This is the Official Holiday FM Travel Guide to New York, including information from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Know Before You Go campaign.

Known The 'Big Apple' and the 'City That Never Sleeps', New York is a city of superlatives: the tallest buildings, the best shopping, the most exciting place in America for culture, business, architecture, and nightlife.

For all its attractions and eight million residents, New York remains a city of neighbourhoods with their own distinct feel - whether it's trendy Greenwich Village, the sophisticated TriBeCa, or one of the ethnic enclaves such as Little Italy or Chinatown. The pace of life in New York is so fast, so frenetic, that you might not feel like you have been on holiday by the time you return home, but one thing is for certain, you’ll come back time and time again for another bite of the Big Apple, so don’t worry too much about trying to fit it all in.
