from 34th to 14th Streets but it’s also very peaceful and a great way of gaining a birds-eye of the busy streets below. It is still beautiful in winter with some evergreen trees and berries. Mrs Jones enjoyed spotting sculptures and art installations along the path.


At the southerly end of the High Line, the Jones found themselves in the West Village. Here, Mrs Jones made her own pilgrimage to the ‘Friends’ building on Bedford Street and followed in the footsteps of Carrie Bradshaw, popping in for a cupcake at the Magnolia Bakery.


A trip to New York wouldn’t be complete without some shopping. A walk down 5th Avenue provides a whole array of shops including Saks and FAO Schwarz. And, of course, Mrs Jones insisted on a browse in Tiffany’s. For extra bling, Trump Tower is just next-door! Bloomingdales can be found on 3rd Avenue and Macy’s flagship store at Herald Square. Look out for a Visitor Savings Pass at Macy’s, offering a discount to international visitors.


The Jones finished their stay with a Broadway show. Feel good shows include the Lion King and Aladdin, along with such classics as Les Mis, Phantom and Chicago.


Food & Drink You can’t skip breakfast in New York, whether a plate of bacon, eggs and hash browns or a massive stack of blueberry pancakes dripping with maple syrup. To keep you refuelled throughout the day,

there are plenty of coffee shops, salad bars and delis, as well as those trademark crinkle fries at Shake Shack.


If you’re looking for traditional all American fare, the Brooklyn Diner offers such classics as chicken potpie and Nonna’s meatloaf. In search of the best cheesecake in the city, the Jones discovered Eileen’s Special Cheesecake in Nolita, which certainly lived up to its promise.


One of the most legendary bars in New York is PJ Clarke’s, where Frank Sinatra ended his nights on the town. In addition to their oyster bar, they serve to-die-for burgers and other classic fare. While you may think rooftop bars are for summer, head to the top of The Strand hotel for amazing views of the Empire State Building through the glass retractable roof. It’s a small, buzzy venue with a great choice of cocktails.


Where to Stay Mrs & Mr Jones stayed at the Millennium Broadway, a mid-range hotel, right near Times Square. Their Deluxe Room looked down onto the bright lights of Broadway. Although they didn’t spend much time in their room, it has a great location in the heart of the action. The hotel’s restaurant, the Bugis Street Brasserie & Bar, serves Pan Asian cuisine.


If you really want to push the boat out, the palatial Four Seasons Hotel occupies one of the most exclusive spots in the city, between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue. For something more boutique, The Refinery Hotel takes its name from the garment district’s millinery trade. It has a jazz bar and some rooms have views of the Empire State Building.
