New York

New York City can seduce a person with its variety of people, neighbourhoods, and buzz the minute you step off the plane. If you drive across Queensborough Bridge into Manhattan by car, bus or taxi you just feel the energy as you clock that confident skyline. Being a city which is made for solo travellers as well as families, helps to make it your very own New York City, with the help of Ocean USA . Midtown Manhattan is like the movies with fantastic shops, mid century architecture, museums, restaurants, delis, hot chestnut stands and steam belching up through pretty iron gratings from the sidewalks. Relax in central park with its beautiful views, strolls, skyline and boating on the lake, which is great for children.

The centre of Manhattan equals the main attractions. Hit Greenwich Village where the entertainment venues are close to each other for music, bars, restaurants, and theatre clubs. Hang around the coffee bars on McDougal where Bob Dylan and other ground breaking artists discovered themselves.

Whichever New York neighbourhood you visit there is so much to do. Hit Downtown for the Statue of Liberty or the famous Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) on the Upper East Side. Stand at the top of the Empire State Building on Midtown. Feel the joys of Soho with its hip shops, romantic converted industrial warehouses, restaurants and bars. See the stunning Lincoln Centre on the Upper West Side with its huge fountain, then book to see one of its amazing shows or concerts.
