Take a Summer Break in New York City
From The Bronx to Manhattan, New York's City's diverse neighbourhoods and eclectic cultural scene has made it one of the most desirable holiday locations in the world. A vacation in New York City can incorporate a variety of attractions: from the iconic Statue of Liberty to the uptown galleries of SoHo. However, in the summer, holidays in New York in can involve much more as the city's vast green space and open parks really come to life.
Take a summer break in New York City and you'll find that the city's main landmarks glisten in the sunshine. For instance, the ferry trip to Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty is much more pleasant in the summer and the view from the landmark's summit seems all the more stunning. Additionally, explore the delights of Times Square and before heading down Fifth Avenue to discover the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Plaza.
New York's fine summer weather also allows tourists to appreciate some of its most beautiful architecture in style - including the New York Public Library, seen by many as one of the best examples of Beaux Arts architecture, and the Grand Central Terminal, whose vaulted ceiling adorned with a medieval zodiac design continues to astound both travellers and New York residents alike.
If you want to spend some of your summer holiday in New York indoors, make sure you spend them in the city's most celebrated art galleries and museums. Manhattan is replete with some of the world's finest art collections and America's most prestigious historical artefacts. Among New York's finest museums are the Guggenheim Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Jewish Museum - all of which can be found in the environs of Manhattan.
But if you really want to make use of the spectacular summer weather in New York, make sure you spend time in some of New York's best parks. Each borough of New York boasts its own unique park spaces, the most popular including the Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx and Flushing Meadow Park in Queens. However, the crowning glory of New York City's parks is surely Central Park, which offers all who pass through a chance to escape the city's dense array of skyscrapers and crowded streets. While in Central Park, enjoy the serenity of the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain or take in the tranquillity of Strawberry Fields - a section of the park that's dedicated to the memory of former Beatle John Lennon.
Central Park forms a fabulous intersection between three of New York's most famous neighbourhoods: the ritzy Upper East Side, the charming Upper West Side and the bustling area of Harlem. As a result, Central Park acts as a fantastic point from which to navigate the complex streets of New York, and tourists in New York City will be able to find an array of hotels in Central Park, Manhattan to suit their purposes. So whether you plan to spend your summer break in New York taking horse-drawn carriage rides in the sun or exploring Central Park Zoo, make sure you make the most of the sunshine in this dazzling cosmopolitan city.
