OYO Hotels in New York City, NY

The most populous city in America, this city needs no introduction. Some of the most visited tourist attractions of America lie in New York. The city is a hub of monuments and movements, of museums and metropolitan culture, and to experience any of these popular places, you can head to

• Statue of Liberty- The defining crown of America’s image is the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France. It stands as a symbol of freedom and encapsulates the motto upon which the country was built. One of the world's largest statues, it measures up to 152 feet in height. For the best views of the statue, you have to take a short boat trip to Liberty Island. This gives you the chance to walk around the base and explore its pedestal. Given that New York has landmarks at every turn, a boat expedition to the Island will also bring you in close proximity with the Immigration Museum.
• Metropolitan Museum of Art- Popularly known as “The Met,” this is one of the busiest museums in the world and undoubtedly the most popular. The main building is situated on 5th Avenue, on the upper east side of Manhattan, and is the largest art gallery in the world. Its collection is a compilation of pieces from classical and ancient Egypt, antiquated sculptures from Asia, paintings from Europe and a rich and exhaustive collection of American and Modern art. You will feel like you are in another world while exploring the diverse exhibitions.
• Times Square- If you have felt the pull of the magnetic lights from the billboards and the white and black checkerboard roads have drawn your eye in movies and magazines, you are well aware of the buzz that surrounds Times Square. Home to many iconic theatres and restaurants, it is an area of New York where life never slows down. A pedestrian-friendly square, you can walk down to the Paramount Building or make a stop at the MTV Headquarters.
• Coney Island- This much-visited island is flanked by Manhattan Beach on the east, the Lower New York Bay to the south and west and Gravesend to the north. Its origins have been a topic at the centre of many debates, but the undisputed fact is that Coney Island has transformed from a beach resort into a full-fledged neighbourhood that has its own unique flavour much like the other areas of New York. Amusement parks, baseball stadiums, and the MCU have given a new life to the Island.

Nothing defines New York quite like bodega bacon, egg & cheese. DiFara Pizza of The Classic has long lines of people waiting to get their hands on a mozzarella-laden 12-inch delight. A tiny shop on Roosevelt Avenue that is a progression from a street cart, “The Arepa Lady” as she is fondly known, whips up the best Columbian arepa de chocolo.Chinatown, in the lower part of Manhattan, is the hub of frenzied activities. Chicken and waffles, a comfort food like no other, is a speciality of Red Rooster Harlem. L&B Spumoni Gardens have been famous for generations for their Sicilian Pie so grab a seat at the massive backyard of this restaurant in Gravesend, Brooklyn.

John F. Kennedy Airport is the busiest and chief airport in New York. Upon disembarking, you can hire a taxi to take you to the hotel OYO Hotel JFK Airport which is the nearest hotel to the airport, taking you ten minutes in traffic. It is at a convenient 1.8 miles from the airport. The city’s boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx are well-connected via rail and the mass transit Subway is the best option to get around New York. Buses are another alternative that requires the same MetroCard as the Subway. The proximity of New York to water means that it has a developed ferry system that takes passengers to uptown and downtown Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey.
