Visiting NYC? Here's some things you should know for December



December is a great month to visit New York City. It's a festive and beautiful time. A great time to see our beautiful city in lights! With so many things to do its an experience you'll never forget.
1)One thing to remember is its cold here this time of year. So be prepared especially if you plan on walking and exploring the city.
2)If this is your first time to the city and never experienced the subway a perfect guide to help you navigate the subway system is www.hopstop.com This website can be downloaded to pretty much any mobile device. All you need to know is your location and destination. HopStop will take you there with safe and easy directions to follow. Subway, Bus, Car, and even walking. The fare in NYC is current $2.25 per ride. If you plan to stay for a couple of days your better off getting an UNLIMITED WEEKLY Metro Card. You can take as many rides as possible within 7 days. Cost is $29.00 and worth every dime. You can purchase a metro card in vending stations on the subway platforms. They take coin, cash, and credit cards. Or at a toll both located in the subway platform as well. Many are operated 24 hours a day.
3)There are many events going on this time of year.
The Rockettes are performing at Radio City Music Hall

Santa's visiting Macy's
and Broadway is offering many deals for this holiday season so come check out a show
4) Now is a great time to shop all the Christmas sales make it affordable. But be prepared for the crowds especially around the window displays. Many Departments stores put on big displays. You should check some out Macy's 34th street Herald Square, Barneys 5th Ave and 59th street, Bloomingdales 3rd Ave and 59th street just to name a few.

5)New Years Eve is like no other in NYC if your willing to deal with the long line, crowds and bitter cold check out Dick Clarks Rockin Eve in Times Square

Just be sure to get there early and bundle up. And try to wear comfy shoes!
