New Year, New York

THINK New Year’s Eve, and New York comes to mind. Images of Times Square lit up like a disco ball, of crowds a million-strong cheering as a glittering sphere (covered in 2,688 Waterford crystals) descends into the ‘crossroads of the world’.

Spectacular as it is to experience Times Square on New Year’s Eve, you’ll need to shed an equally spectacular amount of cash to get there.

If you can wait a few days to take a bite of the Big Apple, you’ll not only save on flights, but could bag the year’s cheapest hotel rates.
