WHY GO
Could this be the most popular holiday city in the world? Flying into JFK International Airport would certainly suggest so, and NYC is still is bursting with energy from morning till night.
WHERE TO STAY
The Library is a 10-storey mansion-style hotel named after the nearby New York Public Library, where you can enjoy comfort and peace in the middle of the Madison Avenue. The hotel is themed around books, which each floor dedicated to its own genre. 299 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017 (00 1 212 983 4500; www.libraryhotel.com).
WHERE TO EAT
Aquavit on 55th Street is ideally located between Park and Madison Avenues, and salutes the classic furniture and designs of chef and owner Marcus Samuelsson's Swedish heritage. It's the best place for minimalist food, and to sample some fantastic akvavit schnapps. 65 East 55th Street, New York, NY 10022 (00 1 212 307 7311; www.aquavit.org).
WHAT TO DO
Go to a baseball game: the rules might be a bit tricky to understand at first, but the game atmosphere and the ever-present hot dogs and beers definitely make up for it. Watch the New York Mets in Flushing or the New York Yankees in the Bronx - just don't mix the two up. Tickets to all sport events are available from Ticketmaster (00 1 631 888 9000; www.ticketmaster.com).
