View of the Empire State Building from our hotel window on the 33rd floor. Yesterday we rode the elevators to the 86th floor of that building to look down on New York City under 10" of freshly fallen snow!
Last night was a special night on the town. In a nutshell, we left our hotel room after sunset....................
..........walked gingerly along the slushy, slippery sidewalks.........through charming Bryant Park (Janet, thanks for telling us about this lovely place which is opposite our hotel!), complete with European style Christmas Village shops, and packed skating rink and carousel.......
.......sighing over Saks windows full of amazing red dresses.......
........shoes and accessories.........
.............and sparkling decor.............
We arrived here at Radio City Music Hall, great tickets in hand (center stage, fourteen rows back!) excited and and ready to enjoy the Christmas Spectacular with the world famous Rockettes.
A great night of beauty and fun.
.........ending with the true meaning of Christmas, thankfully!

Oh, Mary...what a spectacular time you are having. New York looks absolutely splendid under the blanket of snow. And I think I see Jasmin peeking out here and there!!
ReplyDeleteHave always dreamed of seeing the Rockettes. What wonderful seats you had!!
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Thanks for sharing your amazing, wonderful holiday time in New York. It looks magical!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos. It looks like everyone is having a fun time. Do be careful walking in the slush...it can be quite slippery. You are braver than I, staying on the 33rd floor of a hotel room. I'm afraid of heights and won't stay on a floor higher than the 9th. But you have a lovely view to show for it!

How fun! Would love to be in NYC this time of year. We'll have to do with SF though. Went to the City last night and took pictures of windows too. Such a fun thing to do. Enjoy the season! --Delores
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary, it sounds like you are having so much fun in the Big Apple! What a magical way to spend Christmas. Wishing I was there with you. The snow is quickly going away here.
ReplyDeleteNew York in the snow looks wonderful, must admit I'd love to see it at Christmas, some of those stor windows look wonderful. The red dress and shoes are fabulous. The show looks great as well. Maybe next year........
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOWOWOW!!! Don't you need another Granddaughter??? hehehe!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Oh how I love NY in the winter and Bryant Park is a great park! Was just there last week!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'm glad they did include the true meaning of Christmas too.
ReplyDeleteI love New York at Christmas time! I was there about 8 years ago and saw all the sights you are seeing. We only had a little snow, though! Enjoy! Have fun! Hope you get home before Santa comes!

That is a lot of snow. I'm glad you got those water proof boots. Love the falling Christmas soldiers. I remember that from my own viewing of the Rockets.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting and great time to be in the city! I'm so glad you had a good time. I love Bryant Park at Christmas time. Did your plane leave on time?

I think that I would like to see all of that once, but I'm more of a small town girl. Jasmine is really growing up, you have a beautiful granddaughter! The picture of the three of you in the window is a great one!
ReplyDeleteTake Care!
