The Ultimate Checklist to HOME ALONE 2: Lost in New York
-
Land in NYC at LaGuardia Airport. See your first glance at New York City
-
Yellow cab it into the city via the 59th Street Queensboro Bridge
-
First things first, check into The Plaza Hotel (768 5th Avenue) It\'s truly magical during the holidays. https://www.theplazany.com Did you know The Plaza also has a HOME ALONE experience https://tinyurl.com/homealonexperience BTW Kevin stayed in room 411
-
First stop visit Radio City Music Hall (1260 6th Avenue) This is home to the Radio City Rockettes, which is one of the most famous Christmas shows in the city. Grab tickets to the show while you are here https://www.rockettes.com/christmas
-
Grab breakfast at Empire Diner in the Meatpacking District before you start your day (210 10th Avenue) http://empire-diner.com This is also a cool neighborhood to explore and definitely walk The High Line. You can also grab a coffee at Intelligentsia Coffee (a Chicago favorite) at The High Line Hotel (180 10th Avenue)
-
Visit Mott Street in Chinatown (exact movie location is 32 Mott Street) which is now closed but you can still take a photo here. While you are in Chinatown shop hugely discounted accessories and more and enjoy some Chinese food. May I suggest the Golden Unicorn (18 E Broadway)
-
See the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park. You can also dine at Merchants River House http://merchantsriverhouse.com and shop at Brookfield Place https://bfplny.com
-
Kevin views the entire city from World Trade Center but obviously the towers are no longer there. Instead visit the One World Trade Center. You can still see a gorgeous view from the top https://oneworldobservatory.com/en-US and also visit the 9/11 Museum https://911tributemuseum.org, or even enjoy a guided tour https://911groundzero.com/911-tour-freedom-tower-observatory-entry. The park and memorial is also a beautiful place to see.
