MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW YOU CAN  PARTICIPATE IN 
NEW YORK'S RECOVERY BY 
VISITING NEW YORK

New York is the ultimate survivor. From Expedia Travels' offices near Madison Avenue, they've watched the city working to recover from September's tragedy. Only a sliver of the Financial District remains closed, hoteliers and restaurateurs are fighting to fill empty rooms and tables, and the sunset in Central Park is as beautiful as ever. Some ways you can participate in New York's rebound: 

* GET A CHEAP FLIGHT: Most major airlines are running fare sales   right now. 
Delta is the most aggressive in promoting tourism to New   York; they're planning to 
give away 10,000 free round-trip tickets 
 to NYC in the next six months.

New York-based airline JetBlue is offering $198 roundtrip fares from  Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake City, and Los Angeles (Long Beach).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* STAY IN A GREAT HOTEL: With occupancy rates below 50 percent, even   top-end New York hotels are whispering the 'D' word. The SoHo Grand has a weekend rate of $199 through consolidator Quikbook, down  from $299; the Omni Berkshire is also at 
$199 on Quikbook, down from $339 on Sept. 10; and small hotels such as the Franklin and the Hotel Wales have discounts of up to 40 percent.

* EAT A FINE DINNER: Tables were available last Sunday night even at   Alain Ducasse, New York's swankiest French restaurant. 
But wait: New   York's tourist board is planning a Restaurant Week from Oct. 15-21,  when more than 100 of the city's top restaurants will offer $30.01   prix fixe dinners. This summer's Restaurant Week featured meals at   Japanese restaurant Nobu, steakhouse Peter Luger, and French  restaurant Cafe Boulud. Check the visitor's bureau site for more   information later this week:

Even dinners eaten in other cities can help New York. On Thursday,   Oct. 11, restaurants throughout the nation will donate 10 percent of   their revenue to the Windows of Hope Family Relief Fund. For a list  of restaurants, see the Windows of Hope site.

* GO TO A SHOW: Nearly every show on Broadway is selling tickets for  half-price through the TKTS booth in Times Square, and many  off-Broadway shows are selling half-price tickets for theatergoers  with a ticket stub from another off-Broadway show. But "The Producers," "The Lion King" and "Urinetown" are still sold out.
