Westminster Dog Show Delights
For Dog (and New York City) Lovers
A complete travel package highlighting America's greatest dog event!
Saturday, February 11 - Arrival in New York and Welcome Reception
~ Depart from your hometown for New York City. Manage your own transportation, or let us assist you in arranging air tickets (+$25) and airport/hotel transfers (call for prices).
Upon arrival in New York, check into one of our great hotels: The 4-star New Yorker which is located just one block from the dog show, has two great on-site restaurants and is where
many of the show dogs stay! Or choose the all-studio suite hotel, the Residence Inn Marriott (+$99) which includes daily breakfast and an evening social buffet on Monday and Tuesday
and is located seven blocks from the show.
After you're settled in this afternoon, enjoy the sights of the city as you choose...
select from the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, explore Greenwich Village or the art galleries
in SoHo, walk up to Times Square or take a carriage ride around Central Park – this city has something for everyone
and the professionals at Huron Tours will assist with your New York City plans.
This evening join your fellow Huron Tours travelers for our included welcome reception!
Great views await and it’s a wonderful chance to mingle and enjoy some good company
complete with fabulous hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
Afterward, the evening will be free to explore the city, have a light dinner,
or catch a Broadway show. Sunday, February 12 -
Exclusive Private City Tour and Lunch at Katz's Deli
~ Today is a special day organized just for Huron Tours' travelers!
We’ll start with a city tour on our private, deluxe motorcoach to see some
of the best highlights of New York. During our morning guided city tour
you’ll see Wall Street, the Twin Towers site, Battery Park, Greenwich Village,
Chinatown, Little Italy, Fifth Avenue, Times Square, The Empire State Building,
Central Park, and lots more! Before we end our day you’ll enjoy lunch
in our favorite New York deli, Katz’s Delicatessen, made famous by the
“I’ll have what she’s having” scene from When Harry Met Sally. This is a special
catered event in the deli - something many New Yorkers would gladly give an arm for (and
when you see the lines you get to SKIP, you'll understand why).
We’ll finish our tour in Times Square just in time for the matinée Broadway
performances. We can purchase excellent advance tickets
for you for Wicked, Mamma Mia, The Jersey Boys, Billy Elliott or any
others you may be interested in. Please call early to review availability and prices.
(included Lunch) Monday and Tuesday, February 13 and 14 -
Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Attendance
~ Both days are Westminster Show days at Madison Square Garden and we have excellent tickets in the "lower endzone"
included for all showings, plus Best in Show on Tuesday evening. (Call for pricing and availability of "sideline" seating.)
Also, included with your package is the official Westminster
Program to follow all the competition as well as dog breeder and handler
details. Westminster is just as good as you expect it to be and better!
It is a dog-lovers paradise as you can meet the dogs and handlers in the benching area,
watch all the dogs being groomed, shop in the huge marketplace at Madison Square Garden,
and feel the excitement as more than 2,100 champions compete and the 28 Best of Breeds are
selected, whittled down to the 7 Best in Group and then finally only one dog remains!
What a treat to see it all. Wednesday, February 15 -
Departure day - or extend your stay with our special hotel pricing.
~ Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and today we depart
for home with memories of a most special visit to a city at a very special time.
Or, stay longer and take advantage of our specially priced rates and add additional hotel nights.
Several of our past travelers have extended their trip to have more free time to enjoy the sights of
New York such as Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, art museums, or a Broadway show!
