I've wanted to visit New York City at Christmas for a long time. When Mr. Snootypurse found himself a few miles short of elite status on his airline of choice, we decided that this would be the year. I was shocked by the hotel prices in Manhattan. The Hampton Inn was $450/night! Fortunately a local friend recommended staying in Brooklyn Heights. Thus we found ourselves soaking up views of downtown Manhattan from the Brooklyn Promenade the morning after our arrival.
Mr. Snootypurse ventured across the East River to Wall Street hoping to see the interior of the NYSE. Unfortunately it's not open to the public but he was able to see the exterior with it's holiday Christmas tree. The stock exchange is the light colored building to the left of the tree.
We stopped by Rockefeller Center briefly before attending the
Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes. Following the show we met a friend at Grand Central Station for dinner. It was a double-win for us as we enjoyed the visit and found a good place to eat in the city. The downstairs food court has outlets for many well-known New York restaurants without the lines!
