Arriving
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or taxi to any place in New York.
Public transport
In New York there’s a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to take the subway a lot, you’d better buy a subway ticket for ten journeys because it’s cheaper. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take a taxi at least one time during your visit.
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on 5th Avenue, but you don’t have to pay a lot to live in the city. There are lots of smaller hotels.
Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are many big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. When you go shopping, you should take more money because you have to pay a special 8% tax(税) for everything you buy in New York.

He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.
In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said, "Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."
