Holidays and hotels in New York
No place else is quite like New York. Simply stated, we have more of the best to delight and entertain than anywhere in the world: 150 world-class museums, 18,000 restaurants of all types and price ranges, scores of Broadway theaters, and an unbelievable array of shopping. And no other city has such a diversity of people and cultures. Where else can you see Chinese dragon dancers, Caribbean stilt dancers, and Moroccan belly dancers in the same day?
Where else can you hurl darts in an Irish pub and then try your skill on a Neapolitan bocce court right down the street? Are there other places where you can sway to a reggae beat on your way to hear a German opera? Or go from a room full of Dutch Old Master paintings to one filled with cutting-edge fashion? And where else in the world can you lunch on Japanese sushi and enjoy hearty Brazilian feijoada for dinner? Welcome to New York, where the only limit is your imagination.
New York City: ‘The Big Apple’, boasting landmarks so iconic that visitors feel like they are on one gigantic movie set!
Getting to New York (or Manhattan, as that’s where everyone stays) for the first time is a very surreal experience.
It is the world’s most famous city and it has appeared in more films than any other city in the world. Upon first arrival you have to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not in one of those films.
What makes it even more surreal is the fact that it is just like it is in the movies. Steam wisps from manholes all over Manhattan, hardly a second goes by when your eardrums don’t catch some trace of a car horn or siren, and men stand impatiently at hot dog stands which adorn every second street corner.
