New York City during Christmas time is a must see! Here are a few things you should do during Christmas time in New York City!
1. Go sight seeing
This was one of my favorite parts about the whole trip! NYC has some of the most beautiful Christmas decorations throughout the city. My favorite places to go sight seeing were Times Square, Central Park, and the Rockefeller Center. There is never a store or street that is not decorated for the holidays!

2. Take a bus tour of the city
This was such a fun thing to do! Yes, it was cold, but worth it! The bus tour takes you places that are famous. Some of them you don't know were famous and some you do! It's not just about what is famous and what isn't; the bus tour gives you facts you may or may not have known about the city. It also can give you ideas on where to visit while you are visiting the city!
3. Go to a show on Broadway
This is a must when visiting NYC in general. When I was in NYC, I saw Kinky Boots and it was amazing. If you decide to see a Broadway performance, make sure to eat dinner at a place that works around Broadway performances schedules! There are a ton of them.
4. Visit all of the "little" towns
You can't go to NYC without visiting Little Italy or China Town! Everyone has to experience it. In Little Italy, you can always count on eating the best Italian meal you've possibly have ever eaten. In China Town, stop by one of the venders and get you a look-a-like Tory Burch, Michael Kors, or Louis Vuitton purse or wallet! Each little town has something unique about each one. They are both decorated for Christmas in their own, unique way.
5. Visit the Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is one of the must see sights of NYC. No matter if it is a holiday or not, you should always stop by to see the most beautiful stature in the country!
6. Visit the 9/11 Memorial
This was one of the things I didn't get the chance to do because it was sold out, but I am sure it was worth it for the people who did get to see it. Holidays can be hard when you have lost a loved one, and it is always nice to pay tribute to the ones who were innocently killed on such a horrific day for America.
7. Go shopping
When in NYC, shopping is a must! Especially with the sales going on! They have such great deals at all of your favorite stores like Macy's. Don't be afraid to go look on Saks 5th Avenue either! Tiffany's looks amazing decorated for the holidays!
8. Visit the Empire State Building at night
Most people don't think of visiting the Empire State building at night, but this was a must for when I visited. It was gorgeous looking over the city at night. It was very peaceful and calm!
9. Pick up an ornament while you're visiting!
Pick up an ornament to remind you of the memories you made while in NYC during Christmas! Ornaments are some of my favorite decorations for Christmas, so this is a must!
10. Eat at a vender at least once!
Food venders are some of the things you hear about when visiting NYC, so why not try it? Food venders are literally everywhere so you won't miss one anywhere you go!
11. Take a carriage ride through Central Park
Carriage rides in the NYC during Christmas? Sounds ideal right about now! This was one of my favorite things to do while in NYC! It gives you a break from walking so much!
12. Visit The Plaza Hotel
If you're like me and love the movie Home Alone, then you will love this! The Plaza Hotel looks exactly like it does in the movie during Christmas time and it was amazing!
13. Visit Grand Central Station
If you are a Gossip Girl fan like me, its a must to visit the Grand Central Station! It is gorgeous decorated for Christmas.
14. If you see a celebrity, take a pic!
This will be the one and only time so might as well save the memory through a pic!
15. Last but not least, take lots and lots of pictures!
Not many people can say they went to NYC, but you can! So why not take as many pics as you can?
