New York
Golden light down every avenue.
New York is a city of grids and exceptions. Each borough, and often each block, has its own character.
Twice a year the setting sun aligns with the street grid, but any clear evening shows the avenues at their best.
Neighbourhoods
01
West Village
Tree-lined streets and small restaurants.
02
DUMBO
Cobblestones, bridges and skyline views.
03
Upper West Side
Museums, brownstones and Central Park.
When to go
Spring and autumn are mild and colourful. Summers are warm and humid; winters can be cold and bright.
Getting around
The subway runs around the clock. Walking is often the best way to understand Manhattan's neighbourhoods.
Where to stay
Midtown is convenient for first visits; downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn offer a more local feel.
