New York, New York!

It’s hard to believe that next week is Thanksgiving break. Irish on Tour are leaving Slippery Rock to visit a city which is a bit larger in size and population; the Big Apple. I am very excited to get the opportunity to explore New York City and I can’t even imagine how busy it will be. We haven’t exactly planned out our trip, but would like to see the obvious places such as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. We are also hoping to catch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

Black Friday will probably be a bit crazy. We have never experienced this before as we don't have it in Ireland and so would love to see this first hand and get some Christmas presents bought. However, we have been warned of the dangers of getting trampled on (or killed) so we might avoid this and go sightseeing that day instead. If anybody has any tips or recommendations on anything else to do or see, I’d appreciate the help! I hope you all enjoy your thanksgiving break and get to spend some well needed quality time with your families!
