Has anyone here been on their own on a trip to New York? I've asked a couple of friends, but no-one can come, so looks like I'll be going on my own.

Is it just too sad to even contemplate, or do you think I'd still get a lot out of it?

What sort of prices (flight only) have you found, with whom and around what dates? Just want to check them against what I can find - Ireland to New York seems to be in and around the £530 mark. But maybe you're just in the 'thinking about' stage?

I've just changed all my tesco deals over to airmiles, so it would be an airmiles flight.

Also been sent a link to a credit card giving 25,000 bonus points meaning I could get 1 night free at a Crowne/Intercontinental/Holiday Inn, or could get 2 nights if I added a bit of cash to that.

Was originally going to go with a friend and was thinking of 4 nights, but if I go on my own might make it 3.

Go for it Ladyshopper, its not sad at all and Im sure you will get chatting to lots of people on your trip You could always see if you can get a big apple greeter too if you fancy a bit of company and someone to help show you around.

Last time we were in NYC, there was a group of us and one girl spent a lot of time wandering around on her own. She toured round on the on/off bus tours and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

I'm sure you'd have a fabulous time, even if you were by yourself. Plus, you don't have anyone complaining if you want to do something they don't (or, if like me, you want to do a lot of shopping!).

Thanks for the supportive comments. Think I probably will go, don't see why I should miss out just because my mates are boring!!

Hi
Which is better: Club quarters or Manhattan Center Hotel(formerly Rockefeller Center Hotel), they are both in the building so i dont know if they are the same hotel or separate hotels.

Thanks

Thats correct, is there any differences as we dont know which one to book!!!

Sorry, not a clue! But you can read the responses on there and maybe that will help make up your mind.

The Manhattan Centre Hotel gets a higher rating - that usually makes a difference to me Is there much difference in cost?
