And what better way to celebrate than with the annual lighting of the Christmas tree at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York!
Here’s how it all went down last night:
It’s a great time of year in the city, as it lights up all over town for the holiday!
Check out this holiday window display at Bergdorf Goodman’s on 5th avenue:

Well there are certainly a lot of courses in this post! The tree lighting looks spectacular.
Tatiana’s looks like an amazing restaurant. There was so much unfamiliar on the menu, I’m sure it was a delight to experience all these unique flavors.
And of course, there are the hotdogs!
I wanted everyone to know you can get an iconic meal in New York without paying astronomical prices – those hot dogs are cheap and great! Thanks for the comment!
Beautiful lights and color in NYC!! And if I ever make it back, I’ll head over to Gray’s Papaya for a delicious hot dog and especially a great papaya drink! Once wasn’t enough. 😉
what a magnificent tree and love the restaurants. i’ve been to gray’s with my brother when he lived there and swore by it and something fascinating about tatiana’s.
Gray’s is iconic and good as well – and so inexpensive!
You are definitely living the best life NYC has to offer, John!
Best wishes, Pete.
Tree looks wonderful and there is some food there for everyone!
