New York City

New York - an urban jungle that will sweep you off your feet with its boundless energy and set your mind swirling with a dizzying array of culture, cuisine, architecture and entertainment.

Midtown is home to the city's most famous icons, including the Empire State Building, Time Square, Madison Square Garden, Broadway, the 319-metre Chrysler Building, and the city's tallest skyscrapers. The bohemian Greenwich Village is a charming district with tree-lined streets, quaint cafes, art galleries, dusty bookshops, and art house cinema. You'll get a sense of just how culturally diverse New York really is when strolling through Little Korea, Little Brazil, Little Italy and Chinatown, all of which are within just a few blocks of each other. In the centre of Manhattan lies Central Park - 843-acres of tranquillity beset with lakes, rolling hills, an ice-skating rink, children's playgrounds, and a wildlife sanctuary.

Another popular tourist attraction is New York's Museum Mile, which boasts nine museums, the most famous being the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is home to more than two million pieces of art and is among the largest museums in the world. A favourite with families is the American Museum of Natural History, dating back to 1869, with its three dinosaur halls. When you've had your fill of museums and galleries, head to Yankee Stadium for a complete change of scene - watch the baseball, swig beer and chow down on corn dogs.

New York holidays are a paradise for shopping enthusiasts. For a serious assault on your credit cards head to the designer boutiques and shopping malls of Uptown. The world-famous malls of Barneys, Bloomingdales, Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue are well worth a visit. Here visitors will find a wealth of designer names and cutting-edge American fashions. A trip to New York isn't complete without a visit to the world-famous Tiffany & Co, which is bursting with dazzling diamond rings and watches. Alternatively, for a more modest spend, Downtown offers a good selection of alternative boutiques and cheaper shops. The Downtown area of SoHo is a chic outdoor shopping mall featuring pretty cobbled stone streets.

The dazzling lights of Broadway attract visitors in their droves. Broadway is bursting with glitzy shows, theatrical productions, live music, movie screenings, stand-up comedy, and opera. Nightlife in New York, as you might expect, offers a dizzying selection of wine bars, jazz lounges, sports bars, Irish pubs, DJs and large-scale dance clubs. The city is also home to an abundance of festivals and events throughout the year, from the Chinese New Year Parade on 5th January, which is bursting with colourful costumes and spectacular fireworks, to the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, which is a highly festive affair complete with live music and entertainment.
