Many New Yorkers consider Central Park to be the heart of the city. The eastern side of Central Park (on Fifth Avenue, only two blocks west of the hotel) is in hotel's backyard. Residents and visitors always enjoy this natural setting that offers a respite from the city's energy and excitement. For children, the park's offerings approach those of a virtual theme park.
Some of the park's most popular family-friendly attractions include the Central Park Zoo, the Tisch Children's Zoo, the historic carousel (built in 1871), and the Hecksher playground with slides and water features (in season).
Children can climb rocks and sculptures, run freely across the Great Lawn, or discover paths that lead to unique adventures. The 843-acre urban oasis boasts a total of 21 actual playgrounds. Kids of all ages always enjoy tasting a New York hot dog from a park vendor or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride. An Ideal Base To Explore The City

Skipping the U.S. and taking a vacation to East Coast this year? It will cost you.
FREDERICTON — In September 2024, Natasha Beitman Brener and her husband decided to take a three-week vacation to Canada's East Coast. Beitman Brener, a lawyer in Kingston, Ont., spent about six months planning the trip, looking at various options to stay in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. "We are young, we don't have all the money in the world, we have a mortgage. So we went on this trip and we thought, 'oh, this will be affordable compared to something like Japan' . … We were going to cook our own food," she said in a recent interview. They rented a recreational vehicle in Montreal for about $6,000, and between campground parking fees, gasoline, groceries, park passes, a round of golf, and a couple of dinners out, Beitman Brener said the total added up to $15,000. "It was the most incredible trip. We loved it. It was worth it. It was incredible. The East Coast is so extraordinary," she said. "But it was $15,000 and we talked to our friend — they went to Japan for three weeks for the same price, with flights. And I said to my husband, 'well, we could have gone to Japan for the same price.'" This year, as a trade war grinds on with the United States, Canadians who decide to vacation within their country are realizing their patriotism comes with a hefty price tag — and some are choosing to scale back their plans. For Alick Tsui, a St. John's, N.L., resident, a recent five-day, two-person trip to Port Rexton, N.L., cost him about $3,000. He is avoiding spending his dollars in the United States because of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war and comments of annexing Canada. But high prices are forcing him to cut costs for future trips in Canada. "Before I would stay for four nights, now I may cut it down to three nights. But that won't change my plan to travel." Tsui said he and his wife try to save money with "economical" lunches from gas stations. "But nighttime, we try to find whatever we can to have a good meal. Not expensive, but a good meal," he said. The couple went to Vietnam and Thailand earlier this year for about 10 days; that trip cost about one-third the price that he usually pays for a week's vacation in Canada. Beitman Brener, meanwhile, says she wanted to take a mother-daughter vacation this month after the lawyer had some unexpected time off. The duo sought to travel within Canada on a budget of $3,000 for four nights and five days. They too are avoiding travelling to the United States. She looked into several locations, including Quebec City and Manitoulin Island in Ontario, but — even with sharing a hotel or Airbnb room — their accommodation costs would have been about $3,000. Along with food and gas, the total would have been about $6,000, she said. They couldn't justify the cost so they chose to spend two nights at a boutique hotel in their hometown. The fact each vacation has to be planned down to every meal because of high costs has removed some of the joy of taking a spontaneous holiday in Canada, she said. A scan of individual round trip flights from Toronto to cities on the East Coast for the week of Aug. 18 -23 showed prices to Halifax ranging from around $700 for Flair Airlines to nearly $1,700 for WestJet; about $1,200 via Air Canada to $2,500 via Air Transat to St. John's; and between $1,500 and $3,000 on Air Canada to Charlottetown. A vehicle rental for five days the week of Aug. 18 -23 in Halifax, St. John's, and Charlottetown ranged from an average of $1,500 for an SUV to $1,000 for a sedan. For the week, hotel rooms in Halifax, St. John's and Prince Edward Island ranged from around $200 a night to $500. Richard Powers, associate professor at University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, said two main reasons can help explain why travel within Canada is so expensive — lack of competition among airline services and fallout from COVID-19. Airlines haven't reinstated some of routes they cut down at the height of the pandemic, he said. How long the fallout from COVID-19 will last is anybody's guess, Powers said. "That's the million-dollar question." When it comes to accommodation, he said the high prices can be blamed on minimal supply. "I'm just booking Vancouver for the fall, and I'm having trouble finding a place for under $500 a night," he said. "That's a lot." Restaurant bills in Canada add up — when compared with those in Europe — because of the tipping culture that adds 15 to 20 per cent for each meal, he said. With the push to support Canadian tourism, Powers said, people are willing to pay "a bit of a premium." "How much premium is the question? And it's almost getting out of control."

