Now that the location to FaberryCon North has been announced, I can talk about something else that’s in the works.
In addition to the regular con programming, we will be having a day of sightseeing on the Thursday before. This will be unlike any other New York City tour, however. We will be cruising some of the major NYC landmarks and photo ops, for sure, but this will also be a tour of standout locations from Faberry fic.
There will be a map. There will be a digital version of the map. There will be me, in a yellow hat. There will be a level of organization and professionalism that rivals Rachel Berry’s. There may even be Bedazzling.
So, what I need from you, lovers, is some input on the places you’d like to see. Even if you’re not sure if you’re heading to the con (which you should, because YOU SHOULD), there will be a home version we’re hoping to make available to supporting members.
Keep in mind the tour will be limited to Manhattan itself and the bulk of it will probably be in the midtown area, just because I know most folks aren’t used to walking half the island. It will ideally be broken into block of time, so once we hit a certain area, there will be time for a little wandering around and checking things out.
Reply here with ideas of fic locations so we can start brainstorming the places to go and see! If possible, maybe include a link or excerpt from the story location you're thinking of so I can get the best idea of where it is.

To add to the Central Park fic locations, Rachel took Quinn to the Central Park Zoo for a date in "Just Off the Key of Reason."

Okay, so I'm like 99% sure this place isn't in a Faberry fic, but I mean. It's literally called "Big Gay Ice Cream." How can we not at least consider this. biggayicecream.com/

Hey I know there is no full schedule for the NYC excursion yet, but I was wondering if you think there will be time to see a show that evening? I know Heathers the Musical is playing and I must see it! I only go to that area every 6 months or show so i figured I'd capitalize on the proximity. I'm also not sure how late the trains run or anything so I'm just checking to see what you think
Thanks
Kendra

Yes! We will be wrapping up the tour by 6pm, so there will certainly be time to catch any 8pm shows.

Awesome! One more question, I'm coming down from Boston to New Jersey that morning and I'll get to the hotel around like 1045/11, is that too late to get in on the New York trip? since it is ending at six I wasn't sure what time we're going into the city

Our plan is to catch the NJT train to the city around noon, so you'll have time to catch up with us. I purposely pushed the start time to 12pm so that we could allow as many people who are coming in that morning to join us.
So it's plotted out to be a six hour tour, but that's with a lot of time to stop and look at stuff, including a full afternoon meal break.
