Shop for fashion from the catwalk – then see jungle cats.

New York is the fashion capital of the United States. But that's not all. It's also the home to titans of business, fine cuisine, cultural icons and the arts. And here you really can really see it all. That's what makes New York City getaways so incredible. Shop at Macy's on Herald Square or along Fifth Avenue for the latest in fashion. Then see what's going on with our neighbor at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Stroll up to Times Square with its candy-colored neon and feel the energy. Works by Monet and Van Gogh are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or see masterpieces created by Mother Nature at the Museum of Natural History. For perfection of another sort, watch the Mets, Jets or Knicks play. The Bronx Zoo is the largest zoo in the country and will thrill kids of all ages. There is so much great food here – a few standouts include Buddakan and Spice Market. But when you're on the go, we think it's hard to beat a New York bagel, soft pretzel or a classic "slice." There is so much to do here that it's impossible to see it all in one trip, so we hope you'll plan another New York vacation and come back as our guest again.
