The 'Bombshell' Trip to NYC Itineary

[charly77]

Hi Guys,

Posted a while back about our trip in December, over Christmas. We have since all written down 5 things we want to do whilst there and have planned a 'rough' itinerary. There are some parts which are set due to pre-booking them, however most is changeable.
Have a look, see what you think and please offer your expertise. We don't really want to add anything else as it is quite packed and I think we'll end up dropping some things due to time constraints...
I look forward to your comments!

Looks like a good plan to me. You are definitely fitting in a lot of stuff.

Hot Choco from serendipity is the best.

Look forward to reading you report!
