The story
Instead of flying to Florida with his folks, Kevin ends up alone in New York, where he gets a hotel room with his dad's credit card—despite problems from a clerk and meddling bellboy. But when Kevin runs into his old nemeses, the Wet Bandits, he's determined to foil their plans to rob a toy store on Christmas Eve.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York recap
A year later, the McCallisters fly to Florida for Christmas, and in the airport rush Kevin follows a man in the same coat as his father onto a plane to New York. With his father's bag and credit card, he checks into the Plaza Hotel, where the concierge Mr. Hector grows suspicious. Kevin tours the city, visits a toy store owned by the kind Mr. Duncan, who is giving the day's takings to a children's hospital, and meets a lonely pigeon lady in Central Park. Harry and Marv, escaped from prison, are in New York too and plan to rob Duncan's toy store on Christmas Eve. When the hotel learns the card is stolen, Kevin flees, runs into Harry and Marv, and escapes. He sets up traps in his uncle's house, which is empty for renovation.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York ending explained
Kevin lures Harry and Marv into the house, where bricks, a staple gun and a toilet full of kerosene await them. They chase him into Central Park, where the pigeon lady covers them in birds, and the police arrest them. His mother finds him at the Rockefeller Center tree, and Kevin gives the pigeon lady one of a pair of turtle doves. On Christmas morning, Mr. Duncan sends a truckload of presents, and the family discovers Kevin's room service bill.
