Enjoy the Christmas season in New York City with the Radio
City Music Hall Christmas Show featuring the Rockettes!
Our second and last trip will be December
7-10, 2007 (Friday Morning-Monday Evening). Due to several requests
by our guests for an additional night we have decided to do 3 nights
on our last trip. The Hotel Metro has offered us a reduced price for
the room if we spend Sunday night and depart Monday noon. Three nights
in the Hotel Metro including buffet breakfast each morning. This trip
will include Radio City’s Christmas Show and dinner both being
optional. Departing Rochester’s or Syracuse Amtrak Station Friday
morning at 5:42AM, arriving NYC at 12:25PM. Transfer to Hotel Metro,
5 minutes walk from Macy’s and the Empire State Building. The
balance of Friday afternoon and evening will be free time in New York
for shopping, viewing window displays, touring and possibly getting
tickets for a Broadway show. Saturday will also be free time until
5:00PM when those having dinner with group will meet. The Radio City
Christmas Show starring the Rockettes is at 7:30PM following dinner.
We will offer a reasonable optional guided tour of the backstage operations
of Radio City Music Hall on Saturday. Sunday will be a free day in
New York for shopping and touring. We will be departing the hotel by
transfer bus at 12:15PM on Monday to Penn. Station and our 1:45PM departure
to Rochester or Syracuse, arriving Monday evening at 8:25PM.
2007 hotel prices are not available at this
writing, but due to the popularity of these pre-Christmas trips it
is necessary for us to make reservations 11 months in advance. Our
pre-Christmas trips will only increase by the amount of rail, hotel,
and theater price increases. These price increases usually amount
to 6% per year increase. The reason we are notifying you at this time
is that several people from our previous trips that have contacted
us since December 15, 2006 and we are holding space for them on the
2007 pre-Christmas trips. The 2006 NYC trip prices were from $650.00
to $775.00 per person double occupancy depending on the week, number
of days in New York, show and type of accommodations in the hotel.
This includes coach fare on Amtrak, hotel, transfers Penn. Station-Hotel-Penn
Station, 2 or 3 breakfasts, 1 dinner, baggage handling, taxes and
orchestra ticket for Radio City’s Christmas show starring the
Rockettes. Children’s rates are about 50% of adult rates depending
on the number of adults in the room and triple occupancies and 2 bedroom
suites for 4 adults or families are available by calling us.
We can give you information on purchasing Broadway show tickets by
telephoning us. You may also decide not to go to the Christmas Show
starring the Rockettes. We must know this by March 15, 2007 and the
show costs will be deducted from your trip cost. Please remember if
you select not to go to the show & cancel your reservations it
would leave us space to sell without a Christmas Show Ticket.
For several years we have had our Pre-Christmas show dinner at O’Reillys
Restaurant. We chose this restaurant as have found no complaints about
the meals and they only changed their group prices to us 1 time in
5 years. It was suggested in December 2006 that we might change restaurants
next year just for a change and the people in our group said, "Don’t
you dare!" The restaurant serves our entire group in a little
over 1 hour so we have comfortable time to make our show. The restaurant
is a 3 minute walk from the hotel.
We will change the menu a bit this year. The 2-night trip, dinner
is Thursday evening and the 3-night trip dinner is on Saturday evening,
both before the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. The restaurant
is a 3-minute walk from our hotel making it very convenient. You may
if you prefer not have dinner at O’Reilly’s the meal costs
will be reduced from your trip cost.
