November 2008
Greetings!
The city is buzzing now with so many holiday activities, it's truly a challenge to choose just a few items to tell you about. We could easily write a daily newsletter, rather than a monthly, and still have too much to cover. The good news is, if you are looking for something that we haven't mentioned, visit the New York Guest website or just give us a call. We're here to be your best NYC resource for all your planning needs.

 The Heat...
Historically, November and December have definitely NOT been the time of year to find excellent deals on hotel packages in New York City. But this year things are a little different. If you're thinking about coming to the city, but worried about your budget, give us a call. We are getting new deals every day that even we can't believe! Just a few noteworthy deals on our desk:
3-Star newly rennovated Chelsea Hotel:
$109 per night through 11/28, $169 in December (including New Years!)
3-Star brand new hotel in Midtown:
Starting at $199 per night
4-Star Lower Manhattan Hotel with amazing views:
Weekends starting at $199 per night
To book these and other fantastic rates, please call or email us for more information. At New York Guest we will always work with your budget and find you options unavailable anywhere else.
Also, don't forget about our great Holiday travel packages on our website!

 What's Tasty...
When we go out to eat, we prefer restaurants that have a certain "New York flavor"-- restaurants unique to the city where flavor, atmosphere and service mix for a perfect New York experience. The Upper East Side's Mon Petit Cafe, embodies all of these qualities. This Mom-and-Daughter owned and run restaurant combines a warm and inviting atmosphere with outstanding french cuisine. Thursdays are our favorite due to the weekly Cous Cous Royale special-- a Thursday night staple for years that keeps us coming back for more. You may even see us here on Thanksgiving day ordering from the special 3-course Thanksgiving menu featuring both traditional and classic French choices. Bon Appetit!
Contact New York Guest for dining reservations at Mon Petit Cafe, and other unique New York City restaurants.

Thank you Jana so much for

NYC TRIVIA
|
October's Question:
How did Coney Island get its name?
The Dutch settlers called it "Konijn Eiland", or Rabbit Island. This is just one of several places in New York with Dutch inspired names that still exist today.
November Question:
What will happen to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree after the holidays?
