New York holidays are an experience in diversity. From the uptown glitz of the Upper West Side to the downtown bohemian chic of the West Village, from Chinatown to Little Italy, from Murray Hill to Midtown, you are presented with entirely different sights, sounds and even smells in each neighbourhood.

And as if this wasn't enough, interesting new areas keep on springing up with their trendy acronyms. The latest is DUMBO (we kid you not - it stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass!).

When it comes to things to do, you can expect to find out what ‘spoilt for choice’ really means. From the architecture, the history, the museums and galleries, to the clubs, theatres, restaurants and bars… holidays in New York tend to be busy!

Make a vague plan of what you want to see, but beware - the fizzing energy of Manhattan is bewitching, and it could carry you completely off course. Just make sure you see the best sights, like the Empire State Building with its amazing views, and leave plenty of time for the fabulous shopping! A New York holiday without a trip to Macy’s just wouldn’t be right.
