Fly to the Big Apple and discover vibrant nightlife, world-class museums and diverse restaurants on holidays to New York.
An iconic city
A trip to New York wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Empire State Building. Once the world’s tallest buildings, it remains a definitive feature of the cityscape. Get back to nature with a stroll in Central Park, with over 800 acres to enjoy. While a glimpse at the Statue of Liberty is also a must.
City of Stories
For a spot of culture, try The American Museum of Natural History, renowned worldwide for its collection of historic artefacts. Or, head to Ellis Island Immigration Museum to hear the stories of immigrants who flocked to the city from across the globe. Perfect for the art lovers, The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses a collection of fine art spanning most of human history.
Buyer’s Paradise
Make the most of your cheap holiday to New York, a shopper’s haven by exploring huge retail outlets dotted around the city. Century 21 is a great place to pick up fashionable designer clothing at a discount. While luxury boutiques like Tiffany and Company, Versace and Chanel also have branches in this international fashion hub.
Buzzing Nightlife
Happy hour is a big deal in New York. If you’re looking for a good stout at an Irish pub, check out Molly’s Shebeen for the authentic experience. If you’re into jazz, swing into The Village Vanguard or the Blue Note jazz club and take in some of the city’s hottest talent. High end clubs tend to be exclusive affairs, but there’s plenty on offer during a night in Chelsea or the Meatpacking district.
Melting Pot
New York is a true melting pot, and this is obvious when you look at the food on offer. Wander to Little Italy for Italian with an American twist, to Curry Hill for sumptuous Indian dishes, or to Chinatown for Dim Sum. If you’re on the hunt for the best burger in New York, Donovan’s is reputably one of the best.
