The Complete Holiday Guide to New York City

Few places in the world are more magical than New York City at Christmas. Think of all the holiday songs that have been written specifically about the Big Apple during the holiday. Many experts would even argue that modern-day Christmas, the way we celebrate today, was born in New York City!

Temperatures dropping, drinking mulled wine or hot apple cider, seeing a giant illuminated tree on every corner, skating amidst the skyscrapers, and sparkling holidays windows are a huge part of why I love NYC. This guide was created with the intent of helping you enjoy the city in December as much as I do! 

This Guide Includes:
-------------------------------------------
🎄The most impressive Christmas Light Displays (with a walking route for each) 
⛸ Top spots for Ice Skating & Hot Chocolate

Radio City Music Hall

🇬🇧
Radio City Music Hall, located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, is a world-renowned entertainment venue and iconic symbol of New York City's cultural heritage. Opened in 1932, the Art Deco masterpiece was designed by architect Edward Durell Stone and interior designer Donald Deskey, and it has since become a beloved destination for audiences of all ages.

With a seating capacity of over 5,900, Radio City Music Hall is one of the largest indoor theaters in the world and has hosted countless legendary performances, including concerts, stage shows, movie premieres, and award ceremonies. Its stage has been graced by some of the biggest names in entertainment, from Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald to the Rockettes and the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra.

In addition to its spectacular live events, Radio City Music Hall is famous for its stunning interior décor, which features luxurious Art Deco design elements such as ornate chandeliers, gilded accents, and intricate murals depicting scenes of music and dance. The venue's iconic marquee, adorned with bright lights and neon signs, is a fixture of the New York City skyline and a symbol of the city's vibrant entertainment scene.

Radio City Music Hall is also home to the world-famous Christmas Spectacular, a holiday tradition featuring the high-kicking Rockettes, dazzling special effects, and beloved Christmas music. The show has been enchanting audiences for generations and has become an integral part of the holiday season in New York City.

Whether you're attending a live performance, taking a guided tour of the venue, or simply admiring its historic façade from the streets of Midtown Manhattan, Radio City Music Hall offers a quintessential New York City experience that captures the magic of live entertainment.

🇩🇪
Die Radio City Music Hall, im Herzen von Midtown Manhattan gelegen, ist eine weltberühmte Unterhaltungsstätte und ein ikonisches Symbol des kulturellen Erbes von New York City. Die 1932 eröffnete Art-Deco-Meisterleistung wurde vom Architekten Edward Durell Stone und dem Innenarchitekten Donald Deskey entworfen und ist seitdem zu einem beliebten Ziel für Zuschauer jeden Alters geworden.

Mit einer Sitzplatzkapazität von über 5.900 ist die Radio City Music Hall eines der größten Theater der Welt und hat unzählige legendäre Aufführungen beherbergt, darunter Konzerte, Bühnenshows, Filmpremieren und Preisverleihungen. Ihre Bühne wurde von einigen der größten Namen des Unterhaltungsbereichs geziert, von Frank Sinatra und Ella Fitzgerald bis hin zu den Rockettes und dem Radio City Music Hall Orchestra.

Neben ihren spektakulären Live-Events ist die Radio City Music Hall berühmt für ihre atemberaubende Innenausstattung, die luxuriöse Art-Deco-Designelemente wie kunstvolle Kronleuchter, vergoldete Akzente und aufwendige Wandmalereien mit Szenen aus Musik und Tanz umfasst. Das markante Vordach der Veranstaltungsortes, geschmückt mit hellen Lichtern und Neon-Schildern, ist ein fester Bestandteil der Skyline von New York City und ein Symbol für die lebendige Unterhaltungsszene der Stadt.

Die Radio City Music Hall ist auch die Heimat des weltberühmten Christmas Spectacular, einer Weihnachtstradition mit den  Rockettes, beeindruckenden Spezialeffekten und beliebten Weihnachtsliedern. Die Show begeistert seit Generationen das Publikum und ist zu einem integralen Bestandteil der Weihnachtszeit in New York City geworden.

Ob Du eine Live-Aufführung besuchen, eine geführte Tour durch den Veranstaltungsort machen oder einfach nur ihre historische Fassade von den Straßen von Midtown Manhattan aus bewundern möchtest, die Radio City Music Hall bietet ein typisches New York City Erlebnis, das die Magie der Live-Unterhaltung einfängt.

This is across the street from Radio City Music Hall: the Red Holiday Ornaments in the fountain! I love this photo opportunity, as Radio City has a Christmas Tree of lights on top. For the true Here Be Barr Fan, order some of New York's Best Halal Food at Adel's right in front of the displays! Extra Credit if you see the Rockettes (Radio City Christmas Spectacular) before or after this. This area has more Holiday Spirit than any in NYC.

Home of the Rockettes! It's closer to Sixth Avenue than Fifth.

The Radio City Rockettes are always magical. I've seen them perform over 20 times, and my heart burst with joy every single show. I dare you not squeal when they do their kicks!

If you're here in the winter, you have to see the iconic Rockettes!
Other times of the year, there are many concerts, so check out the schedule.

🇪🇸 Un punto ideal para unas fotos icónicas de esta gran ciudad!  📸 
🇺🇸 A goof spot for iconic pictures.
