Manhattan is filled with special places to celebrate the holiday season. Hudson Yards is known for it's lights, Bryant Park is known for the Winter Village, Grand Central can take you to the cutest holiday Hallmark towns, and Columbus Circle wows with it's light show.
Best holiday magic in NYC #9: Hudson Yards
With over 2 million lights and a series of floating trees and hot air balloons, Hudson Yards is one of the most Intagramable Christmas sights in Manhattan.
Best holiday magic in NYC #10: Columbus Circle
Shop at the Mall, enjoy dinner at Blue Bird London, and watch the stars change colors as you gaze out over Columbus Circle. Browse local vendors at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market.
Another pretty spectacular holiday display is located at the Nordstrom at Broadway and 57th. I love to see a tree in the window of every department on every floor. The street is instantly more cheerful if you just look up!
Best holiday magic in NYC #11: Grand Central (and a trip up the Hudson)
I recommend all the cute little Hudson River towns for the holiday (this year I spent a December Saturday in Cold Spring) but Grand Central is more than just a pass through on your way somewhere new. The decor in the great hall is magnificent and the holiday vendor fair provides another market to shop local NYC shops.
Best holiday magic in NYC #12: Bryant Park & the NYPL
One of the most popular Christmas markets in the city, the Bryant Park Winter Village has a giant tree, an ice rink, plenty of shopping in adorable glass huts, and an indoor, heated restaurant area, complete with gourmet hot chocolate, boozy drinks, and tasty treats from all over the globe.
Don't leave Bryant Park without a stop at the New York Public Library. Gorgeous inside but just as festive outside with Patience and Fortitude all decked out for the holidays.
Speaking of patience, you've seen some of my favorite neighborhoods to celebrate the holidays, but next up, the main event; the most Christmas of all Christmas neighborhoods, Midtown Manhattan.
