EVERYTHING TO DO FACEBOOK GROUP POST OF THE WEEK

City Guide's Everything To Do NYC Facebook Group brings together 53,000 tourists and city superfans  to share notes on what's happening right now in NYC. You can get a clear picture of traveler interests here, and what locals are recommending, as in this recent post:

My mom has always wanted to go to NYC at christmas time. We are going in December and seeing a couple shows and getting a carriage ride around central park. What are some other things to do during the day before our shows and good places to eat? (we don’t mind splurging a bit but cheaper side appreciated)

Among the 85 comments are recommendations for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular (of course), holiday markets, the tree, and then less expected ideas like Free Tours By Foot, a tour of Dyker Heights, Keens Steakhouse, Viennese treats at the Hungarian Pastry Shop, a Messiah performance at Trinity Church, Christmas Eve caroling at Washington Square Park, Tuba Christmas in Rockefeller Center, the tree at the Met, and the MoMA gift store for original holiday shopping. ETD is a great way to take the pulse of the city. It's also a useful way to market your venue directly to consumers. If you're not a member yet, join us!
