Bike New York

Advantages: Very decent portions
Disadvantages: Not very New Yorky

...I recently visited New York and our first place of call for eats was Planet Hollywood Time Square. Now entering the place was great, you had all the memorabilia, which was really interesting. You walked up the stairs and into the bar area and up to the further floor. It was all very facinating and even the large black man in the toilet offering hand towels was mildly interesting yet intimidating. Once sat down I felt as though I was in a McDonalds. I had looked at the interesting Terminator Bike and now found myself sat at a chequered table with a music channel playing in the background, surrounded by Baseball pictures and records. At this point I felt as though my time in New York could have been better spent than in a glammed up Maccy D's. But I thought, I'm on holiday lets have fun! The waiter came over and I ordered...

Advantages: quiet, peaceful, not "cityish"
Disadvantages: almost no one in most of the towns, small populations, stores and gas stations very spread out

Advantages: character
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...York is my favourite northern city without doubt . Over the years I've been to them all and York is far and away the best . It has got something for everyone . York manages to somehow combine history with modern shopping and still retain it's character . You will never get bored in York in my experience . Walk round the castle walls for great views and a chance to stretch those legs but still remain only five minutes from the shops . York is more than just history though with the minster and castle . It has got the latest computer and mobile phone shops , take -aways , burgers everything you would expect and want from a city . Also a key point is it is so flat . No hills in the centre great if you struggle to walk far or are elderly. Lot's of people bike it in York as a result . All in all a place I can't get enough of . Unique !... Read review
