New York Kicks-Off Third Annual Winter Outing
byDaniel McCarthy/
The third annual New York City Winter Outing is officially underway.
New York City’s new mayor Eric Adams, along with NYC & Company’s Fred Dixon, Empire State Realty Trust’s Anthony E. Malkin, and cast members for a number of Broadway plays including Aladdin and Chicago, were all on-hand at the Empire State Building on Tuesday to kick-off the Winter Outing’s 2022 edition.
“Tourism is the heart and soul of our city,” Adams said on Tuesday. “Why would you want to go anywhere else except New York City?”
The goal of the program is to help continue New York’s post-pandemic recovery by getting people to come back out to the city, whether it’s locals looking to explore another borough, or domestic travelers hoping to have an extended New York vacation or international travelers who have put their plans on hold because of COVID.
“It’s a way of energizing New Yorkers to come back out,” Adams added.
The term “Winter Outing” is an umbrella term for the combination of four different programs that the City is running simultaneously starting on Tuesday:
- NYC Restaurant Week: hundreds of restaurants across the five boroughs will be offering prix-fixe menus for a limited time ranging from two- to three-course meals for either $29, $39, or $59 (runs through Feb. 13).
- NYC Broadway Week: Broadways shows across the city will be offering 2-for-1 tickets including Chicago, Tina, Lion King, Book of Mormon, and more (runs through Feb. 13).
- NYC Must-See Week: a number of attractions, including the Empire State Building Observatory, the Big Apple Circus, Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, Top of the Rock Observation, and more, will be offering 2-for-1 tickets (runs through Feb. 13).
- 纽约酒店周:纽约市冬季郊游的最新成员整个城市的酒店offering 22% stays (runs through Feb. 13).
总共,冬季郊游提供了500多家餐厅,百老汇演出的门票和45多个博物馆的交易;整个城市的酒店享受近130处物业的折扣。
对于纽约和酒店业而言,对纽约的其他行业没有很多重要的行业 - 根据纽约与公司的考验,2019年,由于这些行业,在该市创造了超过400,000个工作岗位和722亿美元。尽管这些数字在过去的两年中遭受了大流行的影响,但纽约能够吸引国内旅行者,这是亚当斯(Adams)在周二向他的帽子倾斜的同伙,以帮助弥补最近的一些下降。
“It shows what we can do when we come out,” Adams said. “This is the city to be in.”
