New York City Weekend Travel

New York City: a Traveller's Paradise

New York City, fondly known as the Big Apple and hailed as the city that never sleeps, is a tourist hot spot. From iconic landmarks to museums, art galleries to world-class restaurants, New York City has something to meet the needs of every traveler.

A place to stay

You are never short of choice when it comes to hotels in Manhattan; from budget to luxury there is something to suit every wallet. If you're travelling in style then you can't beat the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Manhattan. If bohemian living is more up your street then head to Greenwich Village or downtown Soho.

Eating out

Whether you have a taste for pizza or paella, sushi or shawarma, New York City caters to all taste buds. Head to Ellen's Stardust Diner for a taste of Broadway; the waiters will serve your food before breaking into a song from the hit shows. If you're after a romantic meal with a spectacular view of downtown Manhattan then head to The River Caf on the Brooklyn waterfront.

Spectacular views

For a bird's eye view of Manhattan and the surrounding states head to the Observation Deck of the Empire State Building, where a high speed elevator will whisk you up to the 86th floor. If you'd prefer your view to include the iconic Empire State Building then the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at the Rockefeller Center provides the perfect solution.

A taste of history

Learn about historic Manhattan and the reason so many immigrants chose to settle in the US by visiting the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration museum. Catch the ferry from Battery Park and take in the spectacular views of downtown Manhattan on your way to the islands.

Retail therapy

From brand names to designer boutiques, New York City is a shopper's paradise, and a trip to the city is not complete until you've visited the world's largest Macy's or picked up a Little Brown Bag from Bloomingdales.
