CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK MUSIC, THEATRE, ART & FOOD DECEMBER 21, 2020 – JANUARY 2, 2021 TOUR LEADER: DR MATTHEW LAING

Overview New York goes all out for the holiday season, and you’ll experience the very best of its festive spirit on this 13-day tour to the Big Apple at Christmas. As with our other New York tours, we have carefully designed a range of experiences to please all the senses. This includes the very best in opera, symphony concerts, musicals and drama, some of the world’s top art and history museums, and a selection of the city’s best restaurants. Accommodation is in spacious premier plus rooms at the Warwick Hotel on 54th Street in midtown Manhattan. The location is within walking distance of Carnegie Hall, the theatres of Times Square and the Museum of Modern Art. It is also close to the Lincoln Center, Central Park and the Rockefeller Center. Christmas in New York affords many unique opportunities and experiences, from the beauty of Central Park in the snow, to the elaborate window displays in the stores on 5th Avenue, to the dropping of the ball at Times Square on New Year’s Eve to herald in the new year. We’ll also explore the history, architecture and art of New York, with a series of lectures, walking tours and special site visits that are designed to tell the story of the evolution and the future of this remarkable world city. This Christmas tour to New York aims to combine a festive atmosphere with the best cultural, historical and artistic experiences the city has to offer.

Your tour leader Dr Matthew Laing is a historian and political scientist at Monash University who has led tours to the Americas and Europe with ADFAS Travel for five years. He has a strong personal interest in architecture, cultural history and modern art, with a particular expertise in the United States. Matthew holds a BA and PhD from the Australian National University and wrote his doctorate on the history of the United States presidency. He has worked as a lecturer and research fellow at the Australian National University, Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and now at Monash University in

Melbourne. He is an accredited ADFAS lecturer and frequently holds public lecture series in Melbourne. He currently teaches United States history and leadership and has published on both topics. Matthew’s tours strive for intellectual engagement and to reveal the stories, both big and small, that can bring history to life. A voracious reader and traveler, Matthew endeavors to be a generalist and draws upon a wide range of subjects – from politics to architecture – to develop his understanding of a place. Matthew’s passion for the United States started as an intern in the United States Congress in 2007.

“I chose this tour due to the highlighted itinerary and this lived up to expectations and even exceeded them. The choice of theatre/opera/musicals/symphony was exceptional. The tour leader’s knowledge was outstanding and Matthew was also very warm, helpful and friendly.” – Feedback from Matthew’s recent Thanksgiving in New York tour, November 2018.
