Merry Christmas from New York City

 I thought it would be fun this Christmas Day to spend it in New York City! Come with me as we enjoy the lights, sights and foods to be celebrated on this day. We start at the Peninsula Hotel, heading out after a good nights sleep..........

How can you not LOVE their gingerbread house of the hotel ? So fantastic 

Breakfast is calling on this Christmas Day, so we head to Financier Patisserie, one of my faves for a Almond Brioche and a wonderful latte......now off walking we go.......

Ahh, the front of Trump Tower with many stars all over the building looks so pretty 

The BEST holiday windows, in my opinion, are Bergdorf Goodman. We have seen so many of the major stores close this year like Henri Bendel and Barneys, but Bergdorf's is a staple. A great way to see the windows is with the Holiday Lights and Movie Sites tour with On Location Tours, this is available on Christmas Day, when there is very little to do in the city.  

Upon viewing this gorgeous jewel tree in Bergdorf's window, I bought one for myself on Etsy. So darn fantastic, I keep it up all year round! 

Walking some more, the big snowflake dangling from the sky....always so pretty ....I am getting hungry for some lunch, what about you ? 

Cartier....now this is just gorgeous but I am still thinking what to do for lunch on Christmas Day? 

Did someone suggest Afternoon Tea at the Plaza Hotel? They are closed Christmas Day but you can do the festive tea any time prior or after. 

These little sandwiches look so yummy....I must thank the person who suggested this today.......

Dessert collection has ...cannolis flavored with gingerbread in the ricotta filling......it does feel like Christmas now, for sure!! 

Toy Soldiers are all at attention looking very regal .........

The Fendi store always looks so lovely during Christmas season 

The famous Radio City Music Hall ..........

Rockefeller Center is lighted so beautiful this time of year....you can hear the Christmas tunes, can't you?  

the oh-so-pretty angel......... 

the famous tree itself which you can view very easily from the On Location Tours holiday tour which I prefer than dealing with the crowds 

Ahh, finally a place to sit and rest my feet.....dinner will be at Bryant Park Grill which is so festive during the holiday season! 

Crab cakes are one of my favorites  

Mushroom ravioli is so delish 

we are back at the hotel now......... 

admiring their gorgeous Christmas tree and heading back to our room for a good night sleep in the big apple...........

Hope you all have a most wonderful Christmas with family, friends, good food and memories made to last a lifetime...........
