East Coast TinseltownOK, I am just going to come out and say it: I am a sucker for Christmas in New York. Three of my favorite things: The huge UNICEF snowflake that glams up 57th Street and Fifth Avenue; the department-store windows, from Macy’s to Saks, always over-the-top and always impos-sible to walk past; and most majestic of all, the grandiose tree at Rock-efeller Center, which, every holiday season, is as much an emblem of New York as the Statue of Liberty. Call me a walking corn cliché, but there is nothing in the world like this town in December. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.

>> SHOPSIt is just so cool: All year long, the major depart-ment stores show lovely, seasonal items for men, women and children. But then, come the holi-days, it’s as if the elves sneaked into the stores overnight and went to work giving the win-dows a major makeover. This year’s theme at Macy’s (above): a Charlie Brown Christmas.

>> TREESSince 1931, a tree has grown in Rock Center: The first (a 20-foot bal-sam fir) has morphed into this year’s 70-foot Norway spruce, decked out with a 550-pound Swarovski star and LED lights. But this is not just another pretty shrub: After the holidays, the tree is made into lumber to be used for Habitat for Humanity houses.

>> SNOWFLAKESCome Dec. 1, this spar-kling snowflake on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street adds even more bling to this posh city inter-section: The snowflake, which gets lit in cel-ebration of the annual UNICEF charity ball on that date, sports 16,000 Baccarat crystals and is considered the largest “outdoor” chandelier in the world.

Getting Around New York by Bus and SubwayMTA New York City Transit subways connect four of the city’s five boroughs. Blue and white buses run in all five boroughs. Subways run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Bus or subway questions? Check out www.mta.info or call 718.330.1234.

ABOUT SUBWAYSNYC Transit’s subway system operates 24 lines des-ignated by either a route number or letter. Serving 469 stations along 660.75 miles of track, approxi-mately 6,400 air-conditioned subway cars will take you to almost anywhere in the city faster than a taxi and at a fraction of the cost.

Subways run every 2-to-5 minutes during rush hours, 10-to-15 minutes during the day and about every 20 minutes between midnight and 5 a.m.

Signs above the platform edge tell you which trains stop there and the direction of travel. Signs on the front of the train identify the route. Subway maps are hung at stations and in every subway car.

Subway station entrances display the routes that stop there; some entrances only provide service in one direction (for example, uptown only or down-town only), so be sure you check before you pay.

Station booth agents can answer questions and sell MetroCard, NYC Transit’s electronic farecard. Subway stations also have MetroCard vending machines. They accept credit/debit cards or cash.

ABOUT BUSESApproximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses pro-vide reliable service on over 300 routes to almost anywhere in the city. Bus stops are located about every two blocks on street corners and are marked by a sign pole with a bus emblem and route number. While some buses run 24 hours a day, most operate between 5 a.m. and 2 a.m. Bus schedules and route maps are posted on most bus stops. All buses are equipped with wheelchair accessible lifts. Check the sign on the front of the bus. If you’re not sure it’s the bus you want, ask the bus operator.

ABOUT FARESThe base subway and local bus fare is $2.75 per ride, payable by MetroCard. Buses also accept exact change (but no dollar bills or pennies).

METROCARDYou can buy MetroCards at any subway station booth. MetroCards are also available at MetroCard vending machines, which are found in many subway stations and at neighborhood stores. Look for the MetroCard sign in store windows or visit www.mta.info/metrocard for a store near you.

There are two kinds of MetroCards: 1) Unlimited Ride—$31 for seven consecutive days and $116.50 for 30 consecutive days. 2) Pay-Per-Ride—The bonus for purchasing multiple rides is 11 percent.

You will be playing an iconic the-atrical role by taking on Tevye in Fiddler. How did you prepare?I have read every damn book there is to read about Fiddler on the Roof. I’ve watched films based on the Tevye stories: Maurice Schwartz’s Tevye is a good one. For months, I’ve been doing vocal exercises taught to me by my old friend and mentor, Tony Randall.

Life on the Upper West Side …? Morningside Heights is my home. I live in one of those great, old prewar

My New York[ W h e r e i N s i d e ]

Danny Burstein[Ac tor ]Five-time Tony Award nominee Danny Burstein is currently starring as Tevye in the world-famous musi-cal, Fiddler on the Roof. He chatted with Where New York recently about NYC sports teams and Bob Saget picking up the dinner tab at NYC’s most expensive restaurant.

M y p e r f e c t d ay

MorningI hate being told when to

wake up. Always have. I think it comes from being a lousy sleeper. Mind

you, I never stay in bed too late. I just like getting out of bed on my own

time. So, my perfect morning would start when I felt like it. Then, [my wife]Rebecca and our two sons, Alex and

Zach, would go with me to one of the city’s great diners, and I’d have a big

breakfast with eggs, spinach, potatoes, a side of fat sausage and rye toast. And

lots of coffee. Then we’d walk off the meal with a stroll in Riverside Park, tell-

ing jokes and finding new ways to make each other laugh.

MiddayDaytime would involve a trip to a

sporting event. Like a matinee game seeing the Yankees, the Knicks or the

Giants play. You can see where my loyalties lie. What about it? Lots of hot-dogs and beer would be consumed.

Naturally, my team would win. It’s my dream day, after all.

EveningWell, that’s easy. A date night

with my wife. Some dear friends like our pals, Heather Watts and Damian Woetzel, might join us. And we’d all have some great food like the deli-

cious barbecue at Mighty Quinn’s on the East Side. We’d discuss politics, the state of the arts and philosophy. Then,

when we all felt fat and happy and when it’s much later than any of us

thought, we’d call it a night.

buildings. Cecil B. DeMille was one of the original residents of the building. It’s a neighborhood in lower Harlem that has Columbia University as its center. It is basically a college town, featuring pubs like Bernheim and Schwartz (great variety of beers), de-cent restaurants like Community and Le Monde, and the incredible Cathe-dral Church of Saint John the Divine, one of New York’s finest edifices.

Do you have a preference of me-diums to work in: television, film or live theater; and if so, why? Each one is quite special in its own way. TV is fast and furious and forces you to be on your toes every second. In film, you have more time: It is a more patient experience.

Favorite places in NYC? Well, I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was the Theater District. One of my favorite places in NYC is The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I also love the Frick, the Guggen-heim, the Jewish Museum. I once had a meal at Per Se in Columbus Circle. Thank goodness I was with Bob Saget and he picked up the tab, oth-erwise I might have had to mortgage my apartment. Thanks, Bob.

What would you tell someone who has never visited NYC, the “must-sees” are? Radio City and the Empire State Building. Obvious. But I would also say, take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. It‘s free. Take a walk on the High Line. Get a glimpse of how beautiful NYC really is from just slightly above it all.
