A First-Timer's Guide to New York City - Intro

New York City - Gotham - the Big Apple - the City that Never Sleeps - whatever you might want to call it - is now the most visited destination in the United States.

In 2008, over 47 million visitors traveled to the City to enjoy its many famous attractions, entertainment venues, department stores, restaurants, sports teams, museums and neighborhoods. They came for pleasure, they came for business, they came for culture, for romance, for excitement ... for 47 million reasons!

New York City has so much to see and do. It's arguably the Greatest City in the World - it's the safest major city in the US - it's a great vacation destination - and yes, believe it or not, it's even friendly. Why, they even wrote songs about it ... so Start Spreadin' the News ... New York's got it all!


New York is home to some of the biggest, the best, the liveliest, the newest, the oldest, the tastiest, the matchless, the greatest and the utmost. The coolest thing, though, is that New York City is a perfect vacation destination for adults, kids, families, seniors, grandparents, honeymooners, groups and singles. Did I leave anybody out?

But with so much to see and do - and never enough time to see and do it all - it's so important to enlist the aid of a New York City expert to help you. I'd suggest you contact your travel agent or New York City Vacation Packages (www.nyctrip.com or 877-NYC-TRiP). An even better idea is to visit your travel agent and have him/her contact New York City Vacation Packages.

Your travel agent or New York City Vacation Packages (NYCVP) can help you make the most of your vacation time and show you how to take advantage of special prices that will save you money on accommodations, sightseeing, entertainment and meals.

In future blogs I'll let you in on some of the secrets of the City-

  • how to plan the perfect itinerary
  • how to dine without spending a fortune
  • how to get tickets to "sold out" concerts, theater and sporting events
  • how to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in comfort
  • how to avoid lines at popular attractions
