Christmas in New York City
2020 Dates: Dec 4-7...Dec 6-9...Dec 11-14...Dec 13-16
1st Day: Upon arriving in New York, we meet our tour escort and transfer to our hotel where we have accommodations for the next 3 evenings. After checking in and freshening up a bit, we are treated to delicious welcome dinner. We then take a mini-tour of New York at night; seeing the city’s buildings aglow with their bright lights truly gives us a sense of the boundless energy for which New York is known. (D)
2nd Day: We take a tour of New York in which we get an insider’s view of the city. During our tour of “uptown” Manhattan we see, among other things, Broadway, Times Square, the Empire State Building, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Grand Central Station, Central Park and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as the bastion of townhouses, mansions and apartment buildings on the Upper West Side. You will enjoy the festive holiday atmosphere of this exciting city, from the delightful Christmas displays in the windows of the fabulous stores of Fifth Avenue and the world famous Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center to the ever-present street vendors and entertainers. Ah, I can already smell those roasted chestnuts! We’ll also get to see some of the New York sites made famous in television and motion pictures – “Seinfeld’s” diner and the Little Shop Around the Corner from the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan classic “You’ve Got Mail.” Our evening is free to enjoy the delights of the “City That Never Sleeps” (we can make arrangements for an evening performance of your favorite Broadway Show). (B)
3rd Day: Today’s tour focuses on the sites of Lower Manhattan as we drive through the city’s many “neighborhoods.” We’ll visit Chelsea, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, Chinatown, the Financial District and Wall Street. We’ll see the Lower East Side and Little Italy, where so many of America’s immigrants settled in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We will also visit the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero and get to see St. Paul’s Chapel at Trinity Church, which miraculously survived the collapse of the Twin Towers. Today’s excitement continues as we return to Radio City Music Hall to enjoy a performance of the spectacular Christmas Show, featuring the world famous Rockettes. You’ll see classic numbers like the incredible Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and be thrilled as cutting edge technology transforms the interior of Radio City into a magical holiday holiday canvas that you have to see to believe. (B,D)
4th Day: Transfer to the airport for your flight home (depending on the time of your flight, we may be able to arrange some additional sightseeing). (B)
