New York in Christmas is amazing--it was my first time in the city during winter, and it reminded me of Holden Caulfield all the time.

New York City

Overview

Shopping in upper Manhattan. So what if you're not buying much--it's still fun to browse, even if half the items cost more than your plain ticket. SoHo is also nice, cheaper, good food, interesting stores.

Quick Tips:

Just get out there. Don't spend too much time in the expensive parts--check out lower Manhattan and Greenwich Village, as well.

Best Way To Get Around:

Taxi if you've got the dough and don't have the time; otherwise subway, but watch your wallet and back.

The Plaza Hotel

Restaurant

The filet mignon was the best I've EVER had. Wow. Too bad they're tearing the place down/renovating; it'll be interesting to see how it ends up despite recent pickets.
