Cheap flights from Ireland to New York- the Big Apple flights
The Big Apple - The term "The Big Apple" was coined by visiting jazz musicians of the 1930s who used the slang idiom "apple" for any town or city. Therefore, to play New York City is to play the big time - The Big Apple.
Travelling
to New York (or Manhattan, as that’s where everybody stays) for the first time
is a very strange experience. It is the world’s most well-known metropolis and
it has appeared in more films than any other city in the world. Upon first onset
you have to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not in one of those films.
What makes it even more surreal is the fact that it is just like it is in the
movies. Steam tufts from manholes all over Manhattan, hardly a moment goes by
when your eardrums don’t catch some hint of a car horn or siren, and men stand
impatiently at hot dog stands which decorate every second street corner.
But something that you may expect is that Manhattan is not all skyscrapers and
hectic streets. Once you make it into downtown areas such as Greenwich Village,
Chinatown, Soho and the East Village you begin to notice the surprisingly high
number of low-rise buildings.
Even though most people who travel to New York don’t make it past Manhattan, you
have to remember that this is only one borough of five. Queens, the Bronx,
Brooklyn and Staten Island make up the rest. If you have the time, take some
time out to see the sights of what some of the others have to offer.
Think Christmas shopping think New York City, to Macy's, Bloomingdales, Tiffany & Co and Saks Fifth Avenue.
