Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
Eating Out
There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldn't eat at McDonald's every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on 5th Avenue but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city; there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.
Public Transport
In New York, there's a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport—there are lots of places you can go to on foot, such as the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!
Places to See
Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York—Times Square, the Statue of Liberty. . . And you shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.
Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices; you have to pay a special 8% tax on everything you buy in New York.
