The afternoon will continue with a colorful cultural stroll through Chinatown and Little Italy, where bubble tea, fresh cannoli, and espresso will be included — along with time for photos and a bit of browsing. After a brief rest and change back at the hotel, the group will gather for a fresh, local dinner at Westville Hell’s Kitchen.

The evening will conclude with the group’s first Broadway show, offering a magical theatrical experience to close out the day.

The afternoon will include a visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where guests can explore world-class exhibits and holiday highlights at their own pace. Dinner will follow at Sarabeth’s Upper East Side, a cozy favorite known for its warm hospitality.

To end the evening, guests will enjoy a festive walk through Midtown to admire Fifth Avenue’s holiday windows and the twinkling lights of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree before returning to the hotel for a well-earned rest.

Day 4 will begin with the group taking the subway uptown for morning pastries and warm conversation at the Hungarian Pastry Shop, a beloved local café. From there, guests will walk to the awe-inspiring Cathedral of St. John the Divine for a private group tour and quiet time in the garden.

Day 6 will begin with breakfast at the hotel followed by a visit to the vibrant and immersive Museum of Broadway, where guests will explore an interactive journey through theater history (entry included).

Suggested adventures will include The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), a stroll through the Bryant Park Holiday Village, a visit to Grand Central Terminal, or afternoon tea at The Plaza. Guests may also choose to wander Central Park and enjoy quiet corners like Bow Bridge or Strawberry Fields.

Lunch will be on your own, with flexibility to dine alone or with fellow guests. That evening, the group will gather one last time for a farewell dinner at Her Name is Han, a warm and soulful Korean kitchen that captures the heart of the city. Guests will return to the hotel for a final night of reflection and rest — hearts full and feet (probably) tired.

On the final morning, guests will enjoy one last breakfast at the hotel before preparing for departure. Room check-out will be required by 11:00 AM, and group shuttles to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) will run as needed between approximately 5:00 AM and 11:30 AM, based on individual flight schedules.

The group trip will officially conclude by 1:00 PM, with Christine available through that time to assist with final shuttle coordination and farewells.

This final day will offer a gentle close to a magical week — filled with hugs, full hearts, and one last glimpse of the city that never sleeps… until next time.
