Release Body: British Airways has created a new
British Airways Holidays website to provide customers
advice on where to shop, where to eat, where to stay, what to see,
ticket booking, as well as top tips for visitors to popular cities
around the world such as New York. From cultural
ideas like the Metropolitan Museum of Art to afternoon
outings like the New York Official Heritage tour,
there are lots of ideas to help customers plan their perfect trip
and make the most of their time in the Big Apple.
Shopping
is high on the agenda for most visitors and New York’s flagship
stores - Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue
- are always worth a visit. To ensure visitors have plenty of dollars
left over for shopping, the new British Airways Holidays
site also makes available accommodation suggestion and booking options
like the New
Yorker hotel which is minutes away from Macy’s
and a great budget option.
In
addition to simple shopping suggestions, the British Airways
Holidays site can provide tickets on guided New
York shopping tours around the Soho and
Nolita districts for site users looking for something
more quirky, the latest trends and innovative designer boutiques,
which takes in downtown Soho and is the perfect walking tour for
both shoppers and sightseers.
British
Airways Holidays has also recently added the popular Woodbury
Common tour to its wide range of New
York sightseeing trips options available in the city.
Only 50 minutes from Manhattan, this Mecca of designer
outlets has some 220 stores all crammed with cut-price treasures
enabling visitors to wander through the Gap outlet,
Nike factory, Versace and
Barney’s factory outlets to bag those bargains.
Additional
suggestions available on the site for anyone looking for a bit of
peace after a hectic day include heading to the Top of the
Rock observation deck and quietly soak up the sights of
the city. 70 stories high, the panoramic views are unobstructed
for 360 degrees through the glass panels and give a serene bird’s
eye view of Northern Manhattan’s landmarks;
even the Statue of Liberty can be seen in the distance.
New
York is known for good food and has over 20,000 eateries
to choose from, making dining
out in New York a daunting prospect for some. To help
prevent visitors becoming overwhelmed the site contains recommendations
like the Peter Luger steakhouse in Brooklyn –
voted best Steakhouse in New York for 23 years running, or to indulge
in a delicious cup cake from the famous Magnolia bakery.
The newly opened Danal restaurant on Fifth Avenue
having moved from its former home in the East Village is another
of the many suggestions, with a delectable French menu and a renowned
brunch.
To

site contains hotel information and the ability to pre-book rooms
to suit everyone, whether they're after hip and trendy like the
Hudson, classic like the Peninsula or
