Package Overview
Our flagship January 2028 New York package blends structure with freedom. You’ll arrive on 10th January, transfer directly to Hotel Beacon, and enjoy three nights in a spacious King Studio Room on Manhattan’s vibrant Upper West Side. The rest of your time is yours to explore: ice skating in Central Park, museum hopping along Fifth Avenue, and evening shows on Broadway.
Optional upgrades include a fourth night in New York or departure from Manchester for those based outside London. Add-on experiences—private walking tours, culinary experiences in Little Italy, or VIP access at sports and music events—are available at preferential rates through Louise and Scott’s local connections.
Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 – Departure and Arrival
Depart London Heathrow on the morning of 10th January 2028 aboard a direct scheduled service. Enjoy complimentary meals and in-flight entertainment as you traverse the Atlantic. Land at JFK or Newark in the early afternoon and use our fast-track immigration service. A private transfer will whisk you to Hotel Beacon, where you’ll check into your King Studio Room complete with kitchenette, marble bathroom, and panoramic windows.
Day 2 – Central Park & Museum Mile
Begin with a leisurely breakfast in your suite before embarking on a self-guided walk through Central Park’s winter wonderland. Head east to Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile—choose between the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s encyclopaedic collections or the Guggenheim’s iconic spiral galleries. Lunch at a nearby café can be arranged by Louise and Scott. In the evening, optional Broadway show tickets await, with prime seating courtesy of our advance bookings.
Day 3 – Lower Manhattan Exploration
After breakfast, take the subway to Lower Manhattan. Reflect at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, then stroll through the Financial District and board the Staten Island Ferry for a free view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Return uptown for hot chocolate at Rockefeller Center, followed by ascent to the Top of the Rock for spectacular cityscape panoramas.
Day 4 – Optional Extension or Departure
If you booked the three-night package, enjoy a final breakfast at Hotel Beacon before your private transfer to the airport. For four-night guests, spend the additional day exploring SoHo’s art galleries, the trendy boutiques of NoLIta, or the elevated High Line park. Louise and Scott can arrange a guided food tour or behind-the-scenes access to local studios.
Day 5 – Extra Day Highlights
Four-night travellers can dedicate this day to ventures across the Brooklyn Bridge, neighbourhood hopping in Brooklyn Heights, or visiting the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side. Top off your trip with dinner at a rooftop bar overlooking the Manhattan skyline—reservations arranged by your travel artists—before departing the following morning.
Hotel Beacon, Upper West Side
Hotel Beacon sits at 2130 Broadway between 75th and 76th Streets, steps from Central Park and Lincoln Center. The King Studio Room features a comfortable king-size bed, separate kitchenette with mini fridge and microwave, full-size work desk, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and a marble-appointed bathroom with luxury toiletries. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase city or courtyard views, filling your suite with natural light.

Booking & Payment Process
Securing your 2028 New York trip is straightforward. Choose your departure airport and the number of nights, then contact Louise or Scott to confirm availability. You will receive an invoice for the non-refundable deposit of £149 per person, payable by credit card, debit card, or bank transfer. Payment links and instructions are provided in your booking confirmation.
The remaining balance is due 16 weeks prior to departure and may be paid in instalments or as a lump sum. Upon full payment, you will receive e-tickets, hotel vouchers, transfer vouchers, and your personalised digital travel dossier. All funds are held in secure trust accounts under ABTA and ATOL regulations until you complete your holiday.

There are no hidden fees, and we always advise on comprehensive travel insurance to complement your ABTA and ATOL protection.
Travel Essentials & Insider Tips
Entry Requirements
British passport holders must obtain an ESTA waiver at least 72 hours before departure. Ensure your passport has at least six months’ validity beyond your planned return date. Louise and Scott provide step-by-step guidance and timely reminders to complete this process smoothly.
Weather & Packing Suggestions
January in New York ranges from −5°C to +5°C. Layering is key: pack thermal base layers, an insulated coat, waterproof boots, gloves, scarves, and a hat. Comfortable walking shoes or boots are essential for museums and city streets. Don’t forget electrical adaptors for US sockets and a daypack for daily excursions.
Currency & Payments
The US dollar is the official currency. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but carry small bills for tips (15–20 percent in restaurants, a few dollars for porters). Louise and Scott recommend using a contactless card or pre-loaded MetroCard for seamless subway travel.
Getting Around
The New York City subway offers the fastest way to cover long distances; buses and yellow cabs complement shorter journeys. Purchase a 7-day Unlimited Ride MetroCard if you plan extensive travel. Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are widely available. For scenic commutes, try the Roosevelt Island Tram or the Staten Island Ferry at no charge.
Connectivity & Apps
Free Wi-Fi is available in most hotels, cafés, and public spaces. For reliable mobile data, consider a local SIM card or an international roaming package. Essential apps include Citymapper, Google Maps, Uber, and OpenTable for restaurant reservations.
Health & Safety
New York is generally safe, but remain aware of surroundings, especially at night. Use official yellow cabs or licensed ride-hail services. Keep digital and physical copies of emergency contacts, travel insurance documents, and embassy details. Your travel dossier includes recommended clinics and pharmacies.
Dining & Cuisine Highlights
New York’s food scene spans street vendors to Michelin-starred restaurants. Savor bagels on the Lower East Side, pizza by the slice in Greenwich Village, barbecue in Koreatown, dim sum in Chinatown, and cannoli in Little Italy. For fine dining, book in advance at Eleven Madison Park or Le Bernardin.
Neighborhood Discovery
Beyond Midtown, explore SoHo’s cast-iron architecture and boutiques, Bushwick’s street art, and Brooklyn Heights’ waterfront promenade. Louise and Scott provide custom walking maps highlighting local galleries, hidden speakeasies, and artisanal shops off the beaten path.
