Launch your exploration with a visit to the top of the Empire
State Building to take in the entire city in one panoramic glance.
Stroll up Fifth Avenue, past the leonine guardians of the New York
Public Library Humanities and Social Sciences Library (closed
Sunday) and step inside to take a look at the gleaming Main Reading
Room. Walking east on Forty-Second Street takes you to the painstakingly
restored Grand Central Terminal, a hub of frenetic activity and
architectural wonder. Move on to the Chrysler Building, an Art
Deco beauty, and continue east to the United Nations.
Make your way back west to Rockefeller Center for more
grandeur, then across Fifth Avenue to St. Patrick's Cathedral and
into Saks Fifth Avenue. The Museum of Modern Art (closed
Wednesday) stands a few blocks away, and to the south Times Square
lights up as night falls. Walk down Seventh Avenue to take in all the
bright sights on your way to a Broadway show.
Day 2
Fine art and the finer things in life beckon, starting at the
magnificent Metropolitan Museum of Art (closed Monday). You could
easily spend a whole day here, but tear yourself away and choose between
the Guggenheim and the Whitney. If you choose the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum (closed Thursday), that giant spiral filled with
modern art, meander over to pricey and chic Madison Avenue afterward and
shop your way down to 59th Street. If, instead, you walk southwest from
the Met to the Whitney Museum of American Art (closed Monday), Bloomingdale's
is just a quick southeast jaunt away. After exploring the museums, head
to the southeast corner of Central Park, called Grand Army
Plaza. Along the western edge stands the Plaza hotel, across the way
from F.A.O Schwarz. After dinner, take a short walk along the edge of
Central Park, or hail a hansom cab for a carriage ride.
Day 3
Start early, with a visit to Ellis Island or the Statue of
Liberty, and take a quick spin around the Wall Street area. Next
head northwest to bustling, colorful Chinatown on your way to
gallery- and shop-filled SoHo. Cruise through trendier and less
expensive Nolita, then up to the East Village. When you've had
your fill of funky, walk west to the historic sights and winding streets
of Greenwich Village. Stay downtown for dinner in a Village
eatery or a Soho hotspot, then dance the night away before you bid the
city goodbye.

Continuing education
How
I manage common canine and feline skin disorders
The Speakers:
Dr. Craig Griffin and Dr. Wayne Rosenkrantz
are both Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology
and are partners in referral dermatology practices in Garden Grove (Los
Angeles) and San Diego. Being in the largest private referral practices means
that they have probably seen and treated it all. This also means that they
will be presenting practical methods of treatment! Dr. Griffin is one of the
leading Veterinary Dermatologists and has written chapters and articles in
most of the texts and journals. He is a co-author of Small Animal Dermatology
and is a frequent speaker at all the major conferences in the U.S. and around
the world. Dr. Rosenkrantz is also a very popular U.S. and international
speaker and author who has previously presented lectures for IVS in Australia
and around the U.S. We are pleased that both speakers have agreed to
participate in this seminar as their previous seminars for IVS were very well
received by all in attendance.
Both speakers will present practical information (including some of their
secrets) utilizing their clinical cases. There will also be plenty of time to
get one on one with them to discuss your frustrating case.
