Do a search on here. Been covered a thousand times with loads of good info.

You'll be unlikely to get much advice now as no fukcer comes on here anymore

Biggest tip I can give is to not underestimate the weather, when it's cold there it's really really cold. We went in March 2008 and it was -8c and sunny.

We did four days in New York City and then flew to Washington DC and had four days there.

Both stunning places and equally worth a visit.

Next biggest thing is to make sure that your hotel has double glazing...

We stayed in The Gershwin which if you like Andy Warhol, is excellent but it's an old fashioned New York tenement building and not a modern purpose built hotel.

So, we were kept awake as all of the maintenance in the city takes place overnight. We had several nights of Bin Lorries, reversing beepers, pneumatic hammers and the police shouting at people rattling the old casement windows in their frames.

So, get a room as high up as you can and make sure it's double glazed if you are looking to get any sleep at all.
