Christmas

Bryant Park

"Christmas in New York is as multicolored and as whimsical as a July fiesta in Mexico."
Robert L. Wallace, Soul Food

Orgy of Capitalism

Rockefeller Center

"New York is a city that loves Christmas. It's their spiritual holiday—being, as it is, an orgy of capitalism—and they spare no effort or expense getting the city in shape."
Michael Harling, Postcards From Across The Pond

Christmas in New York

Rockefeller Center

"Christmastime in New York City really is magical, especially uptown. The air smells like falling snow and burning logs and Christmas cookies baking. From up in our penthouses, Central Park looks like a silvery wonderland, Park Avenue is a parade of Christmas lights, and the size of the tree in Rockefeller Center seems to promise that this is going to be he most amazing Christmas ever--although most of us will be drinking too much champagne to notice."
Cecily von Ziegesar, All I Want Is Everything 

Christmas Eve in New York

Sixth Avenue

"This was Christmas Eve in New York. This was the city dressed in richest stones and trinkets. This was the city trying to match the gems from her endless treasure chest against the winking and sparking brilliants in Heaven's vault. This was a city bathed in Christmas peace, breathing carols into the night. This was City Magnificent."
Meyer Berger, Meyer Berger's New York
