The city that needs no introduction
Destinations › USA › New York City
Big, loud and endlessly rewarding — New York packs more into a weekend than most cities do in a week. For GTA travellers it's a train ride or a short flight away.
The VIA/Amtrak Maple Leaf runs once daily from Toronto Union through Niagara to New York Penn Station — two countries, no airport security. Or fly from Pearson (or cheaper from Buffalo).
The subway runs 24/7 and is the fastest way around; tap an OMNY reader or MetroCard. Manhattan's grid is made for walking.

An elevated park built on old rail tracks.
Walk it toward Manhattan for the classic skyline.
Loud, bright and, once, unmissable.
Spring and autumn are ideal. December is magical but busy and cold; August is hot and humid.
Compare the ways to get there, then build a day-by-day plan.
