Why New York Has Everything You Need For The Perfect Summer City Vacation
From waterfront restaurants to outdoor theater and island getaways, the Big Apple is brimming with joie de vivre for the perfect summer in the city "It's hard to understand why New York considers its summer the off season." , writes Sarah Turner Book a table at Cecconi's Dumbo, she says, which has a superb location with a cool waterside breezeTake the subway to Coney Island for fairground rides, three miles of beach and a all-american walk
AdvertisementIt's hard to understand why New York considers its summer to be low season. The wealthy may disappear in the Hamptons, but for others who stay to soak up the sun in its parks and waterfront, there's a real sense of exhilaration in the city.
Limited flights after the pandemic mean prices tend to be high, but there are bargains to be had. I took Aer Lingus' new direct flight - a beautiful new Airbus A321 - between Manchester and JFK which was launched at the end of last year. And there was an arrival bonus, because since Covid there are no customs forms to fill out, so I arrived at a fast track entry process.
Once in Manhattan, it became clear that there are other bonuses related to the pandemic.
New York is home to some of the world's most expensive restaurants and bars, but between July 18 and August 21 there's Restaurant Week (it's is extended to 30 days since its launch in 1992), where some of the best restaurants offer set menus at $29 , $39 and $59 (around £23, £32 and £50). Cecconi's Dumbo in the Time Out Market, which has a great location, is definitely worth trying to get a table there.
