New York City is hopping each December with tourists. This year, Recreation is offering residents a chance to join the bustling crowds without making the long drive.
Southborough Rec teamed up with Ashland Rec again to offer a day trip to NYC. This year’s jaunt takes place on Saturday, December 15th. But to register, you need to register by Friday, December 7th.
The trip is for all ages, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
A “luxury coach” will pick up and drop off from Ashland’s Community Center (162 West Union Street). The bus will depart at 6:00 am and return by about 11:00 pm. That will give visitors from about 10:00 am to 6:45 pm to make the most of the city:
Want to see New York City? Don’t want to drive and spend half the day looking for parking?

At last, a chance for you to get away to New York, New York- The Big Apple! Here, you can get an early start on your shopping, spend the day sightseeing, or visit New York’s world class museums. From the latest fashion on Fifth and Madison Avenues to quaint antique shops in Greenwich Village, from the world’s largest department stores to discount and bargain shops, The Big Apple has it all! You will be on your own for the day to enjoy the city at your own pace. There will be a brief stop at the halfway point both to and from New York for coffee, snacks and a restroom break.
