A visit to New York City holds so many possibilities: from the hip neighborhoods and boutique shopping to the famous sights (we're looking at you, Empire State Building), and top-rated museum culture — the city has something for everyone.
Spend a day sampling coffee in Williamsburg or try your hand at one of the city's darkly-lit speakeasies, go vintage shopping in one of the city's newest areas, Hudson Yards, and then take a walk along the High Line for a hint of industrial greenery. Whatever spots in New York City you want to explore, there's an Airbnb for you. With these listings, you can be steps away from some of the city's best restaurants and public parks as well as take in the most iconic city views.
These are the most wishlisted Airbnbs for visitors coming to the Big Apple:
