Before you go: New York

Anytime of year is a great time to visit New York City. Unless you are a totally spontaneous person, there are a number of directions you can take to turn your trip into the highlight of your year.

It will be impossible to see everything you want to see in the Big Apple unless you plan to stay for months, so your list of to-do’s and to-see’s needs to fit your time frame. Start by writing down absolutely everything you’ve ever dreamed of in relation to the city. Details can be added later. If your list seems bigger than your time frame and your pocketbook, save whatever is leftover for the future.

Have you been to New York City on a business trip? On a family vacation or to visit relatives? What did you do and what do you wish you had done more of? Is there anything you don’t want to repeat, any particular locations or glitches in your trip? What will you do differently this time?

Among your friends, families, neighbors and co-workers are those who have been to New York City. They have lots of ideas and advise for you on how to travel to and around the city, where to stay, what to see and where to eat. Ask for details and then take what they say with a grain of salt. Your perspectives are apt to be totally different.

Websites will supply you with the information you need for the kind of visit you want to experience. Start with the official tourism site at http://nycvisit.com. Equally useful and inspiring are http://www.nyc.gov and http://www.visitnewyorkguide.c om.

Fly into any New York airport, and you’ll find taxis and city buses to take you where you want to go. Many hotels provide airport to hotel service. Rates and accommodations are as varied as the leaves on a tree. Ask what AARP, AAA, government or other discounts are available. Find out which hotels cater to children (and do they offer babysitting services) and which allow pets. If you decide to drive, hotels offer parking, and it’s usually quite pricy. Remember, you’ll be expected to tip at the hotel, at restaurants, and in other situations.

If this is to be your first visit to New York City, having a guide will make this so much simpler. Your best bet is someone who already lives in the city and would be glad to show you around. Just remember that it’s your trip and take responsibility for all expenses, including theirs, such as meals, subway tokens, taxi fares and admission fees. Your guide will appreciate knowing ahead of time what you’d like to do and see
