New York is an interesting and lively city. If you come to New York for the first time, here is some information that you may find helpful.
Public transport
You can come to New York by plane. 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. In New York there's good bus and underground service. If you are planning to take the underground a lot, you can buy an underground ticket for ten journeys because it's cheaper. Sometimes you don't have to use public transport; you can walk to many places, like the Empire State Building, Fifth Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxi is also part of the city experience, so try it even once during your stay in the city!
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on Fifth Avenue, but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city. There are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.
Eating out
There are many kinds of food in New York and you needn't eat at McDonald's every day.
There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are many big shops on Fifth Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices, because you have to pay an extra 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, etc. You shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery (风景) of the city.
