New York City Guide

overall city rating 84%

New York is just like it is in the movies. Horns whine constantly from yellow cabs, hot dog vendors adorn every street corner and fading wisps of steam can be seen trailing from every second manhole. Even though it is just like it is in the movies, nothing can prepare you for your first visit. Walking around Times Square for the first time is extremely surreal because, for a split second, it seems like you are in one of those movies. But it isn't all towering skyscrapers and busy sidewalks. The East and West Villages are surprisingly low-rise, while Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho are close-knit communities where you will find many of the best restaurants in the city. Ironically, one of its best features is that there is too much to see and do - within hours you will be planning your second journey.

    I have just had my first visit to New York in 12 years and I can't believe I left it that long between visits. It's a kicking city with loads to offer every kind of visitor. I shopped, I saw the sights and I only had 2 days. I can't imagine how much damage I would have done if I had any… more

    One of my favourite places in the world, no doubt! I love the atmosphere of this city, with so many different types of people coming together in one place. There's lots of great things to see and do. I love places like Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, Bryant Park, the Village,… more

    I would like to say that New York is a complete zoo. I found that they were very unaccommodating to visitors and I actually ended up getting fined for being forced into an EZ pass lane during rush hour. $120.00 bucks and 2 points for not being from the area. I never knew such a place exited… more
