New York pre-and post-recession is a verydifferent place. People spend money in different ways. They have differentpriorities. But that doesn't mean to say that if you are a business travelerhere, you can't have a good time. You just have to do things differently,and Time Outhas some suggestions for doing just that.
紐約在經濟衰退前后的模樣大不相同,人們的花錢方式已有許多改變,生活中各種事物的優先順序也不一樣了。不過,這可不表示商務旅行人士來到這里無法玩得盡興,只是玩樂方式要改一下而已。《閑暇》雜志有些建議可以讓你如愿。

Hi, this is Michael Freidson,editor-in-chief of Time Out New York, and I'm here to show you some good deals[in] post-recession New York. Our first stop is Artisanal, a French bistro onPark Avenue that serves the best grilled cheese. Thirteen dollars may not soundcheap for a grilled cheese sandwich, but it's the best way to enjoy a bite byMichelin star-winning chef Terrence Brennan. He's been offering this meal sincethe beginning of the year as a recession special and it's one of the mostpopular entrees.
嗨,我是邁克爾·弗烈德森,《紐約閑暇》的總編輯。我要帶各位看看經濟衰退之后紐約能找到哪些好去處。我們的第一站是工藝餐廳,這是一家位于公園大道的法式小餐館,他們的烤奶酷非常好吃。一份烤奶酪三明治要價13美元,聽起來雖然不便宜,卻是品嘗米其林星級主廚泰倫斯·布雷南手藝的最佳方式。他從今年初開始供應這項經濟蕭條特餐,是極受歡迎的主菜之一。
Broadway has experienced ups and downssince the recession in January. Fifteen shows closed. But this fall there's awhole new Crop of exciting new productions. Shows that deal with nostalgia arepacking them in. You've got Hair, the musical from the'60s, you've got Rock ofAges with music from journey and Bon Jovi and you've got jersey Boys.
自從一月的經濟衰退以來,百老匯的狀況起起伏伏。有15出戲結束演出。不過,今年秋天一口氣推出了許多令人興奮的全新戲碼。有著懷舊題材的表演吸引了大批觀眾,其中有20世紀60年代的音樂劇《毛發》、充滿了旅行者與邦·喬維合唱團音樂的《搖滾年代》,還有《澤西男孩》。
Now I'm going to take you to one of NewYork's newest hot spots-Governors Island. It's one of the best-kept secrets inthe city. This is a former military fort that's since been turned into a publicpark that's got art galleries, a bar and grill, live music. It sort of adds alittle beachiness to what is usually a pretty urban environment.
接著,我要帶各位到紐約最新的一個熱門景點--總督島。這里是紐約市最鮮為人知的秘密地點之一,原本是軍事據點,后來改成了公園,里頭有畫廊、酒吧和燒烤餐廳,以及現場演出的音樂。這個景點為此處頗為都會的環境增添了一點海灘氣息。
The city is not about exclusivity in TimeOut's eyes. It's about everyone trying to enjoy the best of what it has tooffer.
在《閑暇》雜志眼中,不是只有有錢人才能在紐約怒意享樂,其實只要大家想辦法,都能享受到紐約最美好的事物。
