At least once a month, you can find one of the best shows in town. You just have to know where to look. Home of "sort-of secret" dance parties and comedy shows, Secret Loft has operated for the last three years in Bushwick's McKibbin Lofts, about thirty minutes out from our hotel at Times Square.

For those visiting the Big Apple hoping to leave with a little more history under their belt, there are multiple tours through the city that provide insight, inspiration, and weave tales of the rich history of New York City. But there is no other tour quite like the one that includes a visit to three of the most culturally rich and historic areas in New York City. Take a walk with your guide and the rest of your group through SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown.

The city, with all its lights and splendor, can occasionally be stressful for tourists who are unused to the fast pace. So if you have time during your visit to chill out for a bit and escape the heat, find some rest and relaxation at one of the many spas New York City has to offer.

If you go to New York City and don't manage to get in a horse drawn carriage while visiting Central Park, you've missed out on a staple experience for tourists everywhere.

For those who like their nights out to be a little more complex or exciting, New York City is known for its many "secret bars."

Let us suggest the classy and polite speakeasy Please Don't Tell, located about twenty minutes from the Manhattan at Times Square Hotel via subway.
