New York Vacations

Bite into fun when you plan a New York vacation. The Big Apple offers the freshest entertainment, tastiest dining and crispiest hotel options, like the Flatotel Hotel, anywhere in the world.

The center of the center of the universe is New York. Vacations here will bring you experiences that you could only dream of back home. If you’re not sure where to start, take a cruise with to get a feel for the area. Explore historic neighborhoods like Harlem and the Lower East Side or newly trendy areas like the Meatpacking District and Chelsea. Shop at funky stores in SoHo and relax with the locals in Greenwich Village. Put on your nicest walking shoes and tour Central Park and the Upper East Side—if you get tired, go for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Wear out your credit cards on Fifth Avenue and in the Diamond District. Travel to the “Crossroads of the world” and people-watch or shop. Take in an event at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts or anywhere along the Great White Way.

Of course, taking a New York vacation for the first time means visiting tourist landmarks like the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Wall Street, Museum Mile and the lovely Statue of Liberty and moving Ellis Island. Be sure to try local staples like bagels, black-and-white cookies and pizza. (For more refined cuisine, ask your concierge to get you into the hottest restaurants.)
