Happy Thursday! It is almost the weekend which is great, but then I have exams next week...so that's not great 😂.
Last week, when I was galavanting in NYC to see all the Christmas sites, I was thinking about what people would want to know during their first NYC Christmas trip. I have only been once during the holidays (last week), but I feel like the one experience gave me so much insight for future trips!!
1. Getting into the city. There is multiple ways you can get into NY. If you can, I suggested driving and parking in a New Jersey city across the river from NYC. From there, you can take the PATH in. Super super easy!
2. Go on a week day if you can!! NY can be very busy and crowded during the holidays. Going on a week day will mean less crowds. I went on a Thursday, and during the day, Rockefeller Plaza, and the tree were almost empty. So great!!
3. Have a general plan about the sites you want to see, so you can map it out accordingly. It is easiest to go from "bottom to top," or "top to bottom" in the city. I also say general plan because you might stumble across something you had no idea existed, and need to stop and have a look!
4. Sites you HAVE to see:

4. Sites you HAVE to see:
- Rockefeller Plaza Christmas Tree
- Saks light show at night
- Bryant Park Winter Market
- Drinks at the Plaza Hotel
- Radio City Rockette's Christmas Spectacular
5. How to dress: Definitely look at the weather before hand. But, I suggest wearing a winter coat that can block the wind. Then, accessorize with a cute scarf, hat and mittens!! It never hurts to pack an umbrella as it is good for blocking rain AND snow.
6. What to bring: I used my Longchamp tote as my bag for the day. It fit everything I needed, and had room incase I shopped ahah!! But I suggest bringing a portable charger for your phone, camera, water bottle and snack, umbrella. Obviously bring your normal wallet and things like that!
7. Lastly, enjoy your time 😊. There's nothing quite like Christmas in the city, and no one does Christmas like NYC. 🎄🎉
