Naturally New York

Hire a bike in Central Park from the Loeb Boathouse (around 72nd) for $9 an hour. Go ice-skating at the Rockefeller Centre from October to January, or until March in Central Park. And squeeze in a few crustaceans from the NY Oyster Bar in the cellars of Grand Central Station (www.oysterbarny.com).

Getting there

Holidays in New York, United States

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
There are three major airports: JFK, La Guardia and Newark. Buses run between Manhattan and JFK and La Guardia; see www.nyairportservice.com.
Boats
You can get water taxis, cruise liners and ferries from the west and southern points of Manhattan.
Trains
Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) provides all long-distance services from Penn Station.
Automobiles
A cab from JFK will charge a flat rate of $45 plus tolls. This is not the place to be renting a car: parking is a headache, while the subway and cabs are cheap and easy.
