Rockefeller Center

In the big apple, Christmas begins with the lighting of the Rockefeller tree and ends when the ball drops on New Years Eve. It’s a great time to be in the city from the buildings decked with lights and stores coming out with elaborate displays and sidewalk corners crammed with people.Here are the best spots to enjoy the holidays in the city.
Best Holiday Windows:
Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Macys and Tiffany's all try to compete for the largest crowds to gawk over the window displays. Our favorite window has to be Cartier which has the entire block lit up with lights and holiday melodies playing for shoppers walking by its creative window.
Best Tourist Spots:
Take a carriage ride through Central Park or walk over to Rockefeller Center, which is worth fighting the large crowds to get a glimpse of the Christmas tree. Make sure to check out the Empire state building, which lights up with festive colors.

The holidays is the best time to be in the Big Apple. Last night was the 75th anniversary of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Stars such as Ashley Tisdale, Nick Lachey and Carrie Underwood came out to see the 30,000 energy efficient lights that brightened the tree.
The Rockettes also took the stage and proved that after three quarters of a century they are still kicking. You can find these girls at the Radio City Music Hall performing 4 shows a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In celebration of 75 years, the girls are spicing things up with new costumes and “Spectacular” steps. Now that will keep anyone in the city warm for the holidays.
