Christmas in the City

Studying for finals can make it hard to get outside and really enjoy Christmas time in the city. As finals come to a close, I am looking forward to the next couple days where I will be doing all the cliché Christmas things the city has to offer.

  Ice Skating in Rockefeller Center
The blisters on your feet from rental skates will be worth it when you’re ice-skating in front of the tree at Rockefeller. Other cool spots to ice skate in the city include Central Park, Bryant Park, and South Street Seaport.
Note: If you bring your own ice skates, it’s free to ice skate at Bryant Park. 

Macy's Window Display
These window displays located on 34th St. are done each year with a different theme. This year’s theme is “Santa’s journey to the Stars.” 

High Line
Bundle up, grab your hot chocolate and take the stroll from 34th St. to 12st on the High Line. The High Line is a revitalized railroad station, and is the perfect walk through the city. If you plan correctly, you may even run into a live concert.

 Rockefeller Center
The tree, you have to see the massive tree. 

 Union Square Holiday Market
This is the perfect time to check out the handcrafted jewelry, artwork, and authentic eats from all parts of the world. My personal favorite is the delicious Wafels & Dinges.
