Holidays to New York
Honking yellow taxis, super-sized pizza slices, skyscrapers and a naked cowboy? Yep, it’s time to take a big juicy bite out of the Big Apple on your next New York holiday.
The city that never sleeps
A New York city break is a hoot for night owls. Make like a local and sip cocktails in kitsch East Village tiki bars, get in the groove at a jazz jam in Harlem or feast on 3am pancakes at a 24-hour Brooklyn diner.
Remember, sleeping is cheating on a New York holiday, so if you plan on getting some rest on your New York city break just fuhgeddaboudit!
Get high or go home
The best way to see the sheer magnitude of New York City is to get high – really high. See the city from King Kong’s eyeline at the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock or The Edge, which at 340m (1,100ft) above the street is the highest sky deck in the western hemisphere – phew!
Food glorious food
Huge slices of affordable pizza, everything bagels, foot-long marinara subs, dirty cheeseburgers and street cart hot dogs… New York City is the GOAT when it comes to fast food.
Fancy foodies will want to check out Eataly or any of the city’s countless incredible restaurants. But don’t miss out on the fusion fare – we’re talking Korean tacos, mochi doughnuts and sushi burritos. Every cuisine is on the cards during your New York city break.
Shop ‘til you drop
Don’t be afraid to flex the plastic on your next New York holiday. From the boujee designer handbags on Fifth Avenue and the rare vinyl in Greenwich Village to hip vintage threads at a SoHo thrift shop, a New York shopping spree is the only way to feel (but not quite spend) a million bucks.
New York’s big hitters
Instagram will never forgive you if you skip the bucket-list bangers on your New York holiday. High-five the Statue of Liberty, stride across Brooklyn Bridge and take a goofy selfie in Times Square. Go on, you’re worth it.

When to go to New York
There's never a bad time to visit New York City, but spring is one of the best. The cherry blossom makes an appearance in Central Park and the locals have defrosted after a chilly winter.
Summer can be blisteringly hot and busy, but this is where air-con, slushies and rooftop bars become your best friends.
Autumn brings a glut of pumpkin spice lattes and cosy Halloween scenes to the city, while December and January turn the city into a romantic winter wonderland. For a cheap New York holiday, February is a good bet.
