| We've all heard the noise going on about New York City since we were small; it's a place where you can be anyone and do anything. There's something about the city that cannot be justified with words but only with the feeling of being there, and now with so many New York hotels available at your disposal, you can find out for yourself why so many people are in love with the place. |
 |
| In 2009, over 45 million visitors came to New York City to have a bite of the Big Apple. With so many people from around the World prepared to put down the money to visit the city, it really isn't an overstatement to say that it must be worth the hype. |
 |
| While the iconic sights of NYC will keep your feet busy, being there is much more than just walking through Times Square and going to visit the Empire State Building. You'll discover that New York has a large number of neighbourhoods which you can explore via subway or a yellow taxicab. |
 |
| New York has a history of being a multicultural destination. This is because many immigrants settled in Manhattan after arriving at Ellis Island. You can visit this historic sight by taking a ferry from Battery Park. Once you make it to the other side you'll find the Immigration Museum underneath the Statue of Liberty. |
 |
| Once you get back to the mainland of Manhattan, you'll be able to see for yourself just how much the city has been influenced by settlers, who have helped to make it into the outstandingly diverse place that it is today. |
 |
| You can venture down to Chinatown where you will find an endless area of shops selling all kinds of goods including everything from knock-off designer bags and watches to perfumes, toys and more. Also, along this stretch of the city you'll find many restaurants that offer affordable and delicious meals. One of the most popular dishes in American Chinese cuisine is the delectable General Tso's Chicken. |
 |
| If you're looking to get out of Chinatown, you'll find that Little Italy, in the heart of Soho, is nearby. |
 |
| Heading closer to Midtown, the streets of Korea Town are lined with an endless slew of karaoke bars. At these facilities, you can either rent out a room with your friends, or participate in a communal area with other club goers. Whatever route you take you'll be sure to have an incredibly hilarious night, one that you and your friends will always be able to look back on. |
 |
| Aside from visiting the distinctly cultural neighborhoods of New York, you might be keen to hit some of the city's most famous shopping streets. |
 |
| If you're looking for top of the line merchandise, you'll find designer goods and luxury department stores spread along the length of 5th Avenue. However, if you're looking to get a bargain on quality goods, you'll want to be sure to head on down to Century 21, a discount store located adjacent to the former sight of the World Trade Center. |
 |
| Culture and shopping aside, New York is also known to be one of the most delicious cities in the US. Considering the fact that just about every nationality has seemed to settle here at one point or another, there is a wide range of international cuisine options. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, you can start your day with a delicious bagel. Go the New Yorker way and get yours toasted with cream cheese and lox. |
 |
| Another New York institution can be seen in the form of a deli. Here, you will be able to get mountain-high portions of cold cuts on the bread of your choice. Some deli favourites include pastrami on rye and a rueben sandwich. Whatever you go for, just be sure to enter one of these places hungry. |
 |
| New York truly does have it all. You'll find historic sights, flashing lights, Broadway shows, spectacular shopping, iconic museums and delicious food all in one place. As soon as you arrive, you'll find yourself getting so into the spirit of the city that you will not want to leave. |
 |
| The city has something special to offer all year round. Whether you visit during winter, spring, summer or autumn, New York will be able to treat you to an unforgettable holiday. Don't spend another day missing out; book your flights and hotels today. |
