If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere! From museums to theaters, skyscrapers to historic neighborhoods, New York City has it all.

Picture It

Experience the Big Apple with your 2-night excursion at HI - New York! Located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in a landmark building just blocks from Central Park, HI-New York is the premier hostel in the Empire State hosting thousands of travelers from around the world each year. New York City has so much to offer that it’s no wonder why the city never sleeps. Indulge in the dozens of ethnic restaurants that the city has to offer. See the glitz and glam of it all by seeing a Broadway play or strolling down New York’s Fifth Avenue. You can even escape the concrete jungle for some quiet time by taking in scenic views found in Central Park or enjoying the view on top of the Empire State Building. Plus, you’ll get to end your day by meeting other urban explorers, just like yourself, staying at HI-New York. What better way to learn how to say “hello” in 5 different languages than by mingling with hostellers.
