Where to fly: John F. Kennedy International Airport
New York City, with its avenues of impressive Christmas window displays and bustling shoppers, has the potential to transport you to a higher level of appreciation for the season. To truly appreciate the Christmas season in New York City, take a stroll down Fifth Avenue and admire the Macy’s shop displays.
For those who are a bit more athletically inclined, going ice skating in Central Park is a must. And finally, if you’re truly looking to indulge in the delights of the season, head to a show—namely, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, which never fails to capture the magical quality of the season.
Pro tip: To witness the type of sophistication and elegance that is native to New York City, book your room at the Lotte New York Palace, just one block away from Sak’s Fifth Avenue. Especially during the holiday season, this boutique hotel shines brightly with its 30-foot-tall Christmas tree and troves of decorations.
