City Information
New York
New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world for a reason – it offers numerous opportunities for a great time to visitors of all ages and interests. For the culturally inclined travellers, the city boasts a unique collection of world-famous museums, as well as the chance to see the best plays and musicals that Broadway has to offer, or check out the latest production at the Metropolitan Opera. If sightseeing is your cardio, NYC is the place to be – just by walking around town, you can visit such iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Times Square. Or hop on a ferry to Liberty Island to meet the Statue of Liberty up-close and personal.
NYC’s five boroughs feature more than 1,700 parks, including the gorgeous Central Park, making it one of the best cities for outdoor activities in the country. As for the nightlife, there’s no argument that New York City is the biggest party hub in the U.S.
With three major coach and train stations in Manhattan alone – Port Authority, Grand Central & Penn Station – and three nearby airports, NYC is one of the predominant travel hubs in the world. If you are ever looking to get out of town, NYC is centrally connected throughout the state and region, you can easily hop on a train to Albany to go explore upstate New York.
Cambridge
Cambridge, Massachusetts, is known for its stellar academic institutions (just like its English counterpart), located just across the Charles River from Boston. MIT and Harvard bring thousands of bright young minds to Cambridge, so expect to see lots of bars and restaurants to cater to the student crowd. Harvard University's campus is a draw for locals and visitors alike; walk through the historic Harvard Yard or visit some of the campus museums, the Harvard Art Museums and Harvard Museum of Natural History.
Harvard Square and Central Square are two hubs for shopping, dining, and nightlife. Some local favourites include Lamplighter Brewing Company on Broadway, the Mad Monkfish for sushi, and Shay's Pub & Wine Bar. Sweat off your hangover the next day with a bike ride or walk along the Charles River Esplanade, with excellent views of the Boston skyline.
Cambridge connects to Boston's subway system, the T, on the red line. This makes it easy to reach Boston Logan Airport via public transport.
