@ Bryant Park\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

Hailed as “Midtown Manhattan’s Winter Wonderland,” the Bryant Park Winter Village features amazing food, dozens of pop up shops and an enormous skating rink that you’ll definitely wipe out on. Though this winter-time gem officially opened its doors in late October, there really is no better time to visit Bryant Park than in December. Oh, but do remember to layer up, it is an outdoor festival after all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Holiday Windows in New York<\/h2>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

@ 5th Ave<\/em><\/h4>\n

Every year around mid-November New York’s biggest department stores clear out their regular displays to make way for spectacular, holiday themed window decorations. The windows range in theme from Santa Clause to Winter Wonderland and everything in between. Grab yourself a hot chocolate \u2013 or coffee \u2013 and take a stroll past Saks, Macy’s, Barney’s, Bergdorf and more to take in these sights.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Though SantaCon is technically\u00a0<\/em>a family friendly event, those who participate will tell you that there is usually some pretty heavy day drinking involved. The event is traditionally free, but donations are always appreciated. As always, the location of SantaCon 2017 will be released the night before the chaos begins. Happy Holidays, my drunk friends!<\/p>\n
