People enjoy traveling around the world during their holidays. Before traveling to New York, you"d better know the following tips. ★ Arriving in New York There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or taxi to any place in New York. ★ Public transport In New York there"s a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for ten journeys because it"s cheaper. But you don"t have to use public transport-there are lots of places you can go to on foot, such as the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue and Central Park. ★ Hotels There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is the Plaza on 5th Avenue, but you don"t have to pay a lot to stay in the city; there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA(基督教青年会)near Central Park is great for young people. ★ Eating out There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldn"t eat at McDonalds every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example. ★ Shopping Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices; you have to pay a special 8% tax(税)on everything you buy in New York. ★ Places to see Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York-Times Square, the Statue of Liberty. And you shouldn"t go home without climbing the Empire State Building to enjoy the scenery of the city. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
