THINGS TO SEE AND DO
NYC is laid-out like a grid, so it’s easy to get around by foot, subway or bus.

Do Not Say “I Don’t Do Windows”
One of the special wonders of visiting New York during the holidays is strolling past the incredible window displays in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Legendary retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney’s, Lord & Taylor’s, Macy’s and Bergdorf Goodman present unique displays this time of year - of favorite children’s stories, and of holidays past, present and future with such detail and care, the end result is truly magical.

See the Sights
You’re never far from something to see or do in Manhattan. Walk down fashionable Fifth Avenue any time of day or night. Take in the neon, the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Walk uptown to the beauty and tranquility of Central Park – if there’s snow on the ground, it’s a picture-postcard come to life. And of course there’s the 9/11 memorials in lower Manhattan, Greenwich Village, Wall Street, The Rock (Rockefeller Center – take a turn on the skating rink – it wouldn’t be winter without a spin on the ice, a favorite activity for one and all), St. Patrick’s Cathedral... the list is endless.

See the Seaport District
Head down to the water to the South Street Seaport Museum – a fabulous historic district with a large concentration of 19th-century renovated mercantile buildings and fascinating sailing ships. Located where Fulton Street meets the East River, you’ll find a booming enclave of shops, restaurants and attractions for a fun-filled afternoon or evening. Stroll around the streets and try to imagine the sea-faring way of life which once flourished in lower Manhattan.

Culture + Education = Museums
New York boasts just about the greatest concentration of museums of any city anywhere, with some of the most world-famous here in the Big Apple. MOMA (the Museum of Modern Art) houses some of the most amazing contemporary collections (Tip: admission is free on Target Free Friday Nights from 4:30 to 8:30pm – double check with the concierge if you’re in NYC on a Friday.). The Metropolitan Museum of Art is in a “grand” category alongside the London’s British Museum and Paris’ Louvre. The American Museum of Natural History is a treat for everyone with super dinosaur exhibits and space shows at the Hayden Planetarium.

Time Warner Center
The Time Warner Center, located at Columbus Circle in the heart of Manhattan (and within walking distance of the Blakely New York) is a 2.8-million square foot thriving up-scale “vertical” urban neighborhood with shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, hotels and apartments. With its collection of specialty high-end retail stores, fine-dining establishments by world-renowned chefs and the Jazz at Lincoln Center concert hall, this is a must-see “destination” – don’t miss it!
