This is one of the best times of year to visit the Big Apple. There is so much geared up towards the festive season on the island of Manhattan, it is unbelievable. There are various flight sales on at the moment with deals offered by BA and Virgin, so, if you want to do some great shopping before Christmas there really is no better place to go.
As well as the shops on Fifth Avenue, Fashion Avenue and Soho, there are allsorts of stalls and markets to get some festive presents to take back home. While you are there you may also want to take in a show, go up to the top of the Empire State building, or even go ice skating on the rink at Central Park or at the Rockefeller Centre.
Whatever you want to do, you can do it in New York and get into the festive spirit in one of the most amazing cities in the world.
