Native New Yorker • 31 August 2010

7 nights/8 days in the city that never sleeps.  Commences New York.  Fully escorted from only $5899 pp twin share

New York, is the one city in the world where you really need connections to experience the people and places you only ever read about.  Travelling Divas is proud to offer Margo Bowers' 'Native New Yorker' experience (now in its third year), where for one brief shining moment you are a New Yorker! There is so much to do in this town that it would take a lifetime to get through it, but Margo finds the best and brings it to you.  A well known Brisbane fashion stylist, Margo has spent years cultivating her knowledge of New York and her connections, hence her ability to deliver a stunning Native New Yorker experience.

Staying at Hotel-on-Rivington in New York's hip Lower East Side, you will discover a New York that tourists rarely experience..  A place of underpriced designer fashions and overpriced cupcakes; where bars and lounges can resemble Marie Antoinette's apartment or your grandparents' 70's living room, but represent the essence of chic.  Discover the hidden boutiques of Soho and the Meatpacking District to name a few, and then subject to stock, spend a day at the outlets picking up designer bargains.  Pretend you are Carrie and indulge in a limo for the day, stopping off at Saks to spend a few quality hours on its dedicated shoe floor (that has its own express elevator and zip code!) and then sashay over to Barney's and Henry Bendels to pick up that once in a lifetime indulgence that you can only find in New York!  Or take helicopter ride over Manhattan - truly breathtaking.

At night slip into your favourite LBD and hit the town, enjoying entree into some of the hippest places in the city, partying 'til dawn if you want!  Indulge in brunch at Pastis, one of the favourite destinations for the beautiful people....imagine the memories!

For those of you who have always wanted to experience the true New York, then this is the trip for you.  So come on, what's stopping you?  Join Margo and go native!!

GETTING THERE

We don't include airfaires as there are a number of airlines that fly to the USA, and since the competition has increased with the introduction of V Australia, we think it's better value to let you choose! So checkout V Australia, Qantas, Air New Zealand and United, or another option is to travel via Asia with Singapore Airlines or Korean Air. The possibilities are endless and we are here to help you find exactly what you need..
