Affordable New York City Holidays

New York City holidays are a long awaited and anticipated escape, so you want to be sure you get to all your favourite sites. With towering skyscrapers and nearly two million residents, Manhattan is bigger than life, yet occupies a land mass of less than 60 square kilometres. Whether your New York City holiday is a whirlwind escape or a leisurely in-depth tour, there's plenty of time to get to the best and brightest attractions in the Big Apple if you plan your work and work your plan. Taking Manhattan by storm is easy and efficient when you break up your tour destinations according to location and easy access to the next sight.

Upper Manhattan is a posh place to stay, but you can reach it in a New York Minute if you decide to take more economical lodging in the Midtown district. Home to the world's greatest exhibitions to include The Metropolitan, American Natural History and Guggenheim Museums, Upper Manhattan is the cultural heartbeat of the city.

Attractions such as Central Park, Herald Square and the multitude of city park and recreational areas are a great place to relax and unwind between destinations with a slice of world famous New York style pizza or chocolate latte. Dining deals abound on every street corner, so take your time and get what you want at the price you want to pay.

Lower Manhattan has a different feel to the city with a vibrant artistic culture in Greenwich Village and Soho and is home to the best unique boutique shopping on the island. Pick up some New York City deals on fun and fantastic fashions from Bohemian digs to disco diva attire. In addition, paintings, sculptures and mix media arts are a neat treat to take back home created by NYC locals and visiting guest artists.

The Statue of Liberty is an awe-inspiring sight from the banks of Battery Park or you may hop a ferry to Liberty Island for an up-close and personal tour. Ellis Island is partially opened to public tours with a self-guided walk through the rooms and halls that received a million immigrants with a dream. Portions of the Ellis Island building complex are closed indefinitely due to lack of funding for its restoration; however, guests may roam the pleasant complex and enjoy the harbour views. Wall Street is just around the corner from Battery Park with open doors to tour the New York Stock Exchange and witness the power and the drama of the trading floor. One bus or subway from Upper or Midtown Manhattan puts you in the heart of all the action of Lower Manhattan to explore on foot or hail a pedi-cab (bicycle taxi) to wheel you about town.

Boasting one of the best public transportation systems in the States, New York City mobility is fast and affordable when you trade the yellow cab for a wild ride on the New York Metro trains and buses. Visitors who purchase a daily or weekly Metro train and bus pass enjoy impressive savings and will get to their destination on time.
