Christmas in NYC?

DH have booked our trip to NYC for Christmas!  We're arriving at noon on the 23rd and leaving around 2:00pm on the 26th.  

We plan to go see the Rockettes on Christmas Day and will make reservations for Christmas dinner once the restaurants start accepting them/publishing their menus.Any restaurant suggestions?  We like good food and don't mind paying for it. 

We also plan to go to the Empire State Building (it's the one place on our list we haven't seen yet).  

There are a few outdoor Christmas markets we'll check out as well.

And, of course, we'll wander around and see the lights and decor at Macy's, Rockefeller, Central Park, etc.

Am I missing any "must do" activities during Christmas in NYC?

Re: Christmas in NYC?

  • Sounds like you've got it all covered! Checking our Rockefeller and the Macy's windows were highlights when we went up for the day a few years ago. It was a great day.

    No recommendations on where to eat. Sorry! Have a great trip, though! It sounds like you'll have a lot of fun!

  • We've gone for a few days for the past couple of Decembers. The in-laws have a time share in the city.

    Checking out all the window/building decorations is a definite. We also like to spend some time at Bryant Park. There's a skating rink there, a little market (with some delicious foods too) and a cute little cafe/bar set up with delightful wintery drinks.

    Where are you staying?

    I'll come back with foods suggestions :)

    We've narrowed it down to a couple places.  I'd like to be near Central Park or in the Grand Central Terminal area.  I do not want to be anywhere near Times Square.  We stayed in Chelsea last time, but thought it would be nice to try something different.

    I also need to get to know your inlaws. ;)

  • I hope you have a great trip! We did the Empire State Building when we were there last summer and I highly recommend good shoes that day and possibly hiding snacks in your bag. We were in line for 2 hours. But the view was amazing! Also mind you it was summer and we wanted to see it at night so we probably waited longer for those two reasons.

    We didn't have the best anniversary dinner and I can't even remember the name of the restaurant so I can't help in that aspect.
  • the windows down 5th ave are all done up really great! Tiffany's, Saks, etc...

    I usually recommend Ellen's Stardust Diner as a place to eat, but it's 51st & Broadway which is definitely Times Sq so you may want to avoid it. I love it because it has singing waitstaff and is classic diner food which generally means anyone you are with can find something they like there. The  food is great, the prices are reasonable and the experience is fantastic!  (definitely crowded in there tho) 

    If you like Japanese food, there is a place called Ten Zan on Columbus between 73rd &74th. Kind of a hole in the wall place but cute atmosphere upstairs and amazing sushi.

  • YES to the stardust diner. ♡♡♡
