New York in the winter

Will you be joining us in New York this Holiday season?  Need a great idea for a proposal or just some fun things to do? December is a special time in New York as there are so many amazing things going on.  Being a native New Yorker, here is my short list of some great things to do in New York while you are here with us.

#1 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the tree is huge and it over looks the skating rink. On top of that the whole plaza is decorated and it is kind of like you are in a Christmas movie. It's really pretty at night.

#2 Horse and carriage ride in central park, as you can see on the website they do a lot of proposals, but it is a private affair. You get hot chocolate and get to be under a blanket while riding around Central Park. You can arrange with the driver to stop somewhere for a minute to get out of the carriage and propose. You don't have to make reservations, you can just walk up to one of them near the park. Try near 59th and 5th.

#3 Holiday lights boat tour,  this is my FAVORITE thing to do in NYC during the holidays. You are on a boat, covered of course, and you take a tour all around NYC to see the lights from the water. All the bridges are lit up and you can see all the different buildings. It really is amazing.

#4 The Grand Central Station Holiday lights show,  you feel like you are in a snowglobe and the lights are everywhere! As an added bonus? It's free!

#5 If you are feeling really crazy and want to do something really fun, try the indoor ferris wheel at Toys R Us in Times Square. It really is a full sized ferris wheel indoors, so you don't have to worry about cold and Times Square is right outside. Take her for a ride and then take her into Barbie's Dream House to propose, if she is that kind of girly-girl, like myself.  

Best of luck in New York and if you need any more ideas feel free to email me, ryan@diamond.ie and I'd be happy to be of assistance.
