[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your budget? Tea in the Plaza’s Palm Court would be an excellent (and stationary) way to spend the afternoon. [/quote]

Tea at the Plaza is a great idea if you can afford it. Another place that is fun with kids is Alice's Teacup. They have one on the UWS and UES. You'll probably need to take cabs or Uber everywhere. Depending how many of you there are, a horse drawn carriage through Central Park. Bundle up! It will be very cold in February with the possibility of rain/snow/wind.

A Broadway show is a great idea. Take a cab and get as close as you can to the front doors. Leaving can be a challenge to get a car. We usually walk for a ways and get something not so close to the theaters.

Pizza at John's in the Theater District can be fun for the kids, and is great pizza with beer and wine for the adults. Music on The Barge in Brooklyn is wonderful, though I've never taken a cab to get there, and there is a lot of stairs involved taking the subway. Plus, the train station is a good trek away from the actual barge, which is on the East River.

I haven't seen it in a while, but I used to see this sideways bus thing that toured different areas. Like stadium seats facing out for better viewing. The last time I saw one some ballet dancers came out from behind on of the statues in Columbus Circle and danced as the bus went by. On the other side of the circle some other kind of entertainer appeared with whatever they did to entertain. Something like that might be better than one of the double decker buses, which are mainly good when you get to sit on the open top. Not in February, though.

I'm another naysayer for the Circle Line in February. You'll have to be behind the plastic curtains and those are hard to see through. There's a dinner cruise that leaves from Chelsea Piers that goes down to the Statue of Liberty. It is a ship and indoors. But make sure you don't sit by the band. It is LOUD. We took my parents and they were not fans. We did it again with friends (and we were all drinking) and that was fun. [/quote]
