Guests will arrive in New York City by mid-afternoon and travel to the Sheraton Times Square via group shuttle, with pickups at LaGuardia Airport scheduled for approximately 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM. Upon arrival, everyone will check in, settle into their rooms, and begin getting to know their travel sisters.

That evening, the group will stroll together to Carmine’s Times Square for a hearty, family-style Italian welcome dinner — filled with laughter, warm conversation, and festive holiday flavors.

This first night will offer a gentle introduction to the city and one another, setting the tone for a joyful and connection-filled week ahead.

The first full day in New York City will begin with breakfast at the hotel before the group heads downtown to Battery Park. From there, guests will board the 9:00 AM ferry for a meaningful visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, including pedestal access and time to explore the exhibits at both historic sites.

After returning to Manhattan, guests will enjoy lunch on their own from nearby street vendors (budgeting $15–20), followed by a quiet visit to the 9/11 Memorial reflecting pools. Museum entry will be optional.

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 morning begins with a walk to Radio City Music Hall for the 10:00 AM Rockettes Christmas Spectacular, followed by a behind-the-scenes tour of this legendary venue (both included).

From there, the group will walk to Café Un Deux Trois for a charming midday meal, then visit the peaceful beauty of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, with time to light a candle or take photos.

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.

The group will then head back toward Midtown for a classic New York lunch at Café Luxembourg. The afternoon will be open for personal exploration, with optional visits to the American Museum of Natural History (included), a peaceful stroll through Central Park, or simple rest time at the hotel.

In the evening, the group will gather for dinner at Loi Estiatorio, a refined Greek restaurant known for heartfelt service and memorable flavors. The day will end on a high note at Dizzy’s Club, where guests will enjoy live jazz and skyline views — a rhythm-filled close to a meaningful day.

After breakfast, Day 5 begins with the group traveling by subway to Brooklyn Promenade and DUMBO, where guests will enjoy sweeping skyline views, cobblestone streets, and photo-worthy moments at every turn. Lunch will be served at Seamore’s, a laid-back seafood spot known for fresh flavors and coastal comfort.

Guests may choose to walk across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge before returning to Manhattan for an afternoon of discovery at Chelsea Market and a scenic stroll along the High Line.

That evening, the group will dine at Joe Allen Restaurant, a legendary Broadway bistro beloved by performers and theater fans alike. The night will conclude with the group’s second Broadway show — a grand finale to this theater-filled NYC journey.

After the show, guests will return to the hotel to reflect on a week filled with joy, connection, and unforgettable memories.

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).

The rest of the day will be open for guests to explore New York City at their own pace — whether solo, in pairs, or as part of a small optional outing. Christine will check in the night before to help coordinate plans based on group interests and comfort levels.

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.
