Those after a dose of Sex and the City luxury in New York will find no shortage of glossy clothing boutiques, sleek cocktail bars and celeb-sprinkled lunch spots, especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn (Cosmopolitan, anyone?).
Cheap holidays in New York are also possible, especially if you shop around for all-inclusive New York deals. You certainly don’t need to splash a wallet-full of cash to enjoy yourself.
New York’s stirring city views come without charge when you hop aboard the free Staten Island Ferry that runs 24/7 from Manhattan to the borough of Staten Island. Salute the Statue of Liberty along the way – this symbol of freedom and possibility has welcomed scores of immigrants who’ve given this city of islands its unique blend of flavours.
