Are you considering getting away for a short break? If so, there are many destination to choose from but one place that can cater to almost everybody's tastes is New York City. Ideal for a short break with the family in tow or perhaps a whistle stop tour of the sights on a weekend city break - you can be sure that New York will have plenty to offer you on your trip. From the sights and attractions to hotels and flights, the key word to keep in mind when looking at New York Breaks is: choice. There is always a wide range of options to consider in the city that has it all.
Because there is such a huge range of attractions to see and so many things to do it is often a bit tricky to narrow down what you are going to see and do on a short break to New York. One area that New York particularly stands out is in its shopping. If you are after a bit of retail therapy then you'll be spoiled for choice. From the global brand names of Times Square to the thousands of independent stores and boutiques littered around the city, you won't know where to begin and it would be a wise idea to leave your credit card at the hotel as you can really get carried away!
It is unlikely you haven't already thought about it but, of course New York is home to some world famous landmarks of which you have to have a look at a few if it is your first visit to the Big Apple. These include the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the ongoing Twin Towers site which will eventually house a museum. As time is a bit scarce on a short or weekend break the best one stop destination is the Empire State building. Centrally located it doesn't take much time to visit and is a great place to go at the beginning of your trip so you can get a birds-eye view of the city and get your bearings in downtown Manhattan.
One thing that puts people off the idea of going on a New York Break is the long journey which can eat into the precious hours of a short break. In fact flights to New York can be as short as just over five hours and being so well served by the airlines, flights are constantly available and there are plenty of deals to be had to bag yourself a cheap flight. A New York break has something for everyone.
