The 10 Best Things to do in Rockefeller Center, New York (NY)

April 8, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

During our recent pre-cruise visit to New York city, our party of six used Precision NY for going from LGA to our hotel near Times Square and from the hotel to the cruise port. We had six large suitcases and six carry-ons - more than enough for a 14-day cruise. Precision supplied a Mercedes Sprinter van for both trips, and it served our needs perfectly. We were lucky enough to have Mr. G. Singh as our chauffeur for both rides. He was well spoken, immaculately dressed, and an excellent driver. We missed our connection in Toronto to the incoming flight and were re-routed by Air Canada. As soon as we landed at Toronto I called Precision and they immediately amended our booking. Mr. Singh texted us as soon as the plane touched down at LGA, waited while we got our luggage (we are slow old folks) and then drove right up to where we were waiting. He loaded our luggage and assisted us in boarding. For the trip to the pier a few days later Mr. Singh was right on time and again provided great service. Had we not already booked the cruise line's shuttle from the pier to the airport at the end of our cruise we would have called Precision again. I recommend Precision NY to anyone requiring transportatation in New York City.

Attended the 2019 Holiday show, and was so impressed. The integration of tech graphics, the orchestra, live animals, the chorale singers, and of course the phenomenal Rockettes, into the sets was perfect. I hadn't been to Radio City in years, and it was as exceptional as I remembered.

Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland

One of the best places to get truffles, they serve all different types of flavors which can be packaged and given as gifts. It is recommended that you consume them under 2 weeks and not to refrigerate or freeze the chocolates. The champagne truffles were the best for me.
