Explore iconic landmarks and skyline views
Big Apple, bigger skyline
Start at the heart of Manhattan, where the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and One World Observatory offer unmatched city panoramas. Wander through Times Square’s electric streets, pause in Bryant Park, or stroll along the High Line elevated park. Hop between neighbourhoods to discover street art in Chelsea, historic architecture in the Financial District, and hidden rooftop bars offering sunset views. From morning coffee in West Village cafés to evening walks on the Brooklyn Bridge, every step reveals contrasts between architectural grandeur, vibrant street life, and quiet pockets of city calm.
Discover culture, museums, and performing arts
Tap into New York's creative flow
New York pulses with creativity. Visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and the American Museum of Natural History for masterpieces spanning centuries. Catch Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, or find jazz performances in Harlem’s legendary venues. Explore galleries in Chelsea and the Lower East Side, or attend dance, theatre, and music events at Lincoln Center. Whether wandering museum halls, listening to live performances, or browsing contemporary art spaces, the city offers endless opportunities to immerse yourself in its cultural heartbeat and experience creativity at a scale and intensity unique to New York.
Wander neighbourhoods and hidden corners
Discover the authentic city underneath the tourism veneer
Step off the tourist trail into SoHo, Greenwich Village, and Brooklyn’s Williamsburg. Meander cobbled streets, boutique shops, and artisanal cafés. Cross the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, explore Dumbo’s waterfront, or hunt for murals and street art tucked in quiet blocks. Stop by local markets, food halls, and bookshops, or join a walking tour to uncover historical alleys, hidden courtyards, and unique architecture. Experiencing New York neighbourhood by neighbourhood reveals the city’s layered personality — from the historic and artistic to the cutting-edge and contemporary — offering discovery around every corner.
Cruise the harbour and waterfronts
See New York from a new perspective
See New York from the water: sail past the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Manhattan skyline aboard a ferry or private cruise. Explore piers along the Hudson, relax in parks like Battery Park or Gantry Plaza, or rent a kayak for a closer perspective of the city from the East River. Watch sunset light play across the bridges and skyscrapers, or enjoy evening lights reflecting off the harbour. Waterfront explorations combine iconic views, recreational activity, and quiet moments amid the city’s ceaseless energy.
Legendary steakhouse swagger
Steak done right
In Midtown, places like Keens Steakhouse and Gallaghers channel that cinematic New York feel: clubby wood‑panelled rooms, martinis at the bar and hulking rib‑eyes arriving on sizzling platters. Expect wedge salads, creamed spinach and hash browns crisped in butter, all under sepia photos and ceilings hung with history. It’s the setting for long, loud dinners that feel straight out of a film.
Downtown tasting menu buzz
Fine dining with a new vibe
Below 14th Street, intimate spots such as Atomix or Contra turn seasonal ingredients into thoughtful tasting menus served in jewel‑box dining rooms and at chef’s counters. Courses might flow from delicate crudos to charcoal‑kissed mains and playful, pastry‑chef‑driven desserts, all to a low, city‑cool soundtrack. It’s fine dining with a downtown edge – polished but creative, more energy than formality.
Slice‑shop pilgrimage
An institution for pizza lovers
Across Manhattan and Brooklyn, classic slice joints like Joe’s Pizza or Prince Street Pizza make grabbing a slice a mini‑ritual. You order at the counter, balance a paper plate and fold a blistered, cheesy slice in half as you head back out into the street. From fluorescent‑lit, no‑frills institutions to sourdough‑obsessed newcomers, it’s the most democratic way to eat New York: cheap, fast and utterly addictive.
Neighbourhood brunch & wine bars
See NYC from the local point of view
In the West Village, Soho and brownstone Brooklyn, all‑day cafés and wine bars such as Jack’s Wife Freda or June blur brunch, aperitivo and late‑night snacks. Think pancakes, shakshuka or avocado toast by day, then natural wines, small plates and candlelit pavement tables by night. These are the places where New Yorkers actually linger: laptops and lattes in the morning, friends and glasses of something interesting after dark.
Classic deli and bagel mornings
A quintessential meal-on-the-go
Midtown and the Upper West Side still serve up old‑school deli nostalgia at counters like Katz’s Delicatessen and Barney Greengrass. Towering pastrami sandwiches, bagels piled with lox and schmear, and bottomless coffee arrive amid bustling waiters and no‑nonsense charm. It’s breakfast or lunch with a side of New York history, best enjoyed squeezed into a booth with a view of the slicing station.
Rooftop cocktails and skyline bites
Sip and eat among the skyline
From Midtown to Williamsburg, rooftop lounges such as 230 Fifth or Westlight pair small plates with big‑screen views of the skyline. Menus lean into sharable snacks – sliders, skewers, flatbreads – while craft cocktails and chilled rosé keep the mood high above the traffic. Time it for sunset and you get New York at its most cinematic: skyscrapers glowing, rivers sparkling and the city buzzing below.
The Knickerbocker
Embrace your artsy side
On the edge of Times Square and steps from Bryant Park, The Knickerbocker is a historic Beaux Arts landmark reborn as a polished, contemporary luxury hotel. Inside, calm, light filled rooms with tall ceilings, plush beds and marble bathrooms feel like a cocoon from Midtown’s neon buzz. Guests drift between Charlie Palmer’s on site dining, the sleek lobby bar and St. Cloud, the rooftop lounge perched just below the New Year’s Eve Ball with front row views over the city’s busiest crossroads.
RIU Plaza New York Times Square
A perfect pitstop for theatre fans
Riu Plaza New York Times Square is a big, bright, modern tower hotel right in the heart of the Theatre District, a few minutes’ walk from Broadway, Times Square and Fifth Avenue. More than 600 contemporary rooms pack in everything you need – from air con and mini fridges to media ready TVs – making it a practical base between sightseeing runs. A generous breakfast buffet, grab and go snacks, bars and a 24 hour gym keep things easy, so you can focus on shows, shopping and ticking off landmarks.
The New Yorker
An old-school institution
An Art Deco icon with its red “New Yorker” sign glowing over Midtown, The New Yorker sits just by Penn Station, Madison Square Garden and a short walk from Times Square. Inside, more than 1,000 rooms and suites blend vintage touches with simple modern comforts, from plush beds and city views to streamlined, retro inspired decor. Guests soak up the old school lobby atmosphere, grab classic diner fare at the on site eateries and step straight out into the thick of Manhattan’s action.
Equinox Hotel
Keep up with your fitness routine
At Hudson Yards on the west side, Equinox Hotel is built around high performance wellness, pairing sharp, minimalist design with serious fitness credentials. Rooms come with blackout shades, temperature control and in room training kit geared towards deep sleep and recovery, many framing big Hudson River or skyline views. Access to Equinox’s flagship club, a striking indoor–outdoor pool, cutting edge spa therapies and health forward dining makes it ideal for travellers who like their city break to feel like a reset as well as a splurge.
Staypineapple
Put some joy in your stay
A few blocks from Times Square and Madison Square Garden, Staypineapple, An Artful Hotel, Midtown offers a playful, boutique counterpoint to the big-box high rises around it. Compact but cleverly designed rooms lean into bold colours, crisp bedding and fun pineapple touches, delivering a cosy base for urban exploring.
