🎄✨ NYC Holiday Lights & History Walking Tour 🎅🗽
Hosted by The New York Social Network
Experience the magic of Midtown Manhattan this holiday season on a festive walking tour of NYC’s best Christmas lights and holiday decorations! Join NYSN founder Dave Cervini for a guided stroll through the city’s most iconic holiday landmarks — from 34th Street to Rockefeller Center — while discovering the fascinating history behind the lights, buildings, and traditions that make New York shine each December.
Along the way, you’ll see incredible “then and now” photos of NYC, explore hidden historical gems, and visit must-see spots like Macy’s holiday windows, Bryant Park Christmas Tree, Radio City Music Hall, 6th Avenue holiday lights, and the world-famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
If you don’t say “oh wow!” at least once during the tour, we’ll give your money back!
