New York City in December

[fins2]

What are your must do things in NYC around Christmas time? I've been a couple of times and done the big hitters but have never been around Christmas time so happy to redo things we've done if they're more special in December!

How lovely! Definitely ice skating at Rockefeller under the Christmas tree and perhaps see Elf the Musical on Broadway.

Ice skating - The Rockefeller centre is so iconic, 100% worth it. There is also a rink in Central Park which is pretty magical.

Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall - it’s so over the top but just amazing energy

Thanks both, have booked the Rockette show and will look at ice skating.

Ooh following!! We are off to NYC this December too, a lifelong bucket list wish of mine. Sooo excited!

This! The details for this year are not up yet so keep an eye out. It's fun! Like not oh my god unreal amazing best thing you've ever done in your life, but interesting, quirky.

Also we enjoyed the market at Columbus Circle the most, though it was 6 years ago. Found the others too crowded.

Take the Radio City Stage Door tour before you see the show. You'll see everything backstage and get to chat with a Rockette. The costume rooms and memorabilia are great fun.

The restaurant is lovely, the food is fabulous, and it's a nice neighborhood in Midtown.

Book everything now! Went last December and it was sooooooo busy ! Watched the ice skating at the Rockefeller centre, was heaving. Had booked a show prior to going, otherwise you’d not have got in to seeing anything. Did the Statue of Liberty and the 911 tour. Only did 4 nights there though and it was really cold, thermals were required!
