    Congratulations! I went end of March, here's some tips for you, we are 5 hours ahead of them, so if you're up at 4am, go out! its quite amazing seeing a city in the small hours when the streets are quiet. Go up the Rockefeller, again book this for a 8am viewing, we watched the sun rise and there was no one else up there, so we enjoyed a private viewing of the entire city, amazing! surprisingly nothing is too far, so buy some decent trainers and get walking, cabs are cheap though, we worked out it was a buck a block. Tip, tip and tip again, 20% is standard I'm afraid. You'll spend an entire day in Central Park. Most importantly though, have fun! I'm very jealous. If you want any more info, ping me a message, ive only scratched the surface :)

    I'm not the winner but that is awesome advice that I will be taking on board when I eventually go to New York. :)

    Wow thanks very much Louiseoc, some great advice there. Oh I have my Sketchers "Go Walk" which have just endured miles and miles around London last weekend (not a win) so they will be at the very top of my packing list.

    Thanks again. Still on a mega high :D

    Amazing win :) Been to new york twice, loved it!! It's definitely worth buying the New York Pass for the 3 days to maximise the things you can do. Works out much cheaper if you plan on seeing a lot of things :)
