The holiday season in New York is magical. Let’s eat around the city, see holiday lights and decorations, and visit a holiday market or two. If you have hiked with me, you know I like (love) food, so we will visit a variety of places.

This will not be a mileage focused urban hike; we will cover 5-8 miles total, with a pace of 2 to 2.5 miles per hour.
