PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL/ ROCKETTES/HOLIDAY MARKET No visit to New York at Christmas time would be complete without a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral. First built in 1879, the Manhattan landmark is renowned for its soaring spires, colossal organ, and exemplary rose window, and is the seat of the Archbishop of New York. Then, head a few blocks for a guided tour of the legendary Radio City Music Hall, prestigiously located on the Avenue of the Americas within Rockefeller Center. Get an inside look of this famed theater, and meet a Rockette! Enjoy lunch on your own while perusing through Columbus Circle's Holiday Market. It's a great place to treat yourself to hot chocolate and gingerbread while browsing the booths, or relive the Old Country. This market is the only Christmas market in New York City with a stand that serves hot mulled wine (Gluhwein) and German Beer at their Bratwurst Stand. When the sun goes down, we savor an included dinner before capping off the evening at the New York Broadway hit musical, "Come From Away".

B x About the Hotel Beacon A "Beacon" of Elegance & Comfort. For your Manhattan Yuletide celebration, unpack for 4 nights at the stately Hotel Beacon, a haven from the City's hustle-and-bustle, situated perfectly amid the tree- lined streets and landmark buildings of the historic Upper West Side. With wonderful views of the Hudson River, Midtown Manhattan, and Central Park, the Beacon features tasteful, oversized rooms (with kitchenettes) and sophisticated, relaxing atmosphere throughout. Centrally located amid dozens of New York's great cultural establishments, it's also an ideal home- base for your free-time explorations of the restaurants, markets, entertainments and fashionable addresses off trendy Central Park West. A Word About This Tour… Travelers taking this tour should be comfortable walking in congested settings as New York City at holiday time is festively busy. Free time is set aside on different occasions to allow travelers to explore on their own. Examples of this are around Rockefeller Center, Macy's, and the Christmas Markets. Transfers to the Hotel Beacon are included in your package, and detailed instructions will be given, however these transfers will be independent of the group activities. Travelers should be in good walking condition to enjoy this amazing city.
