A storied New York property is now offering fans of an iconic Christmas comedy the opportunity to live the motion picture’s plot in real time. 

“Get lost in New York, Kevin McCallister-style,” begins a post by Fairmont , which manages Manhattan’s landmark Plaza Hotel, about a new experience based on the hit 1992 flick “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.”

The itinerary is based on the shenanigans that protagonist Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) gets up to in the film. It begins with a four-hour private limousine ride around the city to visit the movie’s famous filming locations, including the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Carnegie Hall, and Radio City Music Hall.

The limo ride, the fine print notes, is “not a guided tour.”

As well, the “limo color may vary,” but the offer does promise that riders will be provided with their “very own delicious hot cheese pizza,” so as to make their reliving of Kevin’s famous limo pizza scene more historically accurate.

“After you’ve visited all the sightseeing locales Kevin saw, and returned to your room with ‘one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key,’ make yourself cozy in your ‘extra large bed,’ Kevin-style, and call down for your over-the-top ice cream sundae delivered right to your bed,” the offer continues, quoting Kevin.

Guests must book the package — which is available year-round — directly with the Plaza, and a minimum of three days before checking in. 

The price of the experience comes in addition to the price of lodgings and starts at $3,195, with rates varying depending on room type, according to a statement provided to The Post. Room rates range from slightly under $1,000 to over $32,000 for a 2,500-square-foot, two-bedroom grand penthouse suite with a terrace.

In addition to featuring significantly in “Home Alone 2,” the Plaza is also a beloved architectural marvel, completed in the early 20th century and designed to look like a chateau from the French Renaissance.

The Plaza Hotel is offering a ‘Home Alone 2’ package to run around NYC like Kevin McCallister

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!

If you've always dreamed of channeling your inner Kevin McCallister and running around New York City as only the iconic "Home Alone" character could, the Plaza Hotel is making your Christmas wish come true.

The famous hotel is offering a "Home Alone 2: Fun in New York" package for fans of the classic Christmas sequel, and this could be your chance to rack up a $967 room service bill while eating all the ice cream you can imagine and watching rubbish in the comfort of the beloved NYC hotspot.

Here's everything you need to know about the festive promotion.

What does the 'Home Alone' package include?

Staying at the Plaza Hotel without recreating some popular "Home Alone" moments? That's something only les incompétents would dream of doing.

In addition to a spacious room (complete with an "extra large bed" and "one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key"), the hotel package features the following elements:

• Four-hour private limousine ride around NYC: You'll drive by several "Home Alone 2" filming locations like Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, Central Park, Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall. Heads up, it's not a guided tour.
• Large cheese pizza: A lovely cheese pizza just for you? You bet! While you're riding around town taking in the sights, you'll be treated to one of Kevin's favorite meals: a cheese pizza.
• "Home Alone" sundae: Ice cream in bed? Why not! You're not driving. Just make sure to bring your appetite because the "Home Alone" sundae features 16 scoops of ice cream (various flavors), brownie bits, whipped cream, M&M's, maraschino cherries and the following sauces: chocolate, caramel and raspberry.

How much does the 'Home Alone' package cost?

You can choose from multiple room types, so rates vary. But the package is offered all year long, so if it sells out for the holidays (and we're pretty sure it will), there's still time to live out your "Home Alone" dreams later in the year.

Ready to book your stay? Here's the fine print:

• You have to book the package at least three days before you check in.
• You can only book the package directly with the Plaza (and not through third party site reservations).
• The package is valid for new bookings only, isn't applicable to group bookings and can't be combined with other offers.
• Blackout dates could apply.

Macaulay Culkin recently reunited with his ‘Home Alone’ mom Catherine O’Hara

"Home Alone" plays on repeat in homes across the country this time of year, and two stars of the film recently made headlines for their timely reunion.

Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin in the first two "Home Alone" films, reunited with his on-screen mom , Catherine O'Hara, at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Dec. 1.

“Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion,” O’Hara said during her speech at the ceremony. “I’m so proud of you.”

While talking about Culkin, O'Hara also commented on his work ethic as a child.

“I know you worked really hard. I know you did,” she said. “But you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do. It really was as if we had ambushed the home of this real little boy named Kevin to make a movie and he just went along with it for the fun of it. It’s the dearest thing.”

Maximum Film/Alamy

More than 30 years after the original Home Alone movie first premiered in 1990, Culkin, 43, was finally honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month. At the ceremony on Dec. 1, the former child actor enjoyed an emotional reunion with his onscreen mom, Catherine O'Hara , who gave a touching speech on his behalf.

