Once the tallest building in the world, the Empire State Building is still a wonder, especially when you remember that its limestone form was thrown up in a mere 410 days during the Great Depression. The views from its outdoor and indoor observation decks are mind-blowing. Just be prepared to be patient. If long lines aren't your thing, skip the Empire State and take your crew to the Museum of Modern Art, the world famous home of everything from Picasso to Pollock. For a slightly quirkier excursion, treat the kids to Madame Tussauds museum of wax figures.
Ready for the iconic Manhattan experience and keen to brave the crowds? Then head to glittering Times Square, a pedestrian-friendly explosion of soaring skyscrapers, sparkling Broadway marquees, restaurants, and retail chains. Then take in a show or just the scenery at Rockefeller Center, the national landmark that, come Christmastime, features the most famous evergreen tree in America. For something family friendly but a little less crowded, take a trip to the High Line, a mile and a half of elevated park along the Hudson River that features wildflowers and outdoor art along its walking paths.
New York is as far north as you can get in the U.S. while still claiming a humid, subtropical climate. That means winters are cold and damp, with snowfall from December through early March and temps below freezing but never below zero. Summers are warm and sometimes sweltering, so look for a Midtown vacation rental with air conditioning. Spring and fall range from wet and windy to sunny and warm. You'll pat yourself on the back if you pack your rain-or-shine wardrobe, because there's too much to do to let a little water get in your way.
Most visitors don't think "nature" when they think of New York's most central neighborhood, but Midtown is right on the edge of Central Park, and the Central Park Zoo is a draw for travelers and year-round residents alike. Fan favorites include snow leopards, grizzly bears, penguins, and red pandas, and there's a children's area where kids can get up close and personal with a potbellied pig. Your Midtown vacation rental is also surrounded by a surprising variety of birds. Birdwatchers in Bryant Park report sightings of warblers, tanagers, vireos, thrushes, and chuck-will's-widows.
Fly into New York, NY (LGA-LaGuardia), the closest airport, located 6.2 mi (10 km) from the city center. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you could also fly into Teterboro, NJ (TEB), which is 8.1 mi (13.1 km) away.
If you're traveling by train, New York W 32nd St. Station, New York Penn Station and New York Grand Central Terminal Station are the main stations that serve the city. It's easy to get around Midtown by jumping on the metro at 42 St. - Bryant Pk. Station, 34 St. Station or 34 St. - Penn Station.
