It costs $64 to skate at Rockefeller Center? I don’t know why I’m shocked, but f*** that noise.
Hi everyone,
My wife and I had planned a visit to New York from Vancouver, Canada for our honeymoon. We are unfortunately going to be canceling our trip. The latest COVID news isn't looking promising and the Canadian government is expected to announce new measures today that will make it tougher for international travel, including the United States.
Given how contagious this new variant is, we don't feel confident that we won't contract the virus with what we had planned in New York, and that would jeopardize our plans getting home - possibly leaving us stranded in New York for an undetermined amount of time and on the hook for an unanticipated cost.
I did buy tickets to two events which unfortunately are non-refundable and was wondering if anyone is interested in buying them. Im not making any money on these and the prices are what I had paid for them. I hope posting these on this forum is OK and I apologize if it's not. I can be trusted and I am sure @BroadwayBlue99 can attest to this.

Quick question attending msgMy wife got us tickets for the lightening game on Sunday. Do we have to bring our actual vaccination cards? Or can we just bring pictures of? Can't find a concrete answer..
Thanks broQuick question attending msg
Short answer is I would bring the actual card, but there's more details about stipulations in the closed thread I linked.
Not sure how similar to Rose's it is (I rarely ate there) but Pizza Suprema is right next to the post office entrance to Penn on 31st and 8th.Heading in for Henrik’s banner raising. I’m real sad Rosa’s closed in Penn Station. Any good pizza close by MSG similar to Rosa’s

Rosa’s reopened on 7th between 33rd and 34th but it’s extremely small.
Sorry abou t your japan trip. I postponed a 2 week trip to Japan/Hong Kong twice now. What was your planned itinerary? With some obvious differences, tokyo and NYC are very similar. You can go for a few days and hit the major sites or spend more time to visit outside the major tourist traps. There might even be baseball!Hey all,
I booked 5 weeks off work in March/April to go to Japan. Between Omicron and the Japanese government being stricter than most Covid-wise that trip unfortunately doesn't seem possible. My current thinking is that maybe I'll spend a week or two in either Ireland or Portugal/Spain and then come to New York for a little bit and to catch the Sens play the Rangers.
I don't really know too much about what to do in NYC other than the obvious Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge etc. The OP has lots of good info. I'd certainly like to try Katz, NYC style pizza, maybe one of those BBQ or craft beer places, maybe go to the museum of Natural History.
How many days do you think one should stay in NYC? What would you say the must do things/food is? If it makes a difference I would be on my own.
Katz's is overrated. Instead of going to the Statue of Liberty, take the SI Ferry from Manhattan to SI and back, it is the closest you can get to the statue without going to the island. If you want to splurge on a steakhouse, Peter Lugger's in Brooklyn. Expensive, but good. If you want to REALLY feast then Plataforma Churruscarria on 49th between 8th and 9th (or 9th and 10th). Brazilian rodizio. Museum of Natural History is pretty cool. Benefit of going now is if you go on a weekday, not as likely to run into as many school trips as you would under normal conditions. Bronx zoo is also a good day, but not aware of public transportation access. Since it is April, Mets or Yankees should be on a homestand while you are here. Both stadiums easily accessible by train.Hey all,

It depends on what you like - 5 weeks is a long time in one place but spread out across an entire country is different as you can go to a lot of different places. There are plenty of group and walking tours you can do in NYC. There are a ton of museums and historic churches large and small to visit (kind of like visting tiny shrines of a 500 year old daimyo hidden between a 7-11 and a bar). As @patnyrnyg said, we'll hopefully have baseball in April so you should catch a game at one of the stadiums (I also highly recommend a baseball game in Japan). There probably isn't something like sumo wrestling in the US unless maybe that's what nonfans think of hockey. There are definitely loads of different restaurants in NYC so you should be able to get anything you want, depending on your budget of course. Ultimatly there are a lot of places that aren't on most tourist itineraries that are worth checking out but it really depends on your interests. In new cities I personally like the boat rides and the hop on/hop off buses to get a feel for a city as a whole, time permitting.I was planning on doing a group tour and also a multi day trail walk. Didn't really plan anything else in depth since there was uncertainty.

There's a few different ones with a lot of different routes. Last time I went on one was late 2019 in Athens and they had 4 routes and you can buy a combination and transfer between the routes you paid for. You might be interested in the NYC pass which I think comes with 1 day of hop on/off bus.Yeah definitely wouldn't spend 5 weeks in New York. Like a week max, maybe 3 or 4 days. Good to hear you have hop on hop off busses. Those are usually enjoyable and give a good oversight.
