Jefferson Market Courthouse, New York

Advantages: The City that never sleeps, it has everything!
Disadvantages: Very little, having time to fit everything in

...would give over to shopping, go to all the big department stores, and my favourite, Moddells, a great sports shop that has everything you could wish for if you're a sports fan. There also a few nice shops down by the Brooklyn bridge and you can also get great views of it down from the piers. You're final day you should dedicate to exploring the less famous sites of New York, or just wandering around, the Staten Island ferry is a great way to see the Statue of Liberty, and going off Manhattan Island can also offer it's treats, I loved Long Island and it can feel like a world away from the hustle and bustle. Taking the Long Island Rail Road down to Port Jefferson will take a couple of hours but you will find yourself in a beautiful port town with some really nice seafood restaurants. For eating, almost anywhere will do, New York offers... Read review

Advantages: Good shopping. Best buys are trainers and Levi Jeans
Disadvantages: Noisey, crowded. Its a city.

...will find an amazing range of modern and contemporary pieces. Try the Museum of Modern art and the Guggenheim. the Whitney museum of American art is a particular favourite. Admissions are quite reasonable, however I had a student ID card which got me discounts. Who can go to New York without a little shopping, and where better to spend your money. Fifth Avenue is a good place to start. With designer boutiques and department stores here, such as Saks and Nike Town. Times Square houses several large malls, but if you are looking for bargains, why not head to Soho, to the discount stores and street markets. When you need to get away from the noisey, crowded streets, take a stroll in Central Park. It take you away, but you never quite loose the city feel , as you can see the high rise buildings all around. Eating out is cheap and theres... Read review
