First Evenings Decisions

Hi All, Me and my girlfriend are off to NY on monday 14th November, we are due to land at 12:30 in the afternoon and was wondering what people would recommend to do on the first evening as a welcome to New York thing.

We are staying in the Beacon Hotel on broadway and we are both mid twenties.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

cheers

Hi John

H2B and I are going to go on an open top bus tour of NYC (once we%26#39;ve checked into our hotel and offloaded our bags!) so we can take in all the sights, and then head back to our hotel room with a take out Chinese and to watch some NY TV! This may sound a bit strange but we want to have a relatively easy first night so we can get a good nights sleep and be refreshed for the next day. I know we are going to be exhausted from being up at 2am and travelling all day!

Just thought I%26#39;d share my plans with you!

Cheers

Whatever you decide, FYI most theatres are dark (closed) on Mondays, so Times Square/theatre district will not be the most hopping place. Any other night, it is busier.

Without knowing either what you 2 enjoy or what your idea of quintessential NYC is, it%26#39;s hard to recommend something. A bus tour sounds like a nice idea (Grayline has a city lights tour that goes at around 7pm and takes you around to see the lights. Info here

Or you could start exploring your neighborhood of the upper westside. Here%26#39;s some info. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for info on dining, shopping and nightlife.

Thanks for the advice everyone, we have already planned for theatre sporting events later in the week. The bus ride idea sounds top.

again thanks for your help
