Get Glamorous with the Sex and The City or Gossip Girl Tour
New York City is the setting for more than a few hit television series, and now you can live vicariously through your favorite characters—whether you’re a Carrie fan or a Serena girl. There’s no better way to do Manhattan than the 3.5 hour Sex and the City Tour, which takes you to 40 locations made famous from the show, including Magnolia Bakery (where you can grab a delicious cupcake for yourself) and the charming boutiques on Bleecker Street. If you’re more of an Upper East Sider, the Gossip Girl Tour is just as in depth, and of course, steeped with secrets! Visit the hotel that the Bass and Van der Woodsen families call home and stop by Constance Billard & St. Jude’s before gazing in the windows of Henri Bendel, where Blair and Serena shop.
Shop ‘til You Drop at Woodbury Common
New York City is the fashion capital of the world, so what’s a NYC getaway without a little shopping time squeezed in? Of course, just because you’re in New York doesn’t mean you want to spend an arm and a leg on the hottest fashions. The Woodbury Common Outlet Trip solves that problem with a shoppers’ haven of 220 premium outlet stores, including Burberry, Crate & Barrel, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Prada, and so much more. With round trip transportation provided, the Woodbury Common Outlets are the ideal day trip for girlfriends who love to shop till they drop.
Get Artsy at the MoMA or The Met
The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art are among the top New York City attractions for visitors from all over the globe. At the MoMa, you’ll find revolutionary pieces from modern masters like Jackson Pollack, Salvador Dali, and Vincent Van Gogh—you’ll even see Van Gogh’s original The Starry Night. A trip to the Met is imbued in culture and class. With more than two million pieces from around the globe, this famous art museum features rare collections and incredible temporary exhibitions. With so much to explore, no trip to the Met is ever the same, so even if you’ve already experienced it, bring your girlfriends by for a second visit.Enjoy the View from the Top at the Empire State Building
