New York City Travel Guide

New York City Travel Guide. New York city is a fun and exciting city to visit.

New York City Travel Guide We love to visit New York often, both as a family and as couple. Although I have to be honest with you, we find it busy and chaotic at times, so we limit our visits to 2-3 days. It is only an hour flight for us, so that makes it easy to do.

New York City has a special place in our heart as Warren and I had our first romantic trip away to New York City. We stayed at the Plaza and it really was magical!

It's amazing to see the different cultures, the immense size, the speed and energy and the chaos yet organization of the city. It really is like no other city on earth. Each area has it's own distinct neighborhood that offers something unique.

There is something for everyone, attractions, shopping, the lights of Times Square, shopping, museums, shopping, Broadway shows, shopping, fine dining to street fairs. It is very hard to be bored in New York and really everyone will find something that interests them.

You may ask when is the best time to go? There is always something going on in NYC, but if you are talking about weather then personally we like April/May, September/October or Christmas. We have been over a dozen times and I think we have been at every time of year. See our thoughts on New York City weather here.

There is so much to do in this amazing city. So make sure you do your research and plan your days, otherwise you may find you don't have enough time to do everything you were hoping for. This New York city travel guide is a good place to start!

It is a great city for a romantic or a family vacation, continue on to see some great New York Vacation Ideas!

New York City Travel Guide - Neighborhoods

There are many different New York neighborhoods to wander around, and they all have a different flare to them. The best thing to do is to learn about each neighborhood and create your plan around them. It is important to know where each neighborhood is and what they offer so you can choose where to stay and where to tour around.

A few of our favorite neighborhoods (to tour around) are:

Times Square

Little Italy

Chinatown

Lower Manhattan

Midtown

Hells Kitchen

Upper East Side

Tribeca

We love to stay in Midtown or Times Square as it is easy to get around from either of these two neighborhoods.
