four.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are lots of options for hotel rooms. \u00a0Your travel agent can help you find one that meets your budget and depending on your itinerary, with location since the island of Manhattan has unique personalities depending on where you stay. \u00a0Looking for all the glitz and glamour? \u00a0Consider something in the Times Square area. \u00a0Want something a bit quieter? \u00a0Something closer to Central Park or the upper East or West side might be more to your liking. \u00a0Just remember: \u00a0space is at a premium in New York. \u00a0No matter where you stay, the hotel room will most likely be smaller than what you&#8217;re used to seeing. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t mean though that you can&#8217;t get the amenities you like: \u00a0a free breakfast, wifi, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Getting around the city doesn&#8217;t have to be like taking a trek through the jungles of subway lines either. \u00a0Taxis and Uber are an efficient way and relatively inexpensive depending on how far you are going and how often you&#8217;ll use them. \u00a0And besides, who doesn&#8217;t want the thrill of at least one New York City cab ride in their life? \u00a0If you do want to try the subway, you can get almost anywhere you want to go and there is a New York City subway app that makes planning your trip pretty painless. \u00a0You also won&#8217;t look like the other tourists standing in front of the maps at the entrance to the subway lines.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12616\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12616\" style=\"width: 200px\"

little hole-in-the-wall establishments that \u00a0you can find on your own or can be recommended by a local or a seasoned travel agent.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you are combining this with a Disney cruise out of New York or one of the other popular cruise lines that sail from the New York ports, transportation can be arranged for you from your hotel to the port and then return you to the airport if you
