Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
Public transport
In New York, there is a good bus and subway ( 地铁 ) service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for your journeys because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport—there are lots of places you can go to on foot, like the Empire State Building ( 帝国大厦 ), Fifth Avenue ( 大街 ) and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit.
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. A good one 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 the Central Park is great for young people.
Eating out
There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldn'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 big shops on Fifth Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices, you have to pay a special tax ( 税 ) for about 8% on everything you buy in New York.
