Holidays in New York City, New York, USA
Posted December 23, 2010 by BookingBuddy
Skyscrapers, Broadway, and Central Park. Rockefeller Center, the Statue of Liberty, and Yankee Stadium. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Fifth Avenue. New York is the city of icons. Whichever ones you choose to see up close for yourself, you're guaranteed to be bowled over on a holiday in New York City.
Eat
Head to the East Village for a memorable meal at Cafe Mogador, a restaurant specializing in Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy a variety of tagines (slow-cooked stews), grilled meats, and cous cous dishes, all flavors bold and vibrant. In winter, the restaurant serves as a warm and friendly respite from the cold; in summer, sit out on the terrace and watch the world go by. Remember to bring your appetite—the portions here are generous.
Stay
New York has been critiqued for its matchbox-sized hotel rooms (often at sky-high prices). Not so at the Hotel Indigo Chelsea, a spacious and affordable option on West 28th Street. Guest rooms feature flat-screen televisions with cable, wireless Internet access, and bathrooms with luxury toiletries. The hotel also has a 24-hour fitness center, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar. Rates start around $180 per night. Package holidays can also help with managing the price of New York vacations by booking flight plus hotel deals.
Shop
Find a treasure trove of shops and eateries at Chelsea Market. Situated on Ninth Avenue between 15th and 16th, the Market offers one-of-a-kind gifts and souvenirs, plus housewares and specialty items. Find any type of kitchen gadget at Bowery Kitchen Supply, fine wines at the Chelsea Wine Vault, artisanal cheeses at Lucy's Whey, and trinkets of all kinds at Chelsea Market Basket. And with several delectable cafes and grab-and-go eateries sharing space with the stores, it's easy (and encouraged!) to nosh while you shop.
