If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere! From museums to theaters, skyscrapers to historic neighborhoods, New York City has it all.

Picture It

New York City has so much to offer that it's no wonder the city never sleeps.  Indulge in the city's dozens of ethnic restaurants.  Travel on the subways to experience riding on one of the world's oldest transportation systems.  See the glitz and glam of it all by taking in a Broadway play or strolling down New York's Fifth Avenue.  You can even escape the concrete jungle for some quiet time amid the scenic views found in Central Park or enjoying the view on top of the Empire State Building.  Plus, you'll get to end your day by meeting other urban explorers, just like yourself, staying at HI-New York.  What better way to learn how to say "hello" in five languages than by mingling with hostellers.
