Holidays to New York
‘Start spreading the news’, a holiday in New York as Frank Sinatra famously crooned, will provide your vagabond shoes with a slice of old, and new, New York!
Find yourself ‘top of the heap’ as your ‘little town blues’ melt away atop of the Empire State Building. Sample the razzle-dazzle of Broadway with a show or two, before you dine at some of the world’s finest restaurants in the city that never sleeps.
Luxury holidays in New York
Let New York holidays offer you a bounteous line-up of luxury hotels, restaurants and bars.
Imagine sitting upon a bench under the Queensboro Bridge after a long night of dinner and drinks, while dawn shows its rosy fingers through the beautifully rugged and symmetrical interlacing steelwork of the bridge before you.
You could be excused for imagining yourself in a Woody Allen picture of this iconic city, but you might find yourself in similar situations as you meander through nameless streets reminiscent of the films and scenes we see everyday on the big screen. You’ll feel like you’ve been here before!
10 great reasons to holiday in New York
- Experience America’s ‘pastime’ with a baseball game!
- Shop till you drop at Tiffany’s, Macy’s, Barney’s or Bloomingdale’s
- Wander Central Park
- Ascend the Empire State Building
- See a Broadway show
- Great museums and galleries
- Explore the wonders of SoHo
- Discover Greenwich Village, the birthplace of the beat movement and home to some great bars and restaurants
- Lively nightlife!
- Take a boat to the Statue of Liberty and learn about America’s immigrant history at Ellis Island!
Things to do whilst on holiday
The only trouble you’ll have in this fabulous city will be the trouble of fitting in all of the Big Apple’s iconic attractions.
Check out the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and experience how American artists translate their own experiences through the work of modern art. If you’re keen on more art and culture, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Drop by the Guggenheim Museum, designed by the famous Frank Lloyd Wright, and immerse yourself in modern art and post-impressionist pieces from all over the world.
Take a walk in the park! Central Park is the most unique of open green spaces ever to be conceived. Bordered by colossal buildings on each side, this park preserves a bygone sense of Manhattan when once inhabited by the Native tribes (the Lenape Indians) of Northern America. Now though, the park is a lush and verdant space with opulent fountains and picturesque lakes peppered everywhere, offering a wonderful juxtaposition of nature and architecture.
Wander into Broadway, a Manhattan avenue that runs the length of this island and is the world’s top theatre destination. See a musical, the latest contemporary adaptation of a classic, or witness the latest Hamlet or King Lear to step upon the boards.
It doesn’t matter where you are in America, if you want to experience real American life then you can’t do any better than a ball-game! New York is home to the Yankees in the Bronx, and the Mets who are a short subway ride to Flushing. Spend a day inside a ballpark and discover America’s ‘pastime’ like a true New Yorker. Playing for 162 games from April to September (and October if a New York team makes the World Series), you’ll be participating in an activity that acts as the heartbeat of this city. With games being played every single day over the season, you’ll hear about it blaring from taxi cab radios, on the sidewalk of coffee shops and as rival fans debate the finer points of the game everywhere. Baseball truly permeates this city and acts as a constant in the lives of New Yorkers. This cannot be missed!
