Okay ladies and gents, I’m really begging for your help on this one. My Beloved Husband and I are planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York City this December. I know there’s enough stuff to do and see in NYC to fill about 4 years, but we can only be there about 4 days, so we really need to narrow it down to the must-see’s. If you have been there/live there/love there, I really need you to tell me what we absolutely must not miss. Any money saving tips? Insider hints? I wanna know about them. I think we wanna stay on Times Square, but haven’t picked a hotel yet. Had any horror stories? Let me know. Any cool spots to stay? Spill it.

So far, here’s some things that have been suggested to us. Let me know if we’re on the right track. Any here that you really didn’t like and we should skip? Please put in your two cents…
1. We’re going to see Phantom of the Opera at The Majestic Theatre. This is a main priority and one of the things on my bucket list. If for some reason Phantom shuts down before we get there, and we still go, I’ve heard Wicked is good. Any other shows that were amazing? Have you been to the Majestic? Which are the best seats in the house?

2. We’ve been told to get on the Double Decker bus tours to see a bunch of the sites.

3. SoHo ( I don’t know what that is, but have been told to go), Chinatown, Little Italy, Central Park, Empire State Building.
4. Since we’re going to be there around Christmas, I want to do all that stuff…see the big Christmas tree, go to that ice skating rink in all those movies (Is it the one at Rockefeller Center?), and see the decorated windows (I don’t know where they are, but I’ve heard about them)

5. We wanna see the Statue of Liberty. Is it worth going up into it?
6. My Beloved wants to see Ground Zero.
7. I want to see all the famous New York stores, like FAO Schwartz, ummmm…the other ones…
8. I was told I had to eat at Tavern on the Green. What other restaurants? How far ahead do I have to make reservations?

Can we do all that in 4 days? Am I missing anything? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know.
I’ve taken these pictures from different places on the web. If you click on the picture, it will take you to the source where I got them. Hopefully after December, I’ll have all these pictures of my own.