Phone Theft Is More Common Than You Think While Traveling—but This Foolproof Hack Will Keep Your Device Safe
I've had some unforgettable travel moments, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, paragliding over the Swiss Alps, and riding ATVs through Mallorca, but nothing stuck with me like getting my phone stolen in Barcelona. Twice. The first time, it vanished from my bag. The second time I was mid-scroll when a passing cyclist swooped in and snatched it out of my hand. Three years later, I'm still on a mission to make sure it never happens again. 46 percent of travelers have had valuables lost or stolen abroad, and 35 percent have had a tech device stolen, according to a study from All About Cookies (an informational website that provides tips about digital security). Now, whenever someone tells me they're going abroad, I give them this important piece of advice: Keep your phone physically connected to you. It might sound over-the-top, but according to a Global Rescue Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey, one in five international travelers have lost their phone or had it stolen while abroad. So whether it's with a crossbody bag or a lanyard, your phone needs to stay secure. If I'd had either one in Barcelona, I could've saved myself thousands in replacement phones—and a lot of dramatic calls to Verizon. To help you avoid becoming a statistic, I found the best ant-theft crossbody bags and phone lanyards on Amazon—all starting at just $9. The warm brown shade and gold hardware on this bag will instantly elevate your travel outfit, and the crossbody design keeps your phone and essentials right in front of you, so you never have to sacrifice security for style. There's also a built-in ring that clips through the zipper pulls for an added anti-theft measure, and despite its compact frame, it fits far more than just your phone—think passport, power bank, AirPods, and more. Designed for days on the go, this waterproof, breathable sling bag ensures your belongings stay safe, dry, and in sight, whether you're exploring, hiking, or cycling through a new city. Its front-facing design deters pickpockets, while the water-resistant fabric protects your phone from surprise downpours or sweaty adventure days—because no one wants their phone ruined halfway through a trip. When you want to travel light but keep your phone secure and easy to grab, this compact crossbody delivers—with the bonus of RFID-blocking protection to guard your cards against digital theft. Available in 30 different designs, it's as stylish as it is functional. One traveler raved, 'No more digging into the bottom of my purse or backpack when I want to take a photo,' while others call it their go-to bag for sightseeing. This RFID-protected crossbody blends anti-theft features with fashion—the puffer-inspired design feels on-trend while keeping your belongings in front of you at all times. Two front zip pockets and a hidden back pocket keep valuables organized and out of reach from pickpockets. Plus, the adjustable strap lets you switch between wearing it as a crossbody, shoulder bag, or handbag, making it a smart, versatile choice for any trip. For hands-free peace of mind, this under-$10 sturdy phone lanyard keeps your device around your neck (or wrist) so you can snap photos without worrying about theft or accidental drops. Travelers have spotted these everywhere in Europe, with shoppers raving about the lanyard's convenience for boat excursions. One reviewer shared that they no longer fear dropping their phone in the ocean while taking pictures. This stylish lanyard strap lets you carry your phone around your neck, across your body, or from your wrist, all while keeping it secure and pickpocket-proof. The sleek design pairs well with travel outfits and can also hold an ID badge, keys, or even an ear buds case, making it a must for your packing list. Equal parts style and function, this rope strap turns your phone into an elevated accessory while keeping it safe from grab-and-go theft. The nylon strap is adjustable for comfort, and it's chic enough to blend into dinner outfits without looking like a tourist gadget. With a hypoallergenic faux leather strap, this universal lanyard is made for travelers who want both comfort and security. Its anti-drop and anti-snatch design keeps your phone close in crowded areas like markets or train stations—without compromising on style. It comes in several colors, including a few black options for anyone who wants to be super inconspicuous. This upscale leather crossbody will add a vibrant pop of color to your travel wardrobe while offering stealthy anti-theft features. Despite its compact size, it has three flexible main pockets, 12 card slots, and a zip compartment. The all-in-one design means you can keep your valuables secure without carrying a larger bag, and travelers praise it for both style and the peace of mind it offers. Perfect for beach days or boat trips, this waterproof lanyard lets you keep your phone with you while swimming or snorkeling—no need to leave it unattended. You can still text, scroll, and take underwater photos while you splash around. One reviewer noted that they got 'amazing videos of sea life' during snorkeling, plus peace of mind on fishing trips.

Airfares are surging again after a months-long slump as carriers trim flights to ease a capacity glut
The latest consumer price index report showed airfares jumped 4% in July from the prior month, reversing a slump that began early this year. That's as airlines are reducing the number of flights, easing a capacity glut, while demand has rebounded after President Donald Trump's trade war slowed travel during the spring. Supply and demand are coming back into balance in the airline industry, meaning airfares are shooting higher again after an extended downtrend. The latest consumer price index report showed airfares jumped 4% in July from June, marking the first monthly increase since January. For much of the peak travel season, consumers enjoyed lower prices. Airfares ticked down 0.1% in June and fell 2.7% in May from the prior month. But those days look to be over for now. Airlines are trimming flights more aggressively than usual as the summer winds down. Domestic capacity among U.S. airlines has dropped 6% in August versus July, according to data from Cirium cited by CNBC. That's bigger than the cut of just over 4% during the same period a year ago as well as the 0.6% cut in 2023. And in the pre-COVID summer of 2019, capacity fell by 1.7% between July and August. The strike at Air Canada could throw another wrench into capacity as the carrier suspends operations. Canada's top airline operates around 700 flights per day. Earlier this summer, airlines found themselves with too much capacity as their expectations at the start of the year for another travel boom slammed into President Donald Trump's trade war in the spring. After he unveiled much steeper-than-expected tariffs in April, demand for flights slowed as consumers turned cautious about the economy and their finances. To avoid flying empty planes, airlines slashed prices. But Trump pulled back from his highest levies and signed several trade deals. With some uncertainty easing, airlines have reported that demand is rebounding. In fact, security screenings at airports in July and so far in August are up from a year ago. 'The world is less uncertain today than it was during the first six months of 2025 and that gives us confidence about a strong finish to the year,' United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said last month.
