New York City is a wonderful city to spend the weekend. There are many different ways to entertain yourself here. By either going to see a show on Broadway, shopping, or taking a tour of NBC Studios the possibilities for fun are endless. If your looking for a room with a view, New York is the place to be. There are many nice hotels in the city that accommodate all budgets. The most famous, and definitely most expensive hotel is the Plaza Hotel.===== For those that are not looking to spend that much money the W Hotel offers a sleek, modern city -feel and has three locations: Downtown, Times Square, and Union Square. You may need to pack your best parka because the high in NYC this week is 66 degrees with a chance of rain everyday. With a population of 18, 976, 457 there have to be some colleges and universities within the city. New York University, located in Greenwich Village has a good reputation and is fairly difficult to get into. Marymount Manhattan, Berkeley, and Columbia are among the other universities NYC has to offer. In such a massive contrete jungle, one would not expect such an extensive park like Central Park. Famous for its beauty and size, Central Park is a great place to go jogging, walking, rollerblading, ice skating, or biking.
