When to go?

The best time for a New York City Break is anytime. September & October offers bright sun and comfortable temperatures. In November & December, you can ice-skate in the parks, watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, see the Christmas lights and celebrate New  Year, New York style. January and February are cold, but that means better hotel rates. Spring is glorious and New  Yorkers take to the streets & parks, shopping at outdoor markets, and dining outside. Summer is hot, but so are lots of places, and at least this is New York.

Food & Drink

The list of places to eat & drink is endless. From the upscale River Café in Brooklyn with its fine Manhattan skyline views, or The View revolving restaurant at Times Square, to the street hot-dogs and the best Pizzas outside Italy. There is American, Cajun, French, Russian, Thai, Chinese, and everything in between. West 46th Street, dubbed ‘Restaurant Row’ is a particular favorite for its variety of dining options and its Broadway location. There are rooftop bars aplenty, such as Brass Monkey or the Standard Hotel at the Highline as well as an abundance of friendly Irish pubs and trendy cocktail bars. The Meatpacking district has become the new hip place to be seen, but Greenwich Village around Bleeker Street is still a trustworthy favorite..
