New York

Its the most wonderful time of the year!

Winter in New York is long and hard, but Christmas in the city makes up for it. Fairy lights covering the bare trees, the grand decorations on sixth avenue; the beautifully adorned Christmas trees; the smoky chestnuts sold on fifth avenue; the street musicians giving their own renditions of the popular Christmas songs; the snow covered Central Park; very creative decorations in the shops; tourists (lots and lots of them) happy and cheerful and trying to get the “picture with the tree”  at Rockefeller Center; the wonderful Christmas spectacular at Radio city that makes you want to be a child again; truly divine peppermint hot chocolate in Starbucks; and the holidays that give you time to enjoy it all – truly make it the most wonderful time of the year!

  3. Cheers to my favourite city 🙂 I have travelled to New York so far in the spring and summer the weather was lovely! During Christmas time the wind chill can make it seem colder?? but I suppose is a great time to visit!

    1. Thanks Evelina! We lived in New York for 6 years and thus had no option but to experience the cold winters. But the Christmas decorations do make up for it a little bit 🙂 Glad you visited in Spring.
