Podcast 33. Jet-Set to the Big Apple: Maximizing Points and Miles for Your New York City Escape
Pam
Getting to New York City is a breeze, thanks to the multitude of airlines that fly there.
When it comes to airport hotels, the options at JFK and LaGuardia are worth considering.
When it comes to accommodations in New York City, we have a range of recommendations. There is the highly rated and luxurious Park Hyatt New York, known for its spacious rooms and impressive indoor pool. Jess suggests the family-friendly Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Midtown East, which offers complimentary breakfast and spacious rooms with kitchenettes.
In terms of activities and places to eat, we highlight a few must-visit places. Los Tacos No. 1 in Chelsea Market is at the top of Alex’s list, giving high praise for its delicious and affordable tacos. Taking a stroll along the High Line, a public park built on an elevated historic rail line, is also high on our list for its beautiful views and greenery. The 9/11 Memorial Museum is a moving and well-designed experience, offering a deeper understanding of the tragic events. The Statue Of Liberty, Central Park, and Central Park Zoo are great places for families to explore.
