A trip to the Big Apple is going to provide you with nonstop fun as well as a constant supply of new things to do. The city does have its own public transportation, but it is often overcrowded, so getting a rental car will make you more comfortable. Picking up a rental at the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) makes sense so you can start your vacation straight away. For a little nostalgia, you can make your first stop Coney Island, where you can stretch your legs after the flight.

Key Facts

In its heyday, Coney Island was the premiere waterfront area for people in the city. Here, you can stroll along the beach or ride some of the thrill rides on the boardwalk. Of course, your trip to Coney Island wouldn't be complete without a Coney Island hot dog. If a hot dog isn't what you want, you can visit Little Italy for a slice of pizza or Chinatown for an authentic Chinese meal at the highly rated Nobu New York.

Hints and Tips

When you board the plane at the Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay, Jamaica, bound for New York City, you can expect the flight to take a little less than four hours. Once at the airport in the Big Apple, you'll be in one of the busiest airports in the United States with a variety of airlines and connecting flights.
