Holiday/Honeymoon in New York?

Question

Hi,
I am thinking about spending my honeymoon in NEW YORK.
Just its very hard to find any travel agents that go there for fair prices.
Can anyone give me any advise on who to use, and the sort of prices expected4d to pay.
I want to go for 5-7 day and stay in a fairly nice hotel 3/4 star.
Possibly doing a City Tour in the price of the holiday.
Do New york Hotels do All inclusive??

Any help/advise would be great.
Thanks

Hello! New York is a great choice - we went to NY our honeymoon four years ago! We stayed for 7 nights and I booked the flights and hotel separately - flights with BA and hotel through Hotel Pronto, we stayed at Hotel Thirty Thirty. We paid just over a thousand pounds for this - I think now four years later you'd be looking at around £1200 - £1400 approximately - flights have have gone up since then. Hotel rooms in NY are a bit on the small side but it is a large city and you'll be out sightseeing most of the time anyway (mind you - you ARE on your honeymoon lol!!!). I've never seen a NT hotel do All Inclusive but I'd advise against this anyway - you don't want to be tied to your hotel for all your meals and drinks - get out there and see the sights - a lot of hotels don't do breakfast either - ours didn't - we used to grab a hot dog from a vendor and saw the city. We booked a Hip Hop tour through Hush Tours - google them - this was extra and wasn't included in the price but you sound as if you want one of them "open bus" type things like they do in London. Whatever you do you are going to love New York - fab city! xxx (PS: if shopping is on your to do list visit Century 21 - opposite Ground Zero - cheap as chips designer clothes, mind you we did have a good exchange rate when we went I think it was $1.9 dollars to the pound but still its a little better now than it was!)

Dave that is a great idea it is a safe city lots of cops so don't worry
about that at the subways on the streets you can save money by using the bus and subways to your destinations instead of a Cab it is costly getting a tour of sorts so do it on your own look at it this way it would be fun for you and your partner as an adventure going places together have a great life together this is a fantastic idea Dave i wish you both much wedded bliss:) try red roof Inn they are a great hotel.

If you utilize a "reliable" travel site, you can find all inclusive packages.
Just one click and a few info and your hotel, airfare, (sometimes airport/hotel transport) is booked for you. The only thing it won't do is pack your things for the trip. ^_^

Instead of going through a travel agent who is going to charge you a fee ($50 or more) for the same thing that you can do on your own, look on the airlines websites directly or try to look for package deals. You will save a lot that way.

Be careful you dont get mugged, robbed and or shot. Take it from someone who lives here. unfound rapists, murders. Cops who will shoot you for changing your lane into theirs so on, check the news before you come here

Love NY - been lots of times. I book our flights with the airline direct and then search for hotel deals on hotel.com. My favourite hotel is The Rosevelt. It's near Central Station and a nice walk to Times Square. I've never, ever seen any trouble in NY so ignore the comments about trouble. There are lots of open topped buses that do tours around and you can hop on and off all day. You just get your ticket at the start (we went from The Empire State Building). There is a guide who points out everything and it's a super way to see NY. Go to the Rockerfella Centre - you can book for Sunday brunch and it's fab with stunning views of the city. You can also book an evening river cruise with disco and dinner, very romantic! We went last year for 3 days and did it for £550 per person. You won't get a hotel that does all inclusive but you can eat cheap enough if you find the cafes. Have fun!
