New York City Tourism & Convention Christmas Lunch

Waking us up to the city that never sleeps, Tryphavana Cross (affectionately known as TC) hosts a lovely lunch in The Grayson on Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green on December 17th.

Tryphavana was delighted to update us on New York’s continuing popularity and she advised that Ireland is still an enormous supporter of the US with ever increasing visitor numbers to New York. Well, we do like to shop! Also, we can’t forget the amazing attractions of the city from theatres on Broadway to the charms of Central Park, fabulous restaurants and incredible sightseeing opportunities.

Tryphavana used the occasion to thank the travel trade for their ongoing support. Unfortunately, Rob Beckham was supposed to join us from Scotland, but due to unforeseen circumstances, didn’t make it to Dublin. However, we all said hello on live chat and exchanged season’s greetings!

Thank you TC and NYC for a great afternoon of networking and Happy Christmas to all.
