If ice skating under the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and shopping for festive gifts on FifthAvenue is what you've always dreamed of, winter is a truly magical time to be in the BigApple.The Spring andAutumn months are your safest bet if you’re looking for good weather and quieter tourist hotspots - take an umbrella though, as you’ll no doubt experience the odd rain shower.

Where to stay Being NewYork, where you stay is very budget dependent, but the good news is that there’s a huge array of different styles of accommodation to suit every visitor
What to eat
The NewYork culinary scene is as fast paced as its subway, but NYC fayre is as iconic as the city skyline. Think street bought hot dogs and huge slices of cheese pizza pie washed down with a beer. Pretty much every block is home to an authentic family run Jewish or Mediterranean deli, serving heavenly pastrami sandwiches –with melted Swiss cheese and horseradish coleslaw, rustic bagels smothered in cream cheese, and other mouth watering blue-plate specials.
According toTripadvisor,The Standard High Line is the best place to stay in the city With 338 rooms, and towering above an old, elevated train line the hotel is located in the Meatpacking District. Residents can expect sweeping views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, as well as a fun and friendly German beer garden, trendy rooftop club Le Bain, and the legendary Top ofThe Standard (reopening Late 2022). Rooms start from $263 a night, based on two adults, but if your down to splurge you can book the Empire Suite, a 875-square-foot suite with city skyline views from seen from wall-to-wall windows, it’s own private living room and deep-soaking bathtub from $2,472 a night. Best time to go Because NewYork is a year round destination, the type of holiday you’re searching for dictates the best time to visit.
If you’re on a tight leash, thenAirbnb hosts some amazing self-catering apartments and condos in Brooklyn, and the best bit is that you can collectAvios points by booking viaAirbnb too!