" Home Alone  was, is and always will be a beloved global sensation ... the reason families all over the world can't let a year go by without watching and loving  Home Alone  together is because of Macaulay Culkin," O'Hara, 69, told the audience, praising a then-10-year-old Culkin's breakout performance.

" I know you worked really hard, I know you did, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do," she told Culkin.

O'Hara concluded her heartfelt speech, "Macaulay, congratulations. You so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I'm so proud of you."

The pair then shared a hug, and Culkin could be seen wiping away tears before he took to the podium himself.

"Thanks for all your kind words and your stories and stuff. You know, you made my kids' dad, their papa, look good," the My Girl star in his speech, referring to the two sons he shares with fiancée Brenda Song . "And the most important thing to me is also that their papa understands that he wasn't always a papa; he used to be a kid too, you know?"

He concluded with a lighthearted callback to one of his iconic lines of dialogue from the movie: "To wrap things up, and in the spirit of the holiday season, I just wanna say, 'Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.' "

HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NY FILMING LOCATIONS

In a dash through the airport, Kevin finds himself separated from his family during the holiday season! Not to worry because he’s got the AMEX and he’s ready to make New York’s most famous sites his playground. But robbers Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci & Daniel Stern) are at it again, determined to thwart Christmas and Kevin’s fun. See sites from Home Alone 2 on the NYC TV & Movie Tour , the Holiday Lights & Movie Sites Tour , and the Central Park TV & Movie Sites Walking Tour .

NYC Filming Locations in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

The Plaza Hotel: Kevin’s first stop on his New York adventure is the famous Plaza Hotel. The only hotel Kevin knows the name of is one of the cities most recognizable landmarks, and also one of the most expensive. What’s bad for dad’s credit is good for Kevin though, who quickly adapts to the “suite life” (Get it!?). The Plaza has been featured in many other movies including Barefoot in the Park, Big Business, Almost Famous, American Hustle. Located across from Central Park and Grand Army Plaza this is the perfect spot for their troubles to ensue!

FAO Schwarz : Lucky for Kevin Duncan’s Toy Chest, based on the famous toy store featured in Home Alone 2  FAO Schwarz (now closed), was just across Fifth Avenue from The Plaza. This was the oldest toy store in America and this larger-than-life shop certainly upheld its reputation. Many celebrities, including Katie Holmes, Cindy Crawford and Angelina Jolie, shopped there to enjoy the finest toys in town. But in Home Alone 2 , “Duncan’s” is under threat from Marv and Harry. They hatch an evil plan to rob the store on Christmas Eve, and it’s up to Kevin to stop them.

Rockefeller Center : It wouldn’t be Christmas in New York without the infamous decorations and magnificent Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. In this Christmas wonderland, Kevin is reunited with his mother after thwarting Harry and Marv’s plan. The underground concourse features retail shops, great food, and an ice rink.

Central Park

Never let the cold, (or heat) discourage you from enjoying Central Park the way Kevin does. Like all New Yorkers Kevin needs his R & R and escapes to the largest oasis of nature in Manhattan. Full of interesting folks to have a chat with, it doesn’t take Kevin long to befriend a pigeon lady. Lucky for Kev she knows her way around and takes him to see a show atop Lincoln Center. Meanwhile across the park at Wollman Ice Skating Rink Marv steals a scarf and Harry plots their next crime.

Empire Diner: Only in New York, and possibly the circus, does Santa walk down the street on stilts. It’s down here on 10th Ave and West 22nd St in front of the Empire Diner where Mr. McCallister meets Mr. Claus. This famous diner would look familiar to any movie buff, as it’s also been featured in Men In Black II ,  Manhattan , and TV shows such as Rescue Me , and  Law and Order .

Battery Park

Located at the southern tip of Manhattan Island this land was previously a fortress for protecting the city. Luckily in Home Alone 2 New Yorkers can rely on Kevin McAllister to thwart those looking to do harm. It’s down here that Kev looks out at Lady Liberty and soaks in the awesomeness of his city adventure.

The definitive guide to ‘Home Alone 2’ filming locations in NYC

The Christmas classic was filmed all over Manhattan

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is one of those sequels that very well might live up to, or even surpass, its progenitor. Why? Instead of taking place in the suburbs of Chicago , the beloved 1992 classic is a romp around the holiday season's most festive city: New York.

