When the autumn leaves start to fall at home and people are battening down the hatches, it’s the perfect time to wrap up and jet off to New York City. As the humidity of the summer disappears, it’s time to find some great restaurants for warming dinners, plenty of museums and activities to keep you busy indoors and some great outside spots for wonderful winter sunshine.

Foodies delight

New Yorkers love their food, and so will you very soon. There are literally thousands of culinary opportunities. Check out Creole 2167 on Third Avenue for great Southern American food and margaritas. Tasty Hand –Pulled noodles INC on Doyers St. in China Town will offer you the cheapest best meal you’ve ever had, especially if you go for the dumplings, and there’s something quite satisfying about seeing the chef making the noodles in the kitchen, before you get your chopsticks on them 5 minutes later. Patsy’s pizza on 118^th Street and 1^st Avenue guarantee you great big pizzas, and if you don’t finish it, they’ll box it up for you so that you can take it back and eat the rest for breakfast. If you have chance, make sure you do cocktails and brunch whilst you’re in the city too.

Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History really has to be visited to be believed. Everyone will tell you that you should go early because you need the whole day there, and they’d be right. It is absolutely huge and fascinating and fantastic and the exhibits and events bring the natural world crashing into the 21^st century. The Imax view of the universe will leave you breathless and the collection of dinosaurs, all be it their bones and fossils, is enough to bowl over the sulkiest of teenagers and shortest attention-spanned of children, not to mention museum-phobic adults. The scale and quantity of exhibits really is spectacular and will make you wish you arrived earlier, and there are a multitude of café’s and eateries sprinkled throughout to keep you refreshed on your journey.

Winter sights

The colder weather will do nothing to dampen the views from New York’s sky Scrapers and famous high rises. The Empire State building is simply a must, especially at sunset if your timing is right. As the sun goes down earlier you’ll have chance to get your tickets, do all of your queuing, see every side of New York lit up in night time splendour, and still have time to get back down in time for dinner and a night out in the evening. The Chrysler Building’s art deco detailing makes the lobby stunning and the marquetry elevator doors and views will persuade you that a trip to the top is almost compulsory. The ice rink, Christmas tree and panoramic views are also extremely good reasons to head to the Rockefeller Center on a winter’s break. Just don’t forget to take a walk around nearby Central Park for some Manhattan air and a true slice of the New York experience on the way there.                   

If you’re heading out to New York, those that pay for their flights using a travel credit card may be able to get added value not only from the air miles attained, but also from other benefits.
