New York is everything its visitors and critics claim, an adrenaline charged city that never sleeps packed with history, entertainment, culture and commerce. The big apple doesn’t really need an introduction, with its iconic skyline and world famous landmarks, it has been a popular city break destination, quite simply because it is the most exciting city in the world. New York City comprises five boroughs but Manhattan is the one that brims with action from the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square to some of the most recognisable museums and architectural landmarks in the world. The remaining areas are the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and State Island, all of which have their own unique character.

Eating out is a way of life in New York, from the famous diner breakfasts to the finest restaurant experiences in the world, there is something for everyone. The nightlife is exactly what you’d expect from a city that never sleeps, packed with swanky cocktail bars, chic nightclubs and live music venues open until the early hours of the morning. Escape from the hustle and bustle with a stroll through the famous Central Park where you will find kite flyers, sunbathers, runners and picnickers as well as a number of attractions including Strawberry Fields (a memorial to John Lennon), Bethesda Terrace and Belvedere Castle.

There’s no better place to experience the excitement of New York than the bustling Times Square. Surrounded by neon lights, Broadway theatres and giant billboards, it is an exhilarating experience that you think you’ll only see in the movies. Experience the New York skyline from the city's tallest skyscraper, the Empire State Building which has easily been the most powerful and evocative symbol of New York since its completion in 1931. Soaring 1,250 feet above the ground, the 102^nd floor allows visitors to take in breath-taking 360-degree views. Of course, a visit to New York wouldn't be complete without seeing its most familiar landmark, the Statue of Liberty. Take a short ferry ride to Liberty Island where you can witness the historic monument that attracts millions of visitors each year. A visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must; being one of the largest and most comprehensive art museums in the world, it has over 2 million pieces of art spanning 5,000 years. Although New York still grapples with the events of 11 September 2001, it has remained a strong city, marching forward as one of the greatest and most important cities in the world. Symbolic of this is the reopening of the former World Trade Center site. The National September 11 Memorial occupies 8 of the 16 acres at the World Trade Center and is a tribute to the past and a place of hope for the future. There is also a museum on site with a collection of artifacts, photos, videos and personal memorabilia related to the events of September 11th.
