The holidays are the perfect opportunity for a short much-needed getaway to recharge, refresh and reconnect with family. NYC is rich with beautiful hotels and experiences for every budget. Plus, staying in NYC helps circumvent airport mishaps and dreadful long road trips.

The NY Post recently compiled a list of the most festive family holiday hotels in NYC. Here is the lineup:

In November of 2019, Shlomo Gertzulin, Executive VP of The Siyum exhorted those interested in attending the Siyum HaShas to order their tickets as soon as possible. “Once the Siyum seats are gone, they are gone,” said Rabbi Gertzulin. “There are only limited seats available, and many sections are already completely reserved. Once the remaining seats sell out, it will just be too late. Please, don’t wait any longer to get your seats, so you will not be disappointed.” Photo Credit: Vimeo.com
