5. Washington Square Park
What can be even more iconic than the Wahington Square Arc, than a picture with the arc and a gorgeous, gigantic Christmas tree, full of shining lights! You can catch the official lighting of the tree on December 5th, or catch one of the other lighting ceremonies such as the one of Brooklyn’s Largest Menorah. They organize events for everyone and it is always a great deal of fun as there is live music and a wonderful holiday spirit!
Either way, you should keep an eye on their website as they have a comprehensive schedule that will explain everything you need to know about these events!
6. The Peninsula Hotel
The Peninsula Hotels is always beautifully decorated and not just on the outside. They always have amazing Christmas trees that are decked in gold ribbons and ornaments, as well as giant decorations such as nutcrackers guarding the majestic spruce trees! If you happen to be around 700 5th Avenue the hotels are a sight to see and we can all do with more amazing sights to get us into the Christmas spirit.
