Advantages: Quite close to the city.
Disadvantages: Not enough shops

My partner and I visited New York last may.We flew into JFK which to be fair was smooth,the Immigration staff were friendly before hand we had been warned that they can be quite rude.But after what has taken place in the city who could blame them? We waited about 15 mins to get through immigration were they take your photo and your fingerprints.This you dont mind as you want to be safe in such a large city. The taxi rank is right outside were you ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful, peaceful, calming.
Disadvantages: Not much to see.

Strawberry Fields is a three acre landscape on the edge of Central Park dedicated to the memory of John Lennon. It apparently contains plants from more than one hundred countries. It is a spot that was often visited by John, and is only a few yards away from the Dakota Building across the street outside of which the former Beatle met his death in 1980. The garden is tear-shaped and contains a tiled mosaic. The tribute simply says, 'Imagine'. John's ...
...through funds from her that Strawberry Fields is maintained. In May this year I had enjoyed a romantic stroll through Central Park with my wife. It was cold and sunny. A beautiful New York day. We came across Strawberry Fields and it made us stop in our tracks. It is a very simple tribute, and there is not really much to it. I have no particular love for John Lennon, but this area of the park has an aura about it that nearly reduced me to tears. ... Read review

Advantages: not just sports, guided tour with knowledgable tour guides
Disadvantages: brief

...enjoy our recent visit to Madison Square Garden. I thought that it was going to be a sports orientated afternoon and I am not a big sports fan. My husband is though, so I went along with him. It turns out that Madison Square Garden is not all about sport after all! We both ended up having a great afternoon. The entrance fee was approx $15 per person and this included a guided tour of several areas of the venue. We had a helpful tour guide who was ...
...celebrities have performed and still do perform at the Garden. We had time and opportunity for some good photo opportunities throughout the tour. All in all, the Madison Square Garden tour was great value for money and an enjoyable hour (or so). Highly recommended for adults and children alike. ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of good sized shops with good discounts
Disadvantages: A day trip and New York City offers much the same in Macys

I have been to Woodbury Common a couple of times and know several people who have too. Mody of us are of the same opinion..it's great. However, if you are going to be doing any shopping in New York City the likely hood is that you will be able to find everything you need in the likes of Macy's, Century 21, Old Navy, etc. If you're passing Woodbury Common, and you have the time (there are loads of shops) call in, but I don't know if I would make ...
...might miss due to it.. It is very clean and family friendly though and pretty easy to find by car , if you have someone who can map read. The road signs in the USA take a little while to get used to. Also beware of the tolls. They are cheap, but sometimes you get a ticket which you then give to the next toll and the price depends on how are you have been. By cheap I mean $1 or $2. ... Read review

I walked through Grand Central quite a few times on my visit to NYC, what a place, busy at all times of the day, the ending of one of my favourite movies is filmed here, Carlito\'s Way along with Superman and many many more. The place is just so antique, I don,t think it ll have changed much the next time I go, the first time you walk your ll be in awe of the marble thats all around, I wish I could click my fingers and go there right now!
