Summer Vacations: NY City Among Best In The World, Ranking Says

NEW YORK CITY, NY — Though spring is in our midst, summer may be on the minds of travelers.

Global attractions could be alluring to some adventurers, but Travel + Leisure believes sights here in the U.S. stand up to worldwide summer destinations, such as Machu Picchu and Nicaragua.

So much so, the international magazine has added few U.S. settings to its recent list of 25 Best Summer Vacations Everyone Should Consider in 2024.

Among the popular summer vacation destinations is a New York powerhouse that regularly attracts tourists to the Big Apple.

But careful - Travel + Leisure recommends not acting like a tourist while in New York City.

With the heat pushing most New Yorkers out of the state, the magazine said less people can make for easier chances of securing restaurant reservations.

Visitors can also take advantage of rooftop bars and festivals, such as Shakespeare in the Park and SummerStage. Travel + Leisure also suggests visiting the Hamptons if people dare take on the out-of-town traffic.

Tripadvisor noted tourists can check out Broadway, go to art galleries in Chelsea, shop in SoHo or picnic in Central Park.
