Pack your winter coat, gloves, scarves, hats, and anything else that can keep you warm. January is typically the coldest month of the year for New York City. You may even want to bring your snow boots along too, since there is a good chance you will see at least some snow during your stay as well.
While getting around New York City can be intimidating, especially if you do not frequent the area often, there are several reliable transportation options. Do yourself a favor, and don’t bother renting your own car. Traffic can be brutal, and finding a parking spot is just another element of stress that you don’t want to deal with.
Taxis are everywhere in New York City. Whether you need to travel a few blocks or get to the other side of town, a taxi will get you there. The subway is another common way to get around the city. With stops near pretty much anywhere you want to go, getting to your destination is a breeze, and the fare is only $2.75.
New York City is one of the most popular destinations in the country. Take advantage of all that this city has to offer by checking out at least a few of the sights and attractions while you are here.
Broadway – If your schedule allows, make some time to see a Broadway production while you are in town. There is nothing quite like seeing a Broadway show or musical in New York City. From The Lion King to The Phantom of the Opera, there is something to suit every taste.
Empire State Building – This world-famous landmark is notorious for its 360 degree views of the city. The 86th and 102nd floor observatories allow you to experience the grandeur of New York City and beyond.
Times Square – This popular tourist destination is home to restaurants, hotels, retailers, comedy clubs, exhibits, music venues, nightclubs, and more. Plus, this is also the place where the New Year’s Eve ball drops each year. Even if you don’t have time to check out many of the sights and attractions, you will want to at least be able to say you visited Times Square.
