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!
