New York City is a special place, every time of year. But if you’re spending the thanksgiving seasons in the city that never sleeps, you’re probably looking for the best things to do.

This article will walk you through all of the November activities you should consider when in New York.

See the Radio City Rockettes 

The Rockettes have been dazzling New Yorkers and tourists for almost 100 years now. They’re a precision dance group — a type of dance that focuses on absolute unity of movement.

While the Rockettes had to take some time off due to the COVID 19 pandemic, their popular Christmas Spectacular show is returning on November 5th. The show features iconic kicklines, swift costume changes, and glamorous sets.

Whether you’re new to New York or have visited hundreds of times before, the Rockettes are always a fantastic, eye-opening experience.

Make use of one of our great garages, right by the venue, so you don’t have to deal with the nightmare of New York City street parking before the show.

See the Nutcracker

The story of the Nutcracker is an unlikely one. How did a Russian ballet composed by Tchaikovsky in the 19th century become a pop-cultural staple that persists in the 21st century?

The answer is a simple case of New York magic. Innovative Georgian-American choreographer,  George Balanchine staged a famous version featuring actual children, and that production is still running to this day.

The Nutcracker is one of those things that simply everyone should experience, allowing one to get in touch with American Christmas culture and classical Russian music.

Check out one of our parking locations right on Broadway to make the trip easier.
