Although the Delta variant's impact on the economy is drawing most of the headlines, it's worth noting the good news for New York that's out there as well. The city will not be competing with European destinations in light of new international restrictions. On the domestic front, the number one fall destination for Airbnb searchers? That would be New York City. NYC will be ready to greet these visitors—many coming for longer stretches than usual—as reopening news continues to post.

This week's breaking news is the Governor's announcement that when New York reaches 70% adult vaccination most COVID restrictions will be lifted. In as little as two weeks we could be done with capacity restrictions, social distancing, cleaning requirements, health screenings, and contact tracing. The city is changing so quickly already but this will accelerate it.

For the sports fans out there, NYC is also home to some world-class venues where elite players in multiple leagues have and continue to sell out huge stadiums and arenas. If you’re headed to the Big Apple anytime soon and you love professional athletics, be sure to check out these four famous locations.

New York City is the place to be on America’s East Coast and offers something for everyone, but if you happen to be a lover of sports then it is highly recommended that you book into a hotel, get out your travel guide, and take in some of the most famous franchises in American sporting history.
