Day 1 – Home to New York City, NY
Today we will meet up as a group and fly from MSP to Newark. Once we arrive, we will check in to the Sheraton Times Square in the heart of Times Square where we can walk to many restaurants and easily enjoy the holiday season in NYC throughout our tour. Tonight we’ll thoroughly enjoy dinner together at Angelo’s Pizza! This evening is at your leisure, although you may wish to join your tour director at some of the attractions outside of Rockefeller Center, where you can watch the ice skaters, take in all the Christmas decorations like the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, and view the fancy Christmas window displays of Saks and Macy’s.
Included Meals: Dinner
Hotel: Sheraton Times Square (4 Nights)
Day 2 – New York City
We will start exploring NYC by land today. An expert local guide joins us as we head first to Downtown – we’ll explore where ’it all began’ as we drive through historic Lower Manhattan, including Wall Street and the Financial District. Of course, along the way, we’ll pass through such fascinating neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village, Chinatown, and Manhattan’s Little Italy. After a full day with our guide Mike, we will have learned so much about several American Christmas traditions and the history of Santa Claus in NYC! We will return to our hotel in time to rest & get freshened up before a fun-filled evening. You will want to catch an early dinner on your own before we make our way to a grand Broadway Show!
Day 3 – New York City
This morning we will enjoy some free time to explore on our own before we meet up with our step on guide once again! First we will travel to Uptown and ‘Da Bronx’! We’ll drive through world-famous Harlem, past the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Columbia University, and of course, the Apollo Theater. Then we head to ‘the Real Little Italy in NY’ – Arthur Avenue. Early this afternoon will be a journey we’ll long remember as we ferry out to the Statue of Liberty, which symbolizes American freedom to all! Enjoy a walk around Liberty Island. Next we’ll experience 360 ̊ views of Central Park, Manhattan’s midtown, and downtown skyscrapers from Top of the Rock’s observation decks, set 70 floors above Rockefeller Center! A delightful dinner is served next at Rosie O’Grady’s. Then get ready for Christmas on steroids as we visit Brooklyn’s magical Dyker Heights neighborhood for a remarkable walking tour! The homeowners have taken holiday decorating to a whole new level, astounding us as we walk along the sidewalks and view their amazing, light-filled displays on these most celebrated homes!
Included Meals: Dinner
Day 4 – New York City
Breakfast is served at the hotel before we will meet our guide for a fun day of touring “must sees.” We’ll see and experience places like taking an unforgettable stroll through the amazing Central Park, continuing on to Midtown and a visit to Grand Central Terminal. A memorable visit to the 9/11 Memorial Site & Museum is planned as well as time at the festive Christmas Markets. Mike has so much in store for us today as we explore together! Then we say goodbye to our new friend, Mike, and return to the hotel to get freshened up for dinner on your own. Lastly, we will take a short walk to Radio City Music Hall where we will take in a special Christmas tradition, the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. This 90-minute musical holiday stage show features more than 140 performers and an original musical score, and combines singing, dancing, and humor with traditional scenes. This is a great way to end our wonderful visit to the Big Apple at Christmastime!
Day 5 – New York City to Home
As we enjoy breakfast at the hotel, we will reflect on ALL that we have taken in and learned about NYC! Truly a spectacular Christmas journey to reminisce about with our new travel friends!
