Overall
Review Brilliant,
everything is so local. Travel is cheap on the subway. Very efficient
too. Beautiful weather, great sightseeing. Great food everywhere, the
city never sleeps!
Stayed
at Beacon Hotel Brilliant
quarters. large beds. kitchenette, lounge. clean, quite expensive, but
close to the action.
Fab Tips Always take water around with you as it's expensive and hard to find. Can get very busy, but it's a brilliant sight-seeing place.
Must See Attractions Empire State building at night, Broadway musical, Yankee Stadium, Central Park, Times Square at night.
Eating
Out Opposite hotel, Joes diner!
General
I organised the holiday myself and did not use a travel agent.
