The island of Manhattan continues to attract visitors from all over the world to its concrete jungle and vibrant hotel, restaurant and bar scene, not to mention the many sights that can be enjoyed along the way. The different areas of Upper and Lower Manhattan provide an eclectic mix of experiences that will only have you wanting to come back for more.
Manhattan Hotels
Home to some of the hippest and chicest hotels, Manhattan is a popular choice for travellers looking to spoil themselves and wanting to be at the heart of New York’s many sights and sounds. Hotels located near Central Park or the Empire State Building provide a perfect location and, for visitors wanting something a bit different, the Meatpacking District and Soho areas have several unique and hip hotels to choose from.
Things to Do in Manhattan
A ride on board a sightseeing bus is a great way to get the lay of the land on arrival in Manhattan. What’s more, most bus tours will throw in a boat ride to Staten Island, giving visitors the opportunity to view Manhattan’s skyline and the Statue of Liberty in all their glory.
A walk along Manhattan’s increasingly popular High Line is another way to get a great view of the city. Once a functioning railway line, the line has been restored to an impressive walkway and gardens that stretch from one side of Manhattan to the other.
The view from either the Empire State Building or Rockefeller Centre is a must. These sky-high buildings offer visitors a 360-degree view of the city that is guaranteed to be etched in one’s memory forever.
Shopping in Manhattan
For shopaholics, Manhattan offers endless shopping experiences. From its vintage stores to high-end designer shops, there is something for every budget and style. Alternatively, there is a lot of fun to be had window shopping along Fifth Avenue, the infamous street that is filled with designer clothes and jewellery stores.
No visit to New York is complete without a trip to Broadway to see a musical or play. The long street filled with sparkling theatres and advertisements is a view that is known the world over. The ‘Off Broadway’ experience – streets running along the back of Broadway - then has an extension of theatre experience for visitors seeking something more alternative or at a lower cost.
Eating out in Manhattan
Manhattan has long been a destination for food lovers and those who enjoy a few tipples. The area is known for its great brunches, trendy food joints and impressive cocktail bars that serve up anything from a Sex in the City-style cosmopolitan to a straight-up Manhattan.
Manhattan has various prohibition bars that give visitors a unique and memorable drinking experience. Either a knock on the door or a secret password will give you access to one of these bars and, if fortunate enough, some live music will be playing inside. Many of Manhattan’s rooftop bars also offer a drinking experience not to forget. Dotted throughout the island, these bars afford incredible views over the city whilst sipping on your drink of choice.
