunday 16th.



Immanuel Wilkins, who I don't know, is on from the 18th for the rest of the week.



If you've not been, the Village Vanguard is the quintessential NY jazz club from innumerable movies.Tickets.

Nice, General admission is not too bad!

Photographer Joel Sternfeld did a fantastic series on the High Line as urban wasteland before it became a park:
