Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Can anyone recommend somewhere with a superb Christmas market? Was possibly looking at Berlin but open to any suggestions.
Another vote for Strasbourg. Also done Brussels, Brugge and Copenhagen.
I think our best trip was a twin centre Munich / Salzburg one year. Those Bavarians know how to do Christmas markets. It did help that the snow come down that weekend.

Need some help from you lovely lot.
Would like to take the Mrs away for a few nights in December...somewhere in Europe.

I've been to a few in Austria and Germany and I'd say Cologne is the biggest and best.
You can hop on the train to Aachen as well which has got an impressive cathedral as well as being a lovely town.

There'll be much nicer, much posher hotels, but we love the New Yorker, great location, good value, proper old school architecture, they have nice restaurant/bar on site too, as well as cracking Diner.
Request a city view room, and you can see the Empire State Building from your window.

We stayed at the Crown Plaza Times Sq, was an amazing room, the bed was probably the best I've ever slept in.

We stayed in the Roosevelt hotel. Great location as grand central station is just a short walk
Got the pass and took the subway around for half and walked the rest
