TRAVEL NEWS YOU CAN USE
ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN SEABOARD WITH BIG CITIES like
New York anticipating its fair share of snowflakes this winter, the Big
Apple certainly has come up with a plan on how to have fun during
the frosty season. From January through early February, traditionally
a low season for international visitor arrivals, you’ll find restaurants,
theatres and popular sightseeing venues receiving more attention.
The city’s tourism office is preparing to roll out a crop of special dis-
counted programs. Participating restaurants will be offering prix-fixe
menus with two-course lunches and three-course dinners across all
five boroughs during NYC Restaurant Week. Broadway tickets from
select shows will be available in a fabulous 2-for-1 tickets promo
during NYC Broadway Week. And for sleeps, there are hotel discounts
too. Check out NYC Hotel Week, running from January 2 to February
9, 2025. nyctourism.com/restaurantweek; nyctourism.com/broadway-

MOVE OVER MODERN KINGS AND QUEENS, a new exhibition at
the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec takes visitors
on an epic 6,500-year journey to meet the First Royals of Europe. Learn
how individuals in the ancient societies of southeastern Europe
expanded their power through wealth, trade, ritual, ceremony and
warfare to become the first royals. The more than 700 rare and unique
objects on display, collected from 11 countries, date from 2,500 to
8,000 years old. Marvel at ancient ceramic figurines, copper axe heads,
bronze helmets and iron swords, along with early amber, gold and
glass jewellery. Visitors can learn even more by playing the Metal Mas-
ters trivia game. First Royals of Europe runs until January 19, 2025.
