Welcome to New York City, New York

‘These streets will make you feel brand new, the lights will inspire you. Let’s hear it for New York!’ The Big Apple is home to 8 million dreams that walk the streets beneath some of the world’s most magnificent landmarks. Find a hostel downtown and you can stumble out on to those streets that never sleep any time, day or night. The city centre, awash with iconic sights, will keep you out of your dorm from dawn to dusk as you trek through the wilderness of Staten Island or the concrete jungle of Manhattan. Grab some cheap food near your hostel or impress your group of friends by getting them into some backstreet speakeasy. So backpacker yourself up, book a New York youth hostel and let the lights inspire you…

Metropolitan Museum of Art

The second largest art museum in the world, with two million pieces of art spanning 5,000 years. Buy tickets online ($25) to avoid the queues or rock up and wait in line to pay what you want. Get there during the Museum Mile Festival in June, and you might even get in free of charge. As a backpacker you can visit whenever you like, so aim for Mondays - they tend to be quieter.

Manhattan

With a heaving population (1,636,268live in an area of 22 square miles (59 km2)) and known as the cultural and economic centre of the US, Manhattan is a must-see, as 56 million tourists and backpackers a year will tell you. It includes Times Square, Central Park, Grand Central Station, Broadway and no fewer than three universities. Best time to visit is before or after a long weekend.

Red, White and Blue: July 4th Weekend in NYC

If you want the full-on US, experience, book your hostel for this weekend. It’s a two-day celebration of all that it is to be American, with fireworks, free concerts, flags and festivities. All across the city centre, landmarks are open, shops are selling and hot dogs are being eaten.

Central Park Summer Stage (August)

From June to August, a hundred shows pop up in 17 parks across the city. From modern dance and international music to spoken-word performances and concerts, SummerStage is well worth arriving early for because the queues get big quickly. The Upper West Side hostels close to Central Park make a great choice for this one.

Eat cheap

Avoid Midtown for food. A better bet for backpackers is to look for delis with salad bars, or grab something yummy from a bodega and eat it in a park while people-watching.

Medical Assistance Medical care in the US isn’t cheap, so make sure you have medical insurance in your travel insurance. If you haven’t, you’re better off visiting a clinic than going to a hospital ER department. You can call a doctor for advice on http://www.travelmd.com/ or talk to http://www.med.nyu.edu/nycfreeclinic/ for help. Always ask how much it will cost up front – everyone does!
