New York City
isn't one place, it's a hundred different places,
all jostling for your attention.
From the uptown Glitz of the Upper West Side to
the downtown bohemian chic of the West Village,
from Chinatown to Little Italy, from Murray Hill
to Midtown, you are presented with entirely different
sights, sounds and even smells in each neighbourhood.
As if this weren't enough, interesting new areas
keep on springing up with their trendy acronyms.
The latest is DUMBO (we kid you not - it stands
for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass!).
Make a vague plan of what you want to see, but
beware - the fizzing energy of Manhattan is bewitching,
and it could carry you completely off course.
Never mind - adventures are always guaranteed
in this amazing international metropolis. Just
make sure you see the best sights, like the Empire
State with its amazing views, and leave plenty
of time for the fabulous shopping!

Location:In
the heart of Midtown Manhattan, short walk from
Macy's and the Empire State Building. Close to subway.
Opinion:
More than a little 1920's style chic pervades this
neat little hotel, a short walk from the Empire
State Building and Macy's enormous department store.
On your return from a day of Manhattan sightseeing,
you can head up to the roof terrace in the warmer
months for a 'Sex in the City' style vodka martini. |

Location:
On the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Opinion;
It's a bit quieter on the Upper West Side than in
Midtown Manhattan, and the excellent local restaurants
tend to be cheaper. Rooms are larger than in the
centre of Manhattan, and your kitchenette means
you can perhaps fix yourself some breakfast, as
our American friends would say. The famous Lincoln
Centre is a short walk, together with the American
Museum of Natural History and Rose Centre for Earth
and Space and a clutch of off-Broadway theatres. |