In the John Hughes-Chris Columbus collaboration, Macaulay Culkin returns as maligned youngest child Kevin McCallister, separated from his family once again during what's supposed to be the happiest time of the year. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are back as bad guys Harry and Marv, recently escaped from prison and out to steal some cash from a toy store on Christmas—before they run into Kevin in the Big Apple and decide to seek revenge from the precocious kid's prior-year high jinks instead.

From the Plaza and Central Park to the World Trade Center and an under-renovation townhouse, what follows is the ultimate geographic guide to where Home Alone 2 is set across New York City. And hey: Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

This map was originally published in 2014; it has been updated with the latest information.

LaGuardia Airport

Our first glimpse of New York City is through the window of LaGuardia Airport. Kevin gets separated from his family at O'Hare, digging through his dad's carry-on for batteries. (Those were for his super-blocky Talkboy tape recorder.) When he looks up, he'd lost them, and follows another man in a tan coat onto a plane bound for LGA rather than MIA. Kevin asks an airport staffer, "This is an emergency. What city is that over there?" The answer: "That's New York, sir." Kevin: "Yikes, I did it again."

• Open in Google Maps

Pepsi-Cola Sign

At the airport, Kevin looks out at Long Island City's Pepsi-Cola sign and the East River skyline, and the screen flashes to and from various cityscape shots. We get a sense of the enormity of the place and the tiny-ness of this child. At first, Kevin says nervously, "Oh no, my family's in Florida and I'm in New York." Then he smiles. "My family's in Florida. I'm in New York." Eyebrow raise. It's go time.

Queensboro Bridge

Kevin still has his dad's carry-on, and in it, a credit card and an envelope of cash. Obviously, that means a yellow cab into the city, via the Queensboro Bridge. Grinning, Kevin leans out the rear window in his striped winter hat, and you get the feeling that his Ferris Bueller's Day Off is about to begin.

Radio City Music Hall

In addition to his recorder, Kevin also has a Polaroid camera. First things first: he hits up the sights. Back in the suburbs of Chicago, remember, he said: "Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate anyway? … If I had my own money, I'd go on my own vacation. Alone, without any of you guys. And I'd have the most fun of my whole life." Up first, Radio City Music Hall.

Empire Diner

Somehow, Kevin moseys by the Empire Diner in Chelsea—which is  still around , 25 years later—and picks up a flier from a Santa on stilts.

Diners We Adore in NYC

Quong Yuen Shing & Co.

At this store on Mott Street in Chinatown (which  is now closed ), Kevin picks up two packs of firecrackers. Pro tip: when unexpectedly left unsupervised, it's a great idea to buy something explosive.

Battery Park

Then it's down to Battery Park, where Kevin gazes out at the harbor through those old-school binoculars.

Statue of Liberty

Naturally, he sees Lady Liberty through those lenses. Super symbolic, because you see, he is free of his family. Not  lost  in New York, but independent and having a grand old time.

World Trade Center

Kevin marches up the steps to the old World Trade Center complex, nine years before it would be no more. He goes to the observation deck of the south tower and photographs the vistas from it. You get the sense, again, that this is a smart-yet-naive Midwestern kid having a fun day out but at the same time getting a little bit awed by the big city even from so many stories up.

Fulton Fish Market

At the Miami airport, security tells Kevin's parents it's unlikely he'll be anywhere but still stuck in Chicago. The camera pans to the South Street Seaport's erstwhile Fulton Fish Market (which  moved to Hunts Point in 2005 ). A backpack-toting Kevin crosses the street; meanwhile a white truck makes a turn, honks at him, and rolls up the back to reveal Harry and Marv. They're recently out of prison and stowing away with a shipment of seafood on ice.

57 Street Subway Station

Harry and Marv evade the dead fish and find their way to Midtown via the N/Q subway line, discussing their plan to get some cash in order to procure fake passports and flee to South America. Marv supports changing their nickname from the Wet Bandits (so called because they used to leave the water on in houses they robbed) to the Sticky Bandits. He plunges a tape-covered hand into a streetside Salvation Army bucket. Counters Harry: "You bust out of jail to rob 14 cents from a Santy Claus?"

Central Park

Kevin meets  the Pigeon Lady  the first time he steps foot in the park, but many crucial moments take place here, most either down near Wollman Rink and Central Park South, or up by the Upper West Side and the 96th Street Transverse. During his first visit, though, he encounters the Pigeon Lady and bolts.

