NEW YORK CITY — Ready to feel old? ‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York’, everyone’s favourite holiday flick, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. In the words of Kevin McCallister, “Aaaaggghhhh!”
A quarter of a century after a mini Macaulay Culkin evaded the Sticky Bandits in the Big Apple, the iconic hotel that served as the backdrop for the iconic movie is offering a commemorative anniversary package that will make visitors feel like kids again.
The ‘HOME ALONE 2 Anniversary Room Package at The Plaza New York, priced from US$895, includes an interactive photo experience, a paint can with all five ‘Home Alone’ DVDs, an anniversary backpack and, the pièce de résistance, an over-the-top ice cream sundae in-room, just like the one Kevin had in the movie.
Guests can enhance the package by adding express passes to the top of the Empire State Building, access to Wollman Rink, a four-hour limousine tour through New York City during which they can use their Home Alone Map to follow in Kevin’s footsteps, and a personalized vacation photographer.
The anniversary package is available from Dec. 1, 2017 to Oct. 29, 2018.
Moreover, the hotel is offering all movie fans – not just hotel guests – to ‘Live Like Kevin’. In room and throughout the property, guests are invited to dine in the Todd English Food Hall to taste-test a 90s-inspired menu featuring upscale versions of childhood favourites. The interactive photo experience, which includes photo opps with the Sticky Bandits, is open to the public as well.
