Whether you’re planning on making use of bus tours around New York City or planning your own trip, here are a few ideas for themed day trips to the Big Apple to get you started.
Beyond Just Broadway
If you’re a fan of theater, NYC has plenty of places you’ll want to see. Try to schedule your trip around the showtimes for your favorite Broadway show if you can; if this isn’t possible, see what’s available off-Broadway. Even if they’re not the biggest or most popular shows, these theatrical works can make for a great visit to NYC. If you get to the city a bit too early for the show, use the time to check out some attractions related to theater to get yourself ready for the performance.
Big Apple, Big Eats
It’s no secret that New York is an incredible melting pot of different cultures, and that means just as many different types of cuisines. If you consider yourself a culinary expert or just a fan of food, NYC has plenty of incredible restaurants for you to visit. Try to focus your stops around your meal times so you can try out as many different foods as the city has to offer.
Shop ‘Til You Drop
If payday just passed and you’re looking to treat yourself or stock up on gifts for the holidays, see if you can plan your trip around the many different high-end shops in New York. No trip to NYC is complete without at least one stop on 5th Avenue; why not plan your full trip around having a fun shopping spree?
Looking to take a trip to New York, but don’t want to plan the entire day out yourself? Consider one of the many bus tours around New York. The motorcoach industry accounts for 631,000,000 passenger trips annually in the United States and Canada; make your trip to New York one of the millions and save yourself the hassle of figuring out transportation.
