Ireland's No.1 City Break: 'There's always something on, always something new'
Winner: New York
"The buzz keeps you going."
Your phrase perfectly sums up New York's electric energy, and the electric energy required to navigate the place.
"It has everything," you said of a metropolis that takes pride of place among your top city breaks for the second year running.
"There's always something on... always something new," you added. "Great sights and food, and easy access to the rest of USA too."
Of course, it's not just Manhattan. You also name-checked Brooklyn, Harlem, Queens and Liberty Island on your travels. You raved about foodie fixes like "getting to order eggs over-easy", or "eating a genuine New York chilli dog". You walked, Subwayed and Yellow Cabbed yourself silly.

And this year, with a new Statue of Liberty Museum, WorldPride (the world's biggest ever celebration of Pride) and the opening of the riverside Hudson Yards with its new observation deck, you've got even more excuses to visit.
"It is an overwhelmingly rollercoaster city," as one reader put it. It's got "everything America has to offer in one place" said another. "There's just so much to see, so many places to go, venues and shows to get to, it's impossible to run out of things to do!"
