Welcome to NYC

Welcome to New York! Most likely, even the airport will already be beautifully decorated!


Upon arrival in NYC, feel free to leave your bags at the hotel, or, if you arrive after 3pm, you can check right into your room.

Our hotel in centrally located with easy access to public transportation, shopping and, of course, restaurants.


Welcome dinner


Let’s get the weekend started with a welcome dinner at one of the city’s most beloved restaurants!

Did you know that Spicy Moon was recently named the #1 Asian restaurant in the country?!

Of course no foodie weekend would be complete without a visit to this amazing restaurant.

After dinner, let´s take a walk along 5th Avenue to see beautiful decorations on stores such as Bergdorf Goodman (their windows are always one of the highlights!), the light show at Saks and more. Of course we will also stop by the famous Rockefeller Christmas Tree!

Day 2 - Saturday

Brunch tour and fancy dinner

 Brunch walking tour


This morning, instead of having breakfast/brunch at one place, we’ll take a breakfast/brunch tour and grab bites from different places - think vegan croissants, bagels, dim sum and the like!

While noshing our way through town, we will also get to see new neighborhoods and take in as much of the city as we can.


After the tour, you are free to explore at your leisure for a bit before meeting up for wine & chocolate tasting class where you will learn who and why the two are such a perfect match.

After that, we are off to a group dinner in Brooklyn - maybe some might want to grab cocktails at a rooftop bar afterwards as well?


Breakfast/brunch, chocolate and wine tasting and dinner included

Day 3 - Sunday

Free day to explore

We will start the day with a wonderful vegan breakfast.


Spend today as you please: whether you want to visit a museum - even here, you are never far from a holiday theme - both the American Museum of Natural History and the MET have fascinating trees - once adorned with hundreds of origami figurines, the other one with an eighteenth-century Neapolitan Nativity scene, surrounded by an abundant array of lifelike figures with silk-robed angels hovering above, go shopping or head up one of the many viewing platforms, there is plenty to do!

This is also your chance to join a Broadway matinee!

Today´s farewell dinner will be on the fancier side at a place such as Hangawi, Planta or Dirt Candy.

 

Breakfast and dinner included

Day 4 - Monday

Holiday markets


Breakfast & more Holiday markets


This morning, after another wonderful breakfast, we will browse the holiday markets and windows such as Bryant Park, Macy´s and Union Square. Monday means fewer crowds and a more enjoyable shopping experience for you!

We will grab lunch from different food vendors across the markets.

Sadly, it is time to wrap up our weekend together but we hope to see you again soon!
