Whatever you might want from a city getaway, you can get in New York. Whether it's soaring skyscrapers, glittering musicals, cutting-edge fashion or top-notch dining, the city that never sleeps has it in spades.
See the skyline from a unique perspective on a Circle Line river cruise. Then hit the streets and walk from Harlem down to Battery Park. Along the way check out fabulous museums like MoMA or the Guggenheim, relax in Central Park, go to the top of the Empire State Building or simply marvel at the beauty of Grand Central Station. Shop Fifth Avenue or SoHo, watch Times Square light up and catch a Broadway show. Enjoy lunch at a busy deli, dinner at a quiet Greenwich Village bistro and cocktails at the latest clubs in the Meatpacking District.
Although there are plenty of hotel options across Manhattan, you'll probably find staying near Times Square is most convenient. But hotels can sell out, particularly during peak periods, so book early to get the widest choice and best rates.
