Going to NYC! Hey everyone! Well it's been a dream of my best friends and mine to go to NYC, and we've pretty much been planning to go since 8 years ago, when we were in high school! Last fall I finally thought hey, we're adults now, we're both finished college and have stable lives, why not make a dream come true??? Two other friends are going as well and we've already booked our flight and hotel for November 25 (best friend's birthday!) to December 2. We're huge Christmas freaks so we thought that time would be perfect! What I'm looking for is some fun things to do there! We have tickets to the Christmas Spectacular but that's the only thing so far that's really planned. Some things we want to do are: Sex and the City tour Holiday lights tour Christmas tree lit up at Rockefeller Center Macy's Thanksgiving parade Carriage ride in Central Park Broadway show Eat at Bobby Flay's restaurant (mesa grill) Rainbow Room (one friend is really into this, but I checked out the prices and WOW it's expensive!) Try going somewhere on the subway :D SHOPPING! Any other suggestions about what to do in NYC? The 4 of us are 24 and pretty much up for anything! We want to go to some clubs or lounges as well, and I'm sure there are some that are good and some to stay away from. Any tips or suggestions? We want to see and do as much as possible in 7 days! |
The holidays in NY are magical..busy as heck but magical. Be sure to bring some warm clothes. Ooh with all that you want to do some very comfy shoes are in order. I guess since your doing the site seeing thing you need to hit the Empire State building, the village, Clubs I am not sure as I don't know what sort of music your into. My younger sister has been enjoying Webster Hall because they have several floors with all different music. |
there is a zoo in central park that is pretty good. I love NYC. Well I did. I got engaged there and used to go many times a year. Since my ex fiance and I broke up almost 3 years ago I have not been back. That was the best trip we ever had. You could try to get tix to Saturday night live taping or any other show tapings happening. TLC on MTV is there also. Shopping on 5th avenue is awesome! (EXPENSIVE!!) go over to Ground Zero where the towers fell. I always went there to pay my respects. Try to go to Battery Park to take pics of the Statue of Liberty! Oh yeah and go to the top of the empire state building! Just have fun! Experience everything! |

You could see a show; Wicked and the Lion King are my two favorites. Go for dessert at Junior's. If you like Disney, visit the World of Disney store. Ice skating in Central Park is so much fun. :) |

Oh I forgot to mention, we have sent postcards for tickets to Regis and Kelly and Conan O'Brien but haven't heard anything back from either yet. The girl who was doing that was going to see if there was a number to call today about it. As for warm clothing, we're all from the Canadian prairies :) A new york winter is going to be like a tropical vacation for us! hehe I am reading Wicked right now and my best friend has read it and loved it, so we are both really wanting to see that one! We're going to take suggestions from the other two girls too though, and maybe we could even fit in 2 :) I just looked at the website for Webster Hall and it looks awesome! I will definitely be telling the other girls about it! |
omg, how exciting! It sounds like you did your homework! Have great fun...bring $$$$$$ LOL! |
Wicked is fantastic on Broadway! I would highly recommend it!! Saint Patrick's Cathedral is another site to see, it is right on 5th Ave, so you could also do shopping...I think the American Girl doll shop is on 5th near the Cathedral! |

Sounds like fun! I would recommend the Empire State building its pretty cool. We did the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island while we were there, but that may not be as interesting to you since you're from Canada. 5th Avenue is pretty cool. I LOVED FAO Schwartz- I was 13 at the time we went and not really into toys anymore, but it was still really cool to look around in. I would love to visit NYC during Christmas time! |
You can stand in line to see "The View" , Regis and Kelly" or other shows...Go on line to check exactly where they are , get in line by 7am (or earlier) but you do wait outside...You can pay (not much) to get into (can't remember what network) and get a tour of the TV sets (it's on the side of Radio City Music Hall) Check out the Museum of Natural Art near Central Park...Carriage ride? Those poor horses have to walk on NY streets...It should be banned...Make sure you have an itinerary, you don't want to wake up saying " what do you want to do today?'' Have fun !;) |
I highly recommend that you see Wicked on Broadway! I've seen it 8 times - it's my absolute favorite! Have a wonderful time! |
all I have to say is .... BRAT:p lol I want to go!!! :) HAVE a BLAST!!! |
Congratulations! It sounds like you are going to have a blast in NYC. The only problem I see is the wait. When does the official count-down begin? |
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:38 PM. |
