Pre-Holiday Get-together NYC 12/1 Since I really, really, really like hanging out with you guys I thought up an idea for all of us (under-21's are welcome 2). Let me know what you think (yay, nay, suggestions, yadda yadda).
Date: Saturday, December 1st. Time: early/mid afternoon Idea: a little holiday shopping and fun stuff. My original idea kicked off from wanting to go see the tree & go skating @ Rockefeller Center. Then a bright, but Mad Angry Panda mentioned the holiday markets throughout the city and I thought we could kill 1 bird with two stones...shopping and get-together. Details: Rockefeller Center, 5th Avenue (btwn 49th & 50th). Ice Skating sessions are 1 1/2 hours (8:30, 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, 4:30, 6:30, 8:30 and 10:30). Cost is $17.50 plus $9.00 skate rental. Other things to do @ Rockefeller Center...Rockefeller Center tour, NBC tour, The Today Show and Radio City Music Hall tour. The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park The Holiday Shops transform Bryant Park into an old-fashioned holiday market styled in the European tradition. This free holiday fair features more than 100 artisans and merchants from around the world. While you're there, take a shopping break for free ice skating at The Pond at Bryant Park.

Union Square Park Holiday Market Union Square Park becomes a winter shopping wonderland with an outdoor holiday market featuring 100+ artisans and vendors.
