So I am planning on another trip to NJ/Ny for the Christmas
holidays and am super excited.

Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center and Wollman Rink

LE reads these boards, too.
Also, I was at the Palace a month  or so ago and they were renovating the lobby, including the Villard Houses.  It was a real mess.

Besides, the Palace over 900 rooms...huge place and you can get lost in there

Sounds to me like business+pleasure trip.  Also keep in mind, even if the trip is pleasure, we're still on a hooker/john board and it's obvious most of the recommendations would be of hotels used for that purpose.  Thus, not discreet.
As for the renovations, I hope you're right but it certainly bears checking with the hotel.  It was a mess a month or so ago, but not possible to tell how far along they are.

I said "must see places". I did not mention places/hotels to work out of. I have that covered already.

Just kidding......kinda.
There is of course all the normal NY Christmas things like The Rocketts annual Christmas show.  
Is "A Christmas Story" on Broadway again this season? I bet that would be a fun show.
Last year I was in NY when they were having a Santa Clause pub crawl.  It was a hoot.  
Don't forget to window shop on 5th Ave. Macy's is just one of many stores fun to visit during the Holidays.

I would be the first in line....hehe...

Hi Makenzie,

but at the person who recommended the Palace.  I hope that's clear now.  Have a great visit to NY.

Christmas at Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Ave.: The one time even the men's eyes sparkle....END

Go up to 'top of the rock' - Rockefeller center observation deck.  Far better than the Empire State Building.
Go see MoMA and the Met.  If you like theater then to see something off Broadway rather than a gaudy Broadway show.  Lots of awesome theater at the moment in the city.   PM me for specific recommendations but you need to tell me what you like.
Hang out at some of the rocking NYC bars.  I like PDT and the room down below.
See a show at the Bowery ballroom and at the Mercury Lounge.
Go eat BBQ at Dinosaur BBQ.  Then have a meal at Per Se.  And another at Le Bernadin.  If you can get a booking then have a power lunch at The Four Seasons.
Hang out at the King Cole bar at the St Regis and laugh at the mural of Old King Cole farting.
Catch the Staten Island Ferry.....  Not at peak hour.  Go to the potato famine memorial.  Go to the 9/11 memorial.
Take the 6 train beyond the terminus from Brooklyn bridge station and see the abandoned City Hall station.
If it is warm enough the walk the Brooklyn bridge.  

For some reason, they choose the Christmas season to put giant rainbow lighted dildoes on display the McGraw-Hill building near Rockefeller Center.  Also, giant balls.  

I hope this works. Picture of the erotic display

have to get some pics of them...

the tree and the skating rink..Wont go ice skating though..

I bet it is soo pretty...hey maybe I will get my first ever gift from
there a piece of Tiffany....

Phantom of the Opera is great!!

Sorry guys ... This is off topic.  There is no PM envelope under KennedyNYC's handle.  I've been trying to locate a NYC provider named Kennedy and I'm wondering if K-NYC is a provider and how to contact her or find her website.  If anyone knows, I have VIP / PM.  Thank you.

Also visit Columbus Circle.  Do some shopping there and check out the views of Central Park.

This was my favorite show thus far and I usually see about 5 shows per NYC visit. The humor and watching the shock of faces in the audience are priceless!
