BA had a decent sale on last month so ended up booking through them. Their flight prices added a few hundred quid extra from the back end of July and August like.
Wish we could, there'd be nobody to teach the class.
We booked BA for the same reason - saved £1400 against a skyscanner/booking.com combination for the same trip and hotel
Yea deals for School holidays seem to be only available well in advance or closer to the time if those weeks aint selling. Deals about now for Easter and summer and a couple of weeks ago for half term (not sure about NY mind) but seen them on sites like one posted for a few places and ideal for kids
I've found a few times that travelling to otherwise expensive cities, on otherwise expensive flights, BA Holidays offer a price where booking separately was almost twice the price. Flight and 4 nights 4* hotel to New York was about £200 more than just the flights would have been
I found BA very expensive when I was booking for last year - they only offered me The Marakech Hotel on 103rd St for about £3500. Bit weird as their site now has decent digs and flights for about £1200-1500 pp.
S&W nearly ruined a Christmas Day for me, waiter was such a prick.Not bad and excellent for groups, one plate of food is enough for 4 or 5 people. Always busy, been a long while since I've been.
Indeed there is, my old hood, Brooklyn Heights. Noodle Pudding, really good Italian and cash only, Jack The Horse, Henry's End, Henry Street Ale house for a pint of 2 or visit my old local Custom House, very friendly place.
If you visit Brooklyn, a little walk over the bridge see above. Plenty of other places within 5 mins of the Brooklyn end of the bridge, either in Brooklyn Heights or down in DUMBO.
KATZ is worth it, Burgers are staples at any bar, never really had a bad one, if you do then the rest of the food in that bar will be shit, its that simple.
Not BBQ fan, but been told Mighty Quinns in the Village is very good.
Steak, I was always a Smith & Wollensky man, maybe because my mate was a bar man now sommelier their. Peter Luger isn't to bad. As far as I am concerned all the steakhouses are all the same, nowt special.
Lobster, kill two birds with one stone. Visit Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant and have your lobster and see the amazing Grand Central Station.
Forget Little Italy, head to Chinatown and find a cafe the local Chinese workers goto, you'll be pointing at pictures for your food but its great. Right in the middle of Chinatown is a speakeasy called Apotheke, great place for a cocktail and surrounded by some good restaurants.
Hudson St has some great restaurants from the Village upto the Meatpacking district.
So many places to eat and probably every type of food you can think of, only one I would warn you off is Ethiopian, its rank, simple as.
Other than that, get a weekly subway pass, I think they are around $32 now, well worth it. Take some warm weather clothing as its brass this time of year and good walking shoes too.
Enjoy
They are massive to be fair,you get what seems like half a joint of beef in the thing .
