It is one of the most important and largest cities in the world. The city plays an influential role in trade, finance, media, art\/culture, and also the fashion industry. It is a city that is much visited to gain inspiration by architects, for example. \u201cIf you can make it there, you can make it everywhere!\u201d Everything is grand, innovative, and inspiring. The perfect choice for an inspirational trip but also very suitable as an incentive destination. We are taking you digitally to NYC!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>New York, New York<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The melting pot of all the different cultures. That's what makes New York so special to us. Immigrants from all over the world live there, and around 170 different languages are spoken. The five largest ethnic groups are: Puerto Ricans, Italians, Indians, Irish, and Chinese. With 9.5 million inhabitants, New York is the most densely populated city in the United States. New York has many districts: SoHo, NoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown, Meatpacking District, Chelsea, Nolita, Greenwich Village, and Harlem. Each with its own character and history.<\/p>\n<p>The summers can be very hot and the winters, conversely, very cold. When we travelled there in a group in February, it was even 20 degrees below zero! A further advantage, however, is that it is quiet everywhere. In spring and autumn, it is a lot busier with tourists.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15213 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Waanzinnig New York als incentive bestemming!\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/88-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Documents and tickets <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You will need what's called an ESTA to enter America. We at goMICE will take care of all the necessary documents before and during your group trips. Nowadays, JFK airport is almost fully automated, meaning we can get the group through customs within half an hour. Once we've arrived, we will hand out the New York transport passes. These give us priority in queues and ensure you can see as much as possible in one day!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transport in New York<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>New York is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. You can really tell that New York is densely populated when you're on the road: the streets are almost always gridlocked. That's why we at goMICE use the \u2018subway\u2019, and our project managers know the metro lines like the back of their hand by now. A quick and easy way to travel in the centre of New York!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sights in the Big Apple<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The sights of New York are world-famous and often symbolise the United States. There is always something to do for groups, whether it's relaxation, shopping, museums, or team-building workshops. New York offers it!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Highlights <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As a corporate incentive destination, the highlights of New York are an absolute must. Probably the biggest challenge is to, before your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/incentive-reizen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incentive travel<\/a><\/strong> to make a choice between the many options. Consider the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square (especially in the evening), Wall Street, the skyscrapers such as the \u2019Empire State Building\u2018, but also Ground Zero: the 9\/11 memorial. A shopping moment between activities? If there's enough time, department stores Macy\u2019s or Saks 5th Avenue are a good option. <em>Did you know that\u2026<\/em> Is the Prada store in New York designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15211 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-3-1024x523.png\" alt=\"Als zakelijke incentive bestemming mogen de highlights in New York absoluut niet ontbreken.\" width=\"800\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-3-1024x523.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-3-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-3-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-3-18x9.png 18w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-3.png 1171w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Admire the view<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By helicopter:<\/strong> One of our favourite and most special ways to view the city is by helicopter. A spectacular scenic flight lasts about 15 minutes, during which you can admire the city with a breathtaking view!<\/li>\n<li><strong>From a skyscraper:<\/strong> Another option is to admire the view from one of the many skyscrapers. We usually choose between the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Centre or the Freedom Tower. It just depends on what fits well into the schedule at that moment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>From a rooftop bar<\/strong> Enjoying the view with a trendy cocktail or a good glass of wine? That's also possible. We'll then visit a rooftop bar such as the rooftop bar at The Standard Hotel, The W Hotel or The Gansevoort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15210 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-blog-1024x526.png\" alt=\"Bewonder het uitzicht over New York City op verschillende manieren!\" width=\"800\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-blog-1024x526.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-blog-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-blog-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-blog-18x9.png 18w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nyc-blog.png 1206w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Eating together in one of the many restaurants <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>New York is home to countless excellent and trendy restaurants. A small selection of our favourites includes: Sushi Samba and Nobu New York for sushi, Shake Shack for the tastiest organic burgers, Chipotle for authentic Mexican food, and Thank God It's Friday for typical American dining. Many of the aforementioned restaurants are often fully booked a week in advance. We at goMICE therefore ensure that we secure good seats at the selected restaurants. Naturally, we always take your travellers' dining preferences into account.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Enjoy the parks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ultimate enjoyment of New York's atmosphere and people. Fancy lunching like the locals do? We arrange delicious, ready-made meals that can then be enjoyed in one of the many parks. Perfect for a moment of relaxation!

A bike tour can make it happen! Did you know that New York has 2170 kilometres of cycle paths? The routes are specially developed by us, allowing you to see and experience a lot in a relaxed way. The guides live in the city and speak several languages, including Dutch.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Visit one of the many museums together<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For most incentive trips, we include a museum visit in our itinerary, provided it fits with the programme and contributes to the objective of the incentive trip. Some world-renowned museums include: The Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The American Museum of Natural History. It is a perfect, educational and relaxing activity to undertake during your incentive trip.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Recommended hotel partner: 5* Hotel Hilton Conrad New York<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We are fans of this hotel! The Conrad Hilton New York exclusively has suites. Therefore, all rooms are very spacious. The hotel is located in Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan. Quiet, yet central.
