New York City is home to dozens of diverse neighborhoods that have distinct ambiances and notable points of interests. Visitors planning their NYC itinerary may be pleasantly surprised and slightly overwhelmed by the number of neighborhood choices. However, the process of deciding on the most suitable place to stay in can be simplified when visitors take into account their own particular lifestyle and interests. Some popular neighborhoods to stay at are SoHo, Chinatown, and Hell’s Kitchen. Situated in Lower Manhattan, SoHo is a trendy area known for having a lively artistic vibe. Accordingly, Chinatown is also located in Lower Manhattan and has a reputation for tasty budget eateries and superb open-air markets stocked with fresh produce. On the West Side of Midtown Manhattan is Hell’s Kitchen, a historic and affluent neighborhood replete with skyscrapers and a range of ethnic restaurants.

SoHo is renowned for its numerous artists’ lofts as well as picturesque structures that are officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood has an extensive collection of buildings constructed in a cast-iron architectural style. Nestled in the northern area of SoHo along Spring Street and Broadway, there are vintage boutiques, chain outlets, and sidewalk vendors selling souvenirs and art. Cultural attractions include museums like the New York City Fire Museum, Children’s Museum of the Arts, and Lower East Side Tenement Museum. SoHo features an energetic nightlife with hip nocturnal hangouts like The Handy Liquor Bar, Broome Street Bar, and Pegu Club.

Chinatown is one of the few NYC neighborhoods that boasts inexpensive yet delicious eats. For unforgettable dim sum and noodle dishes, Nom Wah Tea Parlor is the go-to restaurant. Another distinguished eatery is 456 Shanghai Cuisine which specializes in soup dumplings and savory buns. Additionally, there is more to Chinatown than just Chinese cuisine—Bánh Mì Saigon Bakery arguably has the city’s tastiest Vietnamese sandwiches; Pulqueria is a Mexican bar with irresistible tacos; and Pies ‘n’ Thighs is a favorite spot for hearty American comfort food. The neighborhood is also home to Kamwo Herbal Pharmacy, a massive apothecary that carries a vast selection of intriguing medicinal herbs, fine teas, and spices. Chinatown’s primary public gathering space is Columbus Park where locals enjoy participating in recreational sports, playing card and board games, and observing unique street performances.

In proximity to Broadway theaters and the Theatre District, Hell’s Kitchen is a prime spot to stay at for easy access to high-quality entertainment. Within walking distance are gorgeous theatres such as the Gershwin Theatre and Minskoff Theatre which put on well-known Broadway productions. Hell’s Kitchen also houses an abundance of scrumptious eateries featuring cuisines from all over the world. For fantastic Italian food and homemade pasta, Ristorante Il Melograno is a solid choice. Other terrific restaurants include Totto Ramen, Churrascaria Plataforma, and Pure Thai Cookhouse. Visitors at Hell’s Kitchen can pay respect to victims of September 11 at one of the many memorials placed in and around the area.

It may not feel like it, but you are actually quite close to the beach in New York City. Take a break from urban life and head to the beach and nightlife in Atlantic City, Montauk in the Hamptons, or Penn Yan near the Finger Lakes if you're in need of some peace and quiet by a lake. It takes close to five hours to get to the Finger Lakes, so you may want to consider renting a vacation rental on the water and staying for the weekend.
