New York at the Holidays
New York is a great city any time of the year, but at the end of the year, during the Holiday season the city really comes to life. The lights are spectacular from Tiffany’s signature white light show flake over 5Th Avenue to the light wrapped columns in the financial district to the colored lights on the sky scrapers the tree in Rockefeller Center the city is ablaze with seasonal lighting. Radio City Music Hall Holiday Spectacular show, opera at the Met and Broadway all on the list for the visitor to do. Staying in a mid town boutique hotels New York will keep you in the center of all the action. The city is easy to get around with a very reliable subway and bus system and an extensive number of cabs some of which is available for uses twenty four hours a day. Heading up town to see the trees at the Met Museum of Art and central park decorated with lights is a pretty place to go at night. Shop windows are alive with animated displays enticing shoppers to come inside. Heading further up town is the Cloisters housing the Unicorn tapestries this is a place to see a mid evil style holiday as the cloisters are built to be reminiscent of the period in which the tapestries were produced. Not super easy to get to due to their northern most situation on the island of Manhattan but worth the extra effort if your so inclined and have the time. The museum of natural history is a fun place to take children the hall of dinosaurs is a favorite for them where giant dinosaur fossils loom high above the visitors. What ever your preferences NY is a great place at the holidays.
