Kirsty Wingate, Travel Counsellor Thanksgiving is a great time for a New York city break. It’s always the fourth Thursday in November which makes it good timing for Christmas shopping. Catch the department store sales over Thanksgiving weekend. The famous Macys Thanksgiving Day parade lasts for about three hours but to get a good viewing position people queue from 5 am.
Dani Dinwoodie, Travel Counsellor Three top ideas for your New York city break. Hire a bike and cycle across the Brooklyn Bridge. Buy a picnic and enjoy people-watching at Central Park. Spend an afternoon in Little Italy where there are some fab shops and reasonably priced restaurants.
Debbie Crampton, Travel Counsellor When you are booking a flight to New York, try to use Newark instead of JFK airport. Newark is generally quicker for immigration and now has a rail link into the centre of Manhattan at around $11 each way. Also check out the fringe theatres. You’ll find smaller productions, often with audience participation. They can be excellent.
Karen Goldman, Travel Counsellor The Marriott Marquis in the heart of Times Square has a good revolving restaurant with amazing views. Try the revolving bar rather than the restaurant. The bar offers an 'all you can eat buffet' for half the price of the restaurant and you get the same views. Ask for a table by the window.
Jessica Taylor, Travel Counsellor Summer is not the best time for a New York city break. July and August are very humid and walking around is uncomfortable. May, June, September and October are the most pleasant months. It can be bitterly cold in February and March.
