Holiday lovers could do worse than follow tennis player Andy Murray's example by having a great time in New York.
The Scottish-born player has just reached his first ever Grand Slam final at the US Open, which is staged in Flushing Meadows in New York.
For Murray it is his favourite tournament - he even prefers it to his so-called 'home tournament', Wimbledon, which is staged in England.
In between beating the world's best tennis players, the British Davis Cup player has been exploring the sights, sounds and smells of the Big Apple on his own.
But he has revealed that he is having to get used to more members of the public shouting out "Hey, look it's Andy Murray!" as he wanders the streets of the city which never sleeps.
New York isn't just associated with tennis because it stages one of the sport's biggest tournaments, it is also the birthplace of one of the best players to have ever wielded a tennis racket.
John McEnroe has never forgotten his New York roots and his brash, witty, unpredictable personality is a reflection of the city he grew up in.
