Where to stay in New York:


Most tourists prefer to stay in the famous Manhattan, since staying in the area you'll be close to all the sights. For those visiting for the first time, with little time and wanting to see the most famous landmarks, this may be the best option. Regardless of where you stay, you don’t have to stay put in a single area, the city offers easy rapid transit through public transport. The Brooklyn that has been once avoided because of crime, is today a high destination for accommodation, and it does not deserve the old fame. It has numerous restaurants, bars, and an active nightlife.

You have the option of paying for it using cash, credit card or debit card, and you can hail a taxi anywhere in the city, you just have to throw your arm up for a vacant one (the ones with the roof light on top of the cab lit).
