Prelude
We have been talking about visiting NYC for many years now and we finally got a chance to see it when we took a family trip to the USA. We decided to first go to my sister in Ohio and spend a few days there. After this we would go to NYC and then go home to Norway from there.
Like most others we felt that we knew the city a bit even if we hadn't been there before. After all, the city is portrayed in so many movies and TV series, it sort ...

Advantages: Great Location, Clean and Friendly Staff Disadvantages: Views from hotel itself not great, no free wi fi
My boyfriend turned 30 a few weeks ago and for his present I booked us a trip to NewYork and the Wellington Hotel is where I picked for us to stay due to its central location in Manhattan.
Last Wednesday we flew out to NYC and checked into the Wellington.
If you didn't know already this is where part of the Borat film was made, the main scene being where he tries to unpack his things in the lift thinking its his room and so many Borat jokes ensued in the elevators during our stay.
The location of the hotel is amazing, its a 1 minute walk from Carnegie Hall, 2 minutes from Central Park and 5 minutes from Times Square and is located on the corner of 55th Street and 7th Avenue. The placement of the hotel was my favourite thing about it as it was just so easy to walk to some of the city's best attractions from here.

Advantages: Fabulous shopping, bargains, great sights Disadvantages: You will be tired and have foot pain at the end of the trip

Most hotels will let you check your luggage with them for a small fee so we left our bags and went out again for a last look around. We had another quick trip to Macys and I bought some more presents before we headed back for our final meal before heading to the airport. We ate at an Irish bar and collected all our loose change to put in the charity box before heading out. The hotel doorman got us a taxi and we headed back to Newark Airport.
This itself is big and has lots of shops for last minute gifts and very good value duty free. I paid $20 for a litre of smirnoff and a litre of bacardi. The flight left on time and we arrived back in Manchester the next morning, exhausted but very, very happy.
NewYork is a truly amazing city ...
