Why we love it
New York is energy distilled: galleries, theatre and a peerless dining scene.
We shape the journey around the season, the right places to stay and the way you like to travel, pairing it beautifully with the Hamptons or New England where it suits.

Swipe to explore · the neighbourhoods worth knowing
Manhattan · museums and old money
Upper East Side
The grandest stretch of Manhattan, where the great museums line Central Park and the townhouses are the city at its most discreet. Days here run from the galleries to a long lunch and an afternoon under the trees.
Don't miss
- The Met
- The Guggenheim
- Museum Mile
- Central Park
- Madison Avenue
- The Frick Collection
Manhattan · towers and theatre
Midtown
The New York of the skyline and the silver screen, where the great towers rise and the theatres light up after dark. Midtown is Broadway and the observation decks, the flagship stores and the rooftop bars.
Don't miss
- A Broadway show
- The Empire State Building
- Rockefeller Center
- Grand Central
- Fifth Avenue
- The MoMA
Manhattan · galleries and design
Downtown
The creative heart of the city, where cast-iron SoHo, leafy Greenwich Village and the cobbles of Tribeca meet. Downtown is the gallery openings and design hotels, the small tables and the High Line above it all.
Don't miss
- The High Line
- SoHo galleries
- Greenwich Village
- Tribeca dining
- The Whitney
- The 9/11 Memorial
Long Island · a coastal weekend
The Hamptons
The city's summer escape, a string of villages where the dunes meet shingled estates and farm stands line the lanes. The Hamptons are long beach days, coastal inns and seafood suppers, a gentle hour from town.
Don't miss
- East Hampton
- Sag Harbor
- Ocean beaches
- The North Fork wineries
- Montauk
- The farm stands