Grand Army Plaza

Kevin is coming from the park, headed to his accommodation for the night. The statue at Grand Army Plaza points the way across the street to the hotel. Crossing the busy intersection here, at 59th Street, is where Marv and Harry first (literally) bump into Kevin.

Before leaving Chicago, Kevin had heard a commercial touting "the world-renowned Plaza Hotel, New York's most exciting hotel experience." Naturally, he heads there, with his dad's credit card in hand. With some conniving he's able to get a sweet suite (No. 411, for anyone keeping track). The kid gets a giant bed and bathroom, orders an ice cream sundae bar via room service, and does cannonballs into the hotel pool, all while trying to convince hotel staff that his dad is actually with him. It's in the suite where he watches  a parody of the James Cagney/Humphrey Bogart movie Angels With Dirty Faces,  in which this signature line appears: "Merry Christmas, you filthy animal. And a Happy New Year."

Wollman Rink

Harry and Marv are by Wollman Rink, at the southern end of Central Park. Marv is skating (and falling) while Harry is reading the paper and plotting how to get some cash. During the holidays, Harry says, "the only stores that are going to have cash on hand are those that deal in moderate priced goods." He points to a full-page ad for Duncan's Toy Chest. "There's nobody dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve," Harry jibes. Marv answers, "Oh, yes there is," and gestures to both of them.

Duncan’s Toy Chest

As soon as Kevin's settled, he finagles a limousine with a side of hot cheese pizza, calling the driver from the backseat to inquire about a good toy store. He ends up at Duncan's Toy Chest, the kiddie wonderland that's decorated to the nines for Christmas and sports a kindly gray-haired owner. In real life, Duncan's is meant to be FAO Schwarz. (Though since FAO is across the street from the Plaza, he could have just walked; also,  the actual building with this facade is in Chicago , so the geography is all messed up.) Kevin purchases a map of New York, green slime goo, and a Swiss Army knife. It all cost $23.75. Harry and Marv are also inside the store, scoping out their hiding places inside playhouses advance of the Christmas Eve heist. They see Kevin outside and recognize his backpack. A chase begins!

Van Cleef & Arpels

Kevin springs by the Van Cleef and Arpels store on Fifth Avenue, and hurriedly stops to buy a few necklaces off a street vendor. He rips them apart, so Harry and Marv trip on the beads.

Bethesda Fountain

Kevin tries to escape to the Plaza, but the staff has caught on that the credit card he used to pay for the room was stolen and want to kick him out. Harry and Marv are waiting by the loading dock when Kevin flees the hotel. Marv lets their plan about the toy store and South America slip. After Kevin wriggles away from the Wet Bandits, the duo chases Kevin to  Bethesda Fountain in Central Park —a long way to run, mind you. When they lose him, Marv reassures Harry: "This time, he doesn't have a house full of dangerous goodies to get us with. He's in the park. He's alone. Kids are scared of the park." (Remember, it was the ’90s.) Harry responds: "Yeah, grown men come into the park and don't leave alive. Good luck, little fella."

Carnegie Hall

The Pigeon Lady (we never do learn her real name) takes Kevin to some secret rooftop spot at Carnegie Hall, full of disused instruments, mannequins, and old chandeliers, and they hear a rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful." The two of them bond over being invisible to the world; her because she's homeless, and him because he is the youngest. She reminds him that good deeds can replace bad ones, and that he can make up for running away but, basically, saving the day.

St. Anne's Hospital for Children

Kevin stops by the fictional St. Anne's Hospital for Children, the charity to which all of Duncan's Toy Chest's proceeds from Christmas Eve day go. (The facade is an actual building in Harlem.) Kevin is empowered and emboldened: "You can mess with a lot of things, but you can't mess with kids on Christmas."

Rob McAllister’s House

Kevin's uncle Rob and aunt Georgette have a townhouse on 95th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. He finds the address in his dad's contacts, which were in the backpack, but after seeking refuge there earlier, realizes that no one is home and the house is undergoing a gut renovation. This brownstone is where Kevin leads Harry and Marv the night of the toy store robbery in order to test the limits of physical comedy for a PG movie by enacting all kinds of bodily harm upon the hapless villains.

“In the park”

Kevin makes a 911 call from an Upper West Side phone booth and tells the dispatcher that the thieves who robbed Duncan's Toy Chest will be in the park at 95th Street. "Look for fireworks. They've got a gun." Then he slips on ice, and the dastardly duo walks him into the park. Ultimately, the Pigeon Lady throws feed onto the very sticky Sticky Bandits, swarms of pigeons peck away, and Kevin is able to set off fireworks to alert the police to their presence. In the bag of stolen money, he leaves Polaroids of the guys at the toy store as well as the tape recording of Marv explaining the plan. The money is delivered to the hospital as intended, and Mr. Duncan finds out Kevin was responsible.

