Christmas time in NYC is truly a magical time. Streets are decorated with lights, there are at least a dozen giant Christmas trees around the city, and Christmas markets feature cute little pop-up shops - and not to mention all the delicious foods and drinks.
My first visit to New York City was in December, and the holiday atmosphere throughout the city made me absolutely fall in love with this metropolis. Christmas scenes of the city from movies like When Harry Met Sally, Serendipity, and Elf are very much what you can expect to see.
If this is your first time going to the Big Apple, I highly recommend going in late November or early December to soak in all the holiday magic.
Explore the historic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights and enjoy the multi-million dollar view of Manhattan from across the East River. Then take a stroll along the water and snap a few Instagram photos of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.
Visit the 9/11 Memorial and go to the top of the Freedom Tower. Then spend the afternoon in posh Soho.
Start off your trip with the best of New York City. A fun-filled wintery day in Manhattan includes visiting the Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, Fifth Avenue shopping, and Central Park
