A New York Valentine’s Day!
It`s not too late to plan a spectacular, romantic surprise for your loved one on Valentine`s day. What could be more exciting and romantic than a last minute trip to New York City? On-line sites such as lastminute.com and LateRooms.com are offering great last minute deals on New York City breaks offering everything her heart could desire. Top of her to-do list would surely be a tour of the shops, taking in iconic stores such as Bergdorf Goodman or Century 21, or arrange a customized shopping tour with Stylista Shopping Tours, guided by a native New-Yorker and tailored to suit her personal tastes.
If sightseeing is her thing, it won`t even cost a cent to board the Staten Island Ferry and cruise through New York Harbor past the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Governors Island, with a fabulous view of the skyscrapers of Manhattan across the waters of the Hudson. Staten Island itself boasts a wealth of historical and cultural attractions including the largest collection of Tibetan art outside Tibet. The collection is housed in a Himalayan-style monastery building hanging from the side of a cliff!
Other must-see sights, with that all-important whiff of romance, are Central Park from the back of a horse-drawn carriage and the sun going down over the city from the top of the Empire State Building, followed by a darkness pierced by the myriad lights of the city that never sleeps breathtaking. After sunset treat her to a show on Broadway or perhaps something more high-brow at Carnegie Hall or the New York Philharmonic Symphony. New York really does have the best of everything on offer.
Been there, done that? It would take a lifetime to explore all that the city has to offer but seasoned travelers to New York looking for new ideas for a romantic getaway might consider “http://www.carhiredirect.co.uk/travelguides/cheap-car-hire-new-york-from-car-hire-direct.html”>car hire in New York</a> as a way to journey further afield and visit one of the popular holiday destinations of New York State, such as Long Island and the Hamptons. Or, for a real blow-out, romantic odyssey, how about a day trip from New York by air to Niagara Falls (about an hour`s flight)? The “Maid of the Mist” boat trip to the base of the falls is not available in the cooler months from October to May but the “Journey behind the Falls” is available instead. The awesome, thunderous power of the mighty falls is a never-to-be forgotten, elemental experience. Happy Valentine’s Day!
