NYC over Christmas

Everything that would not belong anywhere else.

We've been debating this for quite a while (did last year, too...decided not to). Wife would love to go; I've never been. She lived there for 3 summers working at the 92Y camp.

Other than it costs a pretty penny to get there, stay and eat/libations...

Has anyone done this?

What are you opinions either way?

NYC?

Nope, place is a shit hole. Did my round there in 1999, and won't go back. Dirty, filthy place. Sorta like San Fran only east.

Not my style.
LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!

Greatest city in the US, as far as I am concerned. But going there in winter? Especially this one, said to be a tough one. -40, tons of snow and stuff.

Very cool city.

Quite literally, in the winter.

But definitely somewhere you should go.

I live in Montana; snow and cold isn't a problem.

I think regardless of how you feel about NYC, it's one of those things that ya gotta do at some point.

Probably not in Montana, where everybody knows how to deal with it. ;)

That's not a real place.

That's what all the people south of the Wall say.

I did this with my GF last year. Aside from the bitter cold which several have already pointed out, it's definitely it's own world. Look in the right places you can find some of the best food in America. There are some fantastic museums. Speakeasies, if that's your thing, hark back to early NYC, and the various tourist accouterments that dress the city seem to shine a little brighter under an NYC winter. It's a city that you can make in to your own no matter what, and if you only go once, go.