Times Square

By this point, all the McAllisters are in New York. The Plaza feels so guilty that its staffers scared Kevin off because of the credit card fraud that they give the family a free penthouse suite (No. 1765). Kevin's mom, played by Catherine O'Hara, hopped a taxi to Times Square after first checking the uncle's house, right before Kevin arrived to give the Sticky Bandits what for. Mom says to strangers, "I'm looking for my son," showing photos of him and knocking on the door of a police car. The officer advises: "Put yourself in your kids' shoes. Where would you go? What would you do?" Kate says: "Dear God, I know where he is. I need to get to Rockefeller Center." The NYPD officer: "Hop in."

The best public art in NYC

Rockefeller Center

After emerging victorious over Marv and Harry, Kevin heads to the iconic giant tree. Then he talks to it: "I know I don't deserve a Christmas, even though I did a good deed. I don't want any presents. Instead I want to take back every mean thing I ever said to my family. ... Could I just see my mother? I just want my mother." And then, because of the magic of movies, his mom shows up. "Kevin!" she cries. Kevin mutters, "Wow, that worked fast. … How did you know I was here?" Mrs. McA: "Well, I know you and Christmas trees, and this was the biggest one around." They return to the Plaza. It starts to snow. Meanwhile, trucks unload dozens of toys as tokens of thanks from Duncan's Toy Chest, and Kevin gives a turtle dove ornament to the Pigeon Lady as a sign of eternal friendship. Then his dad bellows something about a $967.43 room service bill. ( Dads. ) That  familiar, heart-wrenching refrain  that's part of the score—"Somewhere In My Memory—starts to play. As Kevin says, "Don't you know a kid always wins against two idiots?"

Lenin’s Rolls Royce Silver Ghost

Vladimir lenin, the leader of the russian revolution loved big, fancy, expensive, foreign cars, vladimir lenin, the leader of the bolsheviks and champion of the working class did harbour some upper class traits which are not common knowledge, and one of those was a liking for big expensive cars – and houses. , there are many stories about the number that he possessed during his short time as leader, but it appears that he did own a number of american buicks, as well as at least three rolls royces so how did he come to acquire them, the first vehicles came into the hands of bolsheviks after confiscating the property of the romanov family. along came 40 vehicles, including luxury cars, some of which  were appropriated by lenin for his own personal use., he then began to  enjoy the good life just like the tsars as illustrated by this photo taken at the may day red army parade in moscow 1918, in late 1918 lenin was shot twice in an assassination attempt, and in the next few years he developed a number of serious health issues which meant that he spent less and less time in moscow at the heart of the new communist government. from 1920 he spent much of his time at his gorki mansion just outside moscow – another acquisition from the russian nobility, lenin’s unique roll’s-royce silver ghost was actually purchased on 11 july 1922 from london. it cost  £1,850, acquired for a 15 % discount as a side deal of a secret bomber planes engines deal that the young russian government had with rolls-royce. that fact alone is amazing revolutions come and go, but business continues as normal., once the car was purchased, lenin then set  about having it modified for use in the harsh russian winters, and he turned to adolphe kegresse, tsar nicholas ii’s personal driver. kegresse was a brilliant french military engineer and inventor of the half-track and dual clutch transmissions., russian workers manufactured the newly designed caterpillar tracks and skis and attached them to the car, which lenin used to travel to and from the moscow kremlin from his gorki mansion. and kegresse became lenin’s driver. truth is stranger than fiction, today lenin’s rolls royce silver ghost is housed at the gorki mansion which is a museum of lenin’s many interesting possessions. it can be visited on a tour entitled russian highlights which is offered by the russian travel centre, sydney. or if you book your moscow stopover with them, they can arrange a personal tour from moscow to gorki with your own driver and guide – and it won’t cost a fortune. contact [email protected]. , want to keep up to date with all the information and blogs that i have posted each month want to make sure you don’t miss out on any important travel information want to hear/see me unravel travel for you, then sign up for my free monthly newsletter. no waffle, no hard sell – just short and sweet and to the point  look to the bottom of the page for the sign-up form. sign up now and your details are totally confidential., leave a reply, leave a reply cancel reply.
