Romantic weekend in NYC, help me plan
I'd like to plan a 4 or 5 night trip for DH and I to NY (we've never been), either for the fall to see central park when the leaves are turning (when is that? Late Sept, early Oct?) or in early December to catch some of the Christmas fun.
We're not into guided tours, more of walking, people watching, relaxed. Where should we stay? Our budget for hotel is prob $250/per night. It is so hard to sort through everything on Expedia. The hotel has to have at least a queen bed, no double. We usually stay in hotels like a Marriott, but NYC seems much more expensive than we are used to seeing, which makes sense I guess.
On terms of romantic dates, any suggestions? Not really into the spa thing.
Any great restaurants, unique or trendy?
Any seasonal must sees/do?
TIA
Re: Romantic weekend in NYC, help me plan
It has been a while since I've visited during the holidays, but it's not likely you can find a decent hotel that meets your budget so I'd stay away from that timeframe.
Do you have a budget for a nice meal? There are tons of choices, but a lot will depend on what you want to spend.
i think you might have a really tough time finding a hotel for 250/night in december. it's one of the highest tourist seasons here. in manhattan anyway. you might be able to find one in jersey or the outer boroughs but who knows.
there are about 3 million restaurants here. do you have any particular type of food in mind? there's also so much to do that we could be here all day listing things.
the leaves change mid/end of october. super beautiful time to visit. you also might have a bit of an issue finding a hotel then for 250. we're always pricey. but it's worth it
