    Advantages Advantages Sights sounds and wonders every minute

    Disadvantages Disadvantages City tax - the price you see - PLUS the tax

    I look back on my first trip to New York in March 2003 and wonder how could I have then had such a wrong-footed opinion of Manhattan. New York City centre of the universe!!! That is what some people will let you think - I was initially bitterly disappointed back in 2003 but having just taken my fourth week long visit I have not only understand Manhattan but have taken this amazing city to my heart, one day I will have to live there. I love the fact I could go off and get a veggie falafel at 4am or have Ukrainian cabbage fritters at 4.40pm on a Sunday. I love that there is always somewhere new ... more

    Advantages Advantages Loads to see, loads of clothes shops

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not cheaper that the UK, so much to see in so little time

    And so the journey began… Stansted airport was our first destination, we were lucky enough to book the trip just as the American airline Continental started to fly to Newark New York. Perfect for us as we only live 20 minutes from Stansted. Check in was very easy, just slightly different from normal as you had to clear security first. Then before I knew it we were in the air. The stewardesses were extremely hospitable and were falling over themselves to make you comfortable. The aircraft unfortunately was one of their older ones which meant no TV and computer games in the back of the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Many places of Interest

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I grew up in New York in a little dairy farming community about an hour away from the capital city of Albany were I was born. In high school I had pen pals by snail mail and every single one would ask how close it was to New York City like it was the only place in the state. There is so much more to the state than the city or I should say group of cities. There is a small village called Kinderhook which houses the home of the former president Martin Van Buren that you can visit and it says that it's halls are haunted with his ghost. This town is also were the Legend of Sleep Hallow took place ... more

    Advantages Advantages Something for everybody.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Should know what to expect in a diverse STATE!

    Whenever someone mentions New York, one immediately imagines tall buildings, traffic jams, rude people, concrete jungle, etc. New York CITY is often the mental image conjured at the mention of NY. New York State is so much more than New York City. Life tends to become a slower pace in Upstate New York. Upstate New York is anything north of Westchester County or New York City. The small area of New York City has the bulk of NY's population. There are close to 17 million people within NYC and 13 million in the rest of the State. The State motto is Excelsior(Ever Upward). State politics favor New ... more
