New York City Marathon runners cross the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge<\/div>\n<\/div>New York City is home to one of the largest and most famous marathons in the world: the ING New York City Marathon<\/strong>. It has been held annually since 1970, and crosses all 5 boroughs of the city.<\/p>\n

The race starts in Staten Island near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which takes the runners to Brooklyn. In Brooklyn the runners pass through several neighborhoods, and then continue on to Queens, where the runners take the Queensboro Bridge into Manhattan. The runners continue north to the Bronx, and finally end in Manhattan, where the finish line is located in Central Park. This year, the 42-kilometer (26-miles) race will take place on November 4th, 2012<\/strong>. Almost 50,000 runners will compete, and it is estimated that there\u2019ll be more than 2 million people watching the race in the different boroughs.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re one of the lucky people who acquired a spot in the marathon, or you\u2019re just coming to New York to cheer on the runners, you\u2019ll be looking for a place to stay. Our New York City vacation rentals<\/a> and Bed & Breakfasts<\/a> offer all the amenities you\u2019re used to having at home, as well as the chance to experience the city like a local!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to run the NYC marathon, you\u2019ll need a nice quiet bedroom with a good bed to be well rested before you start the race. Furthermore, you\u2019ll want to have access to a fully-equipped kitchen where you can prepare the healthy meals you need to retain your strength! Our rentals offer all this and more, such as your own laundry facilities and internet access to look up last-minute details or tips about the race. If you\u2019re coming with friends and family to cheer on the runners, a vacation rental can also be a real money saver since you\u2019re paying for the apartment, not for the number of people staying in it!<\/p>\n

To give you an idea of the apartments that are a perfect fit for the New York City Marathon, we\u2019ve selected three apartments with top locations in the neighborhoods the marathon passes through!<\/p>\n
