What You Can Expect On A Holiday To New York

The Big Apple is one of the biggest cities in the world and there is no wonder there are hundreds of things to do and see so it’s not a surprise that a New York holiday is a popular choice. The bustling streets are an explosion of colours, activity and diversity! There are famous sites to see just around every corner: from the Brooklyn Bridge to the mind-blowing Broadway, from Coney Island to Central Park. New York is also home to some amazing museums and the scene of incredibly tasty cuisine, so you can easily get lost in time while visiting it. Take advantage of the fact there is never a bad time to holiday in New York and as there is so much to see and do you can visit many times and still have an action packed city break!

What To See And Do On Your New York Holiday

New York offers hundreds of bucket list experiences, all year round. Start with the staples of the Big Apple and climb on top of Empire State Building to admire the panorama. Both kids and adults will love the inspiring views over the city. Another place you can’t miss is the 9/11 memorial, that remembers everyone that human resilience can overcome any tragedy.

If you visit in spring or summer stroll down the Central Park admiring the Belvedere Castle, CP Carousel and the 2000 years old Egyptian obelisk. Make sure you reach the Conservatory Garden, where you can admire the flowers in English, French and Italian style gardens. No visit to New York is complete without a tour on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, which influenced the local’s minds and souls since it’s completion in 1883. You can take a guided tour or do your own walk on the bridge. Look for the romantic display of love locks near Manhattan Tower.

Yellow cabs and the subway are two of the iconic means of transportation in New York, so try each of them at least once during your stay for a memorable cultural experience, the subway is a cheap and easy way of getting around.  If you plan your New York holiday around Christmas time, Bryant Park Winter Village should be your top priority. Each year it hosts a lot of seasonal events and activities. Here you can ice skate for free or enjoy the food hall, shops and ringside bar. Another winter attraction is Miracle on 9th Street, a holiday-inspired bar that serves Christmas themed drinks with fun names and candy cane garnish. Their speciality is the eggnog, which is a delight for the entire family.  Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is the ultimate New York at Christmas image, so make sure you get to visit it during your winter holiday to New York. Once there, you can also try your ice skating skills on the rink under the sumptuous tree.

I have been dealing with SN Travel for a considerable amount of time now, especially helping out for family and friends. The service from SN Travel has always been top tier and nothing is ever complicated from the get go. A seamless experience everytime despite how stressful travelling can sometimes be. Nonetheless, J'sade has been a top champ from day one i first made contact with this company. I always recommend him to not just family but also friends. He goes above and beyond and always very informative of options which is what i appreciate also. He is a valuable asset to the company and I wish him nothing but the best in all his endeavours. Thank you🙏🏾
