This year I decided to make the trip to New York City to see the "Tree," at Rockefeller Plaza, between Wet 48th and West 51st Streets, and Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Of course on the way we passed Macy*s department store at Herald Square, and their wonderful windows on 151 West 34th Street.
Their windows are always magical.
This window showed a model of the Thanksgiving Parade!
Where do they store these huge decorations?
The Christmas balls here were giant!
In the neighborhood is the NBC studios.
We grew up watching SNL
So glad that Jimmy Fallon brought the Tonight show back to NYC.

These Salvation Army volunteers were really rocking the day away for their charity.

Lego Store
Glittering twinkle lights on the trees.
This wreath was stunning
All of the birds in these windows at Anthropology in the Plaza were created with papers and fabric
These "green" windows were by far the most interesting to be seen.
Adorable green birds handcrafted with recycled materials
The Great Blue Heron was amazing

Back to Penn Station
A great view of the Empire State Building
This was a display inside the Amtrak level at the station. A great day and an easy trip from Long Island using the LIRR and the Subways.
Fabulous photos. Thanks for sharing your trip. Christmas in New York is something I've often seen depicted in movies and such, so it's terrific to see your experience as well. It's on my must-do-one-day list.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the Macy's photos, all I could think of was the movie Elf! It looks like you had a great day.
