An annual trip in December, until COVID-19 hit, was on my calendar since the mid-70s. There is much to explore from museums (especially the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art), Madison Square Garden, the overall sports scene and the countless restaurants, from the off-the-beaten-path neighborhood diners to those that make the headlines.
