Feature Destination: New York City and Philadelphia
Usually Music Travel Consultants does a Feature Presentation on just one city, but with the success of this popular combination trip, we are showcasing this Feature Destination: New York City and Philadelphia.
Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is the oldest in the country! Bands march before thousands of parade-goers, finishing at the famous steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. From cheese-steak to art to historic sites, Philadelphia makes you wish you could stay longer.
Next, drive to New York City, one of the greatest cities in the world, especially during the holidays. Take in a great musical on Broadway, and don’t miss the world-famous Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes! Marvel at amazing views from One World Observatory and enjoy the expansive collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dine in Little Italy or Chinatown, shop ‘til you drop around Herald Square, hike the High Line and surf the subway. From Harlem to Battery Park, there is something for everyone in the Big Apple!
New York City
The ‘Big Apple’ nickname was coined by musicians who played “the big time” in New York.
