Holiday Season Is Upon UsAri Kellen

Holidays are

here!

Holiday time is here in New York City and yours

truly, Ari Kellen is home for the holidays having

just finished finals. I got a chance to visit the

Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center as well as

the one at Bryant Park and it was just as

magical as it was last year. The Rockefeller tree

is easily the most visited in the city, it attracts

millions each year to take pictures, ice skate

below it, and to share in the holiday spirit no

matter religious denomination.

What is there to do?

• Besides the tree, here are some other

activities to explore in the greatest city in

the world during the holiday season.

• Holiday market at Chelsea Market and

Bryant Park:

• Its chilly outside but Bryant Park fills you

with holiday warmth and it offers great

opportunities to pick up some straggling

holiday gifts at their outdoor market.

Remember, theres great hot chocolate and

coffee there too! Chelsea Market offers the

popup holiday sale inside for those less

inclined to brave the elements this

December. Both of these markets will

remain open until December 24, 2014

Macy's

• Macy’s Holiday Windows:

• An amazing light show will be

projected onto the Broadway

side of the super-department

store from December 10th to

31st to keep boyfriends

attentions while their ladies

shop till they drop inside.

Prospect Park on NYE

• Prospect Park Fireworks:

• On New Years Eve if you are

looking for a reprieve from the

drinking festivities, talk a walk

down to Prospect Park for

fireworks. They will be serving

hot beverages and have live

music all night in nearby Grand

Army Plaza.

Christmas and Cannolis

• Christmas Lights and Cannoli Tour:

• My personal favorite is the Xmas

lights and cannolis that takes place

one of the tourist busses. It runs

through Brooklyn, NY and bring the

patrons on a tour that takes them

by the most decorated

neighborhoods in the city. The

Brooklynites show off their lighting

prowess and stops at Bella Luna

Pizza for hot chocolate and

cannolis to cap the night off.
