Must-See Holiday Highlights in New York City

Long Island Destinations Travel Examiner, Caitlin Havron, speaks with National Holistic Travel Examiner, Gina Alzate, about the must-see holiday highlights in New York City. If you are planning to visit Manhattan during the holidays, make sure to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Christmas specials in the theater district, the Radio City Music Hall, and the ice-skating/tree lighting at the Rockefeller Center. There is NO place like New York City around the holidays! With the snow, lights and Christmas displays in all the department store windows, enjoy the spirit of the holidays as you stroll down 5th and 6th Avenues, Broadway, SoHo and Greenwich Village. If you are fortunate enough to stay through New Year's Eve for the countdown, you definitely will have stories to tell about how you survived welcoming the New Year with thousands of people in Times Square.
