Book Affordable Flights to New York
New York is the most visited city in the United States and for good reason. Often called as the 'Big Apple', the city is a global center for finance, culture, and entertainment. One could spend a lifetime exploring NYC and never really explore it all. It's famous for landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and vibrant neighborhoods like Greenwich Village and SoHo.
Key Tips for a New York Visit
When to Visit: Spring (April-June) and Autumn (September-October) offer the most comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, and ideal conditions for walking and sightseeing. Winter is magical for holiday festivities but can be bitterly cold, while summer is hot and humid.
Major Airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) (International & Domestic, Queens), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) (International & Domestic, New Jersey, serving the NYC area), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) (Primarily Domestic, Queens).
Shopping: Fifth Avenue for high-end luxury brands and flagship department stores (Saks, Bergdorf Goodman). SoHo for high-end to mid-range fashion and art. Chelsea Market for food, gifts, and culinary items. Brooklyn Flea Market (weekends) for vintage, antiques, and local artisan goods.
Travel Advice: Use the Subway; it's often the fastest and most cost-effective way to travel, running 24/7. Walk: It's a highly walkable city; wear comfortable shoes. Explore Beyond Manhattan - Visit Brooklyn, Queens, and other boroughs for diverse culture and food. Book Attractions or shows in advance (especially Broadway). Tipping is customary in restaurants, bars, and for services.
