One of the greatest things about New York from a tourist standpoint is that apart from the main, obvious tourist destinations almost everyone has their own personal must see spots. Fans of certain TV shows or films will have parts of the city that might seem completely random to someone else but has a special meaning to them. This also works in another way, one of the greatest things about New York, even for locals, is walking around and discovering a location you may have seen on TV years ago or even the night before. The reverse of this is also true, even on your first visit to New York you may find yourself plagued with deja vu, wondering where you recognise a seemingly insignificant street from.

As you’d expect from the world’s biggest city, New York has an unbelievable amount of hotels to choose from, catering to all kinds of tourists. There is an area of New York for everyone, from cheap hotels in the small ethnic communities like Chinatown to the chic hotels of Manhattan where the stars themselves stay whilst visiting. We here at Travelbag pride ourselves on being able to find the right hotel for you, no matter what your preferences are.

A Range of New York Hotels

With so many hotels in New York it can be a daunting task to pick which one is right for you. That is why we have picked our favourites in each price bracket to make your holiday planning easier. For cheap hotels in New York we recommend the Wellington Hotel in Midtown. Located just 4 blocks from 5th Avenue and not much further from Times Square and Broadway, you will not find a hotel with a better location in this price range. Those who want to stay in Manhattan will love The Lexington Hotel, a popular hotel that is well known for personalising it’s service to each guest, a great reprieve from a city that has a less than stellar reputation for politeness. If you want to get even trendier than Manhattan then The Standard in The East Village is our personal vote for best hotel in New York. This hotel features pure luxury and some would say that the place screams ‘New York’ nearly as much as Lady Liberty herself.

Make The Most of Your Stay

There are far too many iconic things to do in New York to list here, but what if you want to stay away from the usual tourist traps for some reason? We have prepared this list to give you examples of some of the best alternative ways to spend your time in New York:

• Visit The Empire State Building at night. The Empire State Building may be one of the most iconic tourist traps in New York but not many people know it is open until 12-2am depending on the day. This means very little tourists and an alternate, night time view of the city that may even be new to some of the locals.
• Visit the Brooklyn Brewery. Brooklyn Lager is quickly becoming a very popular beer in the UK, why not earn yourself some hipster points that the local Brooklynites would be proud of by visiting the place it is made.
• Visit the Brooklyn Night Bazaar. This artisan market is located in the heart of the famous bohemian neighbourhood and features a great selection of independently made goods. A great alternative to 5th Avenue.
