What to see in New York
Regardless of the season, a visit to the iconic setting of Central Park is an absolute must when considering your NYC travel itinerary. There’s no doubt that it is one of the city’s best parks for entertainment and you will find that there’s always productions and recitals taking place amongst the lawns, fountains, trees and picnic spots.
However if you are looking to take a hike, then you have thirty six acres of winding trails, rocks and streams that are just waiting to be discovered!
If you love musical theatre and are looking for a fun lunch experience, why not try Ellen's Stardust Diner which is a short walk away from the main attractions and Broadway.
This is a thrill-a-minute 50’s style diner that offers a great selection of menu options for visitors to enjoy whilst the waiters and waitresses sing songs from different musical theatre productions as far ranging from Hamilton to Wicked. Many of the servers have gone on to tread the boards on Broadway and other productions across the world.
Where to stay in New York
If you are looking for a central location but at a cost-effective price, then the YOTEL New York Times Square is an ideal choice for you when planning your trip to New York. You couldn’t really get a more centrally-based hotel that is within walking distance of the shops, Broadway and of course Central Park.
