What is good to know if travelling to New York?

• Central Park is a must visit on any stop in town. Go to the zoo, watch or play sport, go swimming or watch a performance at the open-air theatre in the summer months.
• Stop by Katz Deli where the movie When Harry Met Sally was filmed and shock your friends back home with a photo of you sitting under the sign: “Where Harry met Sally…hope you have what she had!”, referring to the best meal in New York of course.
• Shopping in New York is, of course, world-renowned. You can spend money everywhere from the biggest department stores in the world to tiny boutiques. If you’re planning on buying electrical goods, however, be cautious. If you’re in an electronics store, be on the lookout for scams – if a sales person starts by asking how long you’re in town they might be ready to set you up for a scam. Look out for used goods sold as new or being encouraged to buy something more expensive than you wanted because what you ask for is “unavailable”.
• Greenwich Village still has a name for being the arty and bohemian district, however, its popularity has led to such an increase in rents that it is now one of the most expensive parts of Manhattan. For a taste of where the artists and studentsreally live, try instead the cafes, craft shops and vegetarian restaurants in the recently gentrified East Village.
