January sales shopping starts here: plenty of room for all the bags at the three-star Roosevelt Family Rooms Hotel, four blocks from the Rockefeller Centre in New York, which recently reopened its rooftop observation deck. Octopus Travel is offering accommodation from £44pp room only, but the offer is only valid until Thursday, so you'll have to get on the net sharpish for a flight (try New Year's Day - everyone's too ill to move).
