Helicopter trips. We took The Big Apple Tour a 10-12 minute one which was fantastic. It is essential to book as they were very busy and they also check ID carefully. We went down to the Statue of Liberty and back. Fantastic views. Well worth doing.

Very good steakhouse. Bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Very generous portions, good waiting staff. I had Steak Wollensky which comes with onions and mushrooms. Beware the size of the steak, they are large! We had the onion rings which were fab. I got my steak cooked exactly how I asked for it - very very well done. My mum had salmon which she said was beautifully cooked. The liquer coffee was not short in liquer and we had to take a cab back to the hotel as we were a bit squiffy!

Le Parker Meridien is a hotel, Normas is where we went for breakfast. It is supposed to be one of the best places in NY to have breakfast and I would not disagree. You can have anything from Normas Eggs Benedict to the Zillion Dollar Lobster Fritatta which comes with 10oz of Sevruga caviar at a cost of $1000. Good waiting staff who refill your juice and coffee without asking, plus you normally get a 'free' taster of the smoothie of the day. Superb breakfast for a real treat. I had Eggs Benedict, it was lovely.

Good food, but the really good part is the singing waiting staff. Some very talented singers here who interact with the diners.

On in December, I loved this production of the Nutcracker. The scenery was good and our seats were in the front rows. This is a 'must see' if you like ballet. Go the whole hog and buy a programme too to take home! Magical. Tickets on sale from September time.

This is the way to enter New York! Pricey, but worth it. Look out from the tinted windows and feel like a star, even though there are lots of other limos.

Good quality hotel, reasonably priced right on the edge of Times Square. Club rooms are nice, but are only on floors one through 15, so the views are just ok. If you want a good view, ask for a high floor corner room, they are just as nice as the club rooms but I think they have better views. The lifts have TVs in them and go so fast they made my ears pop! The beds are very comfy and are actually called 'Heavenly'. The staff are very helpful. The hotel is right next door to a cinema, and you don't even need to go outside to get to it.
