Every day millions of people from all over the world trek through the gates of the city’s three airports looking for that perfect holiday New York promises to be.

Sports fans will be delighted at the amount of top quality events held here and can take their pick from the very best of American sports. New York though, has a softer, more romantic side to it and this is perfectly encapsulated in the village of Soho.
