Djgb13 2,338 Posted October 31, 2021 Wife and I are heading to NYC for 4 days to celebrate me being done with first few semesters of school. Plus, we’ve been dying to go during Christmas time (not during Christmas itself). Going to be be trying to stay in Manhattan and near a train station if possible since that’s what some of our friends were suggesting. Planning on grabbing tickets to see the Rockettes but other than that we aren’t sure if what we want to do. Any suggestions on things to do, places to go, restaurants to try, bars to go to, etc? Thanks in advance fellas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Rockettes are just something I want to check off my bucket list. One of these “one and done” things. I’m excited to go to China town and get some good Chinese/dim sum for a meal while we are there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Isles 583 Posted October 31, 2021 Some of the restaurants in Queens on the East River offer dinner cruises that end up in the Hudson and like HT said - right up to the Statue of Liberty. I’d rather see it from a boat then climb it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
