New York in May

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Not to mention Central Park, the green lungs of the city where you can stroll along its leafy boulevards, paddle in ponds, jogging or skating around or even taking a horse-ride lesson In terms of healthy and sporty activities, you would be happy to know that the city of New York has a major event to feature in May. On the first week and precisely on May 4th, be ready with your own or rented bike for the BIKE NEW YORK event that takes place every year for an annual marathon. It is the largest mass cycling event in the USA organized with the aim to promote and encourage bicycling and bicycle safety. The tour route runs for 42miles, through the five boroughs of New York City and crosses over major bridges and under several others, including the famous Brooklyn Bridge !

In terms of accommodation, there are some options you can consider. Let’s say you hostels are the cheapest lodging you can find and there are a bunch in NYC. For a taste of Brooklyn, a lively and characteristic neighbourhood recently revitalized by artists, international students, art galleries and libraries, just passed the bridge, we recommend the Lafayette Youth hostel just 1/2 block from the subway station which takes you directly into Manhattan! They offer clean and comfy dorms and private accommodation. They also offer the opportunity to stay for long and have cheap monthly rates. In Manhattan, there are a few hostels offering quite reasonable prices for a private double and with fantastic location on the West upper Side, behind the Central Park. Try the West Side Inn, The West End Studios, the Columbus Studios, or the Continental Hostel.
