New York, mini break
I have this urge to just get on a plane and go see New York for a mini break.
I have spent the last hour trawling through google for cheap deals, but i am getting figures all over the place. You see from £449 in the advert for hotel and flight then it comes back with like £1500 :mad:
Has anybody who has been before know of good places for cheap deals on the net/Any hidden gem? As everywhere seems to offer cheap deals then you pop the dates in and they come back with obscene figures.
I am looking to go between 28th Dec and 2nd Jan. Also is this a bad/good time to go New York? Will everything still be open like going up the Empire State building?

Everything will be open as normal but to be honest,this is the most expensive time of year for NY.
I think tickets are hard to come by.
And Rockefeller Center > Empire State.
Really?? Standing in a pig pen for 10 hours without being allowed out to even use the toilet?? Yes sounds really fun:eek:
Sorry.
Tickets at this time of year are more like 650!
Also, Times Square sucks. Queues begin at around 2pm and then you're crammed into midtown and stuck there watching lame entertainment until midnight. Dont forget its usually freezing there - temperatures around freezing point and lower... not a fun way to enjoy New Years in my opinion.
There are plenty of better, free things to do like the Central Park Midnight Run, watch the fireworks from Brooklyn Bridge as well as lots of bars and clubs. Its very busy, a lot of fun but very expensive to go over at this time.
But if OP has never been before, its worth seeing at least once. Any more than twice is maybe too much but it all depends on the person.
You wouldn't go back? I personally could quite happily live there, New York is my type of place. What made you go a second time then?
I would also recommend Vegas. I've been twice, but we're going back next year for my mum's 50th, and having turned 21 in September, I cannot wait!
