Where should I stay for the first time in New York City?
The best place to stay in New York City– especially for first-time visitors – is Midtown Manhattan. We recommend the CitizenM and the Pod in Times Square, both of which we have personally stayed in. First time visitors to New York will usually want to stay in Midtown Manhattan. However, the hustle and bustle of Times Square can be too much for some people, so if you do want to stay in Midtown but prefer to be away from the noise, make sure to choose a hotel a few blocks away from Times Square.Midtown Manhattan is ideal for first-time visitors. Staying here puts you within walking distance of iconic sights like Times Square, Central Park, and the Empire State Building, as well as numerous dining and shopping options. It’s also a convenient hub for public transport, making it easy to explore the city.
Is York worth visiting?
York is a fantastic historic city to visit in the north of England. On our recent visit, we stayed for just over 24 hours, however I’ve visited a few times before. It’s a beautiful place with a rich history and also has some great options for food, including roast dinners with the local favourite Yorkshire pudding. One of the best ways to explore York is on foot. A stroll down any snickelway, wall or ings opens you up to a whole world of discovery. Embark on an adventure with your family through York’s picturesque landscapes and hidden gems.I’ve made many trips to York over the years but there are still places I want to see. You can hit the highlights in a day (two nights) but 3 nights is more realistic as there is so much to do and see in the City.York is a compact city with plenty of things to do within the city walls and beyond. This ancient city is best explored on foot, and it’s easy to get from one side of the city centre to the other in just 20 minutes.Its winding streets, beautiful shops and deep history give York a quintessential British appeal that attracts a vast amount of visitors each year.
