Food

New York is full of great places to eat. We will have an evening meal together for 3 nights and have chosen restaurants that are distinctly ‘New York’. Breakfast is a big tradition in New York – we have left this free for you to find when you are there. The Hotel serves a good breakfast and there is also some great smaller places in the surrounding area.

Travel whilst in NY

• We will try to get around New York by walking as much as possible.• Where journeys are too long for foot we will use the Subway system.
