Enjoy Peter & the Wolf at the Guggenheim

#1. New Years Eve at Times Square
Listen, I grew up watching the ball drop at Time Square like every other American-raised kid. But I’ll let you in on a little secret, being at the event in real life does NOT live up to the hype! First, the crowds absolutely suck the joy out of the event. Participants get locked into the core area until after the event is over and bathrooms are hard to come by, so much so that it’s not unheard of for folks to wear adult diapers. Second, the frigid temperatures and duration of the event make i...
#2. Visiting Rockefeller Center on the Weekends
Seeing the massive Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center is a must-do during Christmas in New York City, make no mistake about it. But you must absolutely avoid visiting during weekends like the plague. No seriously, it’s estimated that an average of 750,000 people visit the tree per dayduring a typical holiday season. I made the mistake of visiting during the weekends and found myself corralled (by police officers and barricades) in a massive crowd of people. We were slowlymoved through to se...
#3. The Grand Central Holiday Market
Some of my friends suggested I visit the Grand Central Holiday Market last Christmas and I’m sorry to report that I found it pretty disappointing. There wasn’t any strong holiday theme, rather the market was full of overpriced vendors and felt like a tourist trap. With so many great holiday markets in NYC, I don’t recommend this one. The one perk though is that this holiday market is indoors, which makes it a great escape from the cold, but I probably wouldn’t buy anything from it. Just my tw...
There’s no sense in sugarcoating it, NYC is COLD during the winter season. Average temperatures in December hover around 44° but the windchill makes it feel somuch colder. I’m typically bundled up in three layers (long sleeve shirt, sweater and coat). Make sure to pack comfortable walking shoes, a heavy wool or down coat, high-quality gloves and a ...
