Traveling to the big apple can be really exciting especially if you are taking a New York City vacation. If you are looking to get the full feel of the big city then I suggest staying at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. It is placed right in the middle of the city and boasts some of the best service. You will be able to walk, catch a cab or take the New York City subway to the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty or to catch a New York Mets game if that's your team. There is so much do in this big city that a week is the least amount of time it would take to see all of the sights.
