If you're an actor, Reproductions is the one, true place to get your headshots reproduced here in the city You can find other places cheaper, but no where else will you get as fast turn around time with as good quality paper and printing. Large orders are discounted, and they'll also help you design postcards, business cards and other promotional materials. Their new offices are hideously ugly (they look like a set from a cancelled WB sci-fi show), but you can still stop in to look through their headshot book -- it's a great way to select a photographer.

This Best Buy is weirdly organized. Every time I go there I always stumble into the returns area in a desperate (and it often seems futile) attempt to find the check out -- this can't really be a good sign, can it? I also notice they tend to sell out of new DVD releases really quickly (so if you're a big geek and you need something the day it's released, call them first or go to a different one).

This Apple Store is beautiful. Everything about it speaks to the Mac design and marketing concept. It's a joy just to spend time in it's so aesthetically great. I keep trying to justify putting an Ipod into my budget just so I can have an excuse to go shopping here, as opposed to longingly playing with their display computers. Be warned that's it's crazy evil crowded on the weekends.

Kiehl's products are fantastic, and their store is a lot of fun; definitely go here for the crazy retro vibe and lots of free samples as opposed to the department store counter at Barney's. I particularly recommend their haircare products, which are light, but thorough and do wonders on curly and ethnic hair. Their stuff isn't cheap, but is entirely worth the price you pay.

Ricky's has a great selection of makeup, medium-quality wigs and hairdye. It becomes a horrible mob scene around Halloween, but is a good resource for those looking for professional quality beauty products or more extreme hair coloring and cosmetics (they also have lots of non-edgy, lesser known brands). Why I can buy hair dye and sex toys (there's a back room with sex toys) in the same place I've never understood, but I'm not really complaining either.

Before there was Sephora, there was Zitomer. You can get ordinary drugstore stuff here too (imagine, a world where you never, ever have to go to Duane Reade), but also high-end and hard to find skincare products. the prices are high, as reflects the nature of the store and its location (and you might find better deals at Sephora), but the shopping experience is grand.

Broadway Dance Center can be overwhelming. The lobby is always crowded as are the classes, it's hard to get individual attention or feel like you have room to move in some cases. This is especially bad in the summer, when the place has its summer programs and is overrun with girls on school trips thinking this is the one true place to study. It's a bit odd. On the other hand, the facility is nice and large, they have an informative website, an array of dance styles and levels and good teachers. You just have to be willing to brave the chaos. Also, their free membership card gives a 10% discount at many dance related shops.

Excellent, specific training.

I studied dance here for many years in their old facility (which had a charm the new one can't equal, but the new one is much, much better). The training is excellent and thorough, but not well-suited to other dance styles. Those pursuing other dance work should even be careful about studying here -- Graham work is difficult on the body in extremely specific ways. That said, it's fantastic for developing theatrical expression (especially darker, more dramatic elements), and for strengthening your core and arms.
Graham's work has periodically risked dying out since her death because of schisms within the company and the rather historical nature of how (and what type of) meaning is conveyed through her dance. But it's a critical piece of dance and modern American cultural history.

Just had the side by side massage with my girlfriend here and it was fantastic. While the relaxation room was a bit filled with giggling women in markeup (I don't understand wearing makeup to the spa) for my taste, the services and the space were excellent and the sauna was amazing. I'm definitely rearranging my budget to make this a regular event.
