We started in the Starbucks at the SE corner of Washington Square Park - I picked up a hot apple cider to go, and we were off to our first site: the arch at WSP.
Then we walked up 5th Avenue and over to Union Square where we elbowed our way through the holiday market before taking the subway up to Macy's.
There, we went from window to window for a 3-D storytelling of "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus." Afterwards, it was on to the windows at Lord & Taylor (not as impressive) and then the snowflakes and bubbles light show on the Saks 5th Avenue building. Along the way, I picked up a paper bag of.....ROASTED CHESTNUTS! Haven't had those since I was in Europe last year.
We munched our way to the tree at Rockefeller:
and then ended our evening in St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Many thanks to Jeremy for organizing, and to the others for joining! I had a great time and am looking forward to next year's walk.
