Christmas Week in NYC - Part Two!



Christmas Week in NYC continues...

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day!

 

We dressed up on Christmas Eve and bundled up, too! Definitely feeling the crisp cold air on our faces, as well as up our dresses.  I felt the cold air from my feet all the way to my waist.  Yes, indeed - I wore my fancy sparkling high heels, which I bought last year in NYC.    Luckily, I only had two blocks to walk.  So, Christmas Eve dinner was at Del Frisco's near Rockefeller Center. 

Christmas Eve Dinner - Del Frisco's

(Blair and Me)

Del Frisco's in New York is a beautiful three-story restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows with wonderful views of Sixth Avenue and nearby Rockefeller Center.  Blair was familiar with Del Frisco's and she knew we needed a place where her Dad could order a steak, while at the same time, she and I could order something other than steak.  It was a dress-up kind of place for us girls, yet not stuffy and snobby.  Afterall, it's Christmas Eve and dining out needed to be special for us. 
It exceeded our expectations - the atmosphere, service, and food were all fantastic!  

It's huge and beautiful!

After dinner, a walk to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to absorb the beautiful Christmas tree and lights. 

It's hard to capture the beauty of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in a picture, but, we tried!

Christmas Day we walked the famous city again while the stores were closed experiencing the calm and quiet in NYC instead of the hustle and bustle from the day before.

You wouldn't experience NYC if you didn't take a walk in Central Park...

Central Park is so big and it's impossible to see it all.  It's truly beautiful.  There's ice skating; beautiful bridges; and of course, the horse carriage rides, known as the method of choice to tour the park.  We didn't want to take the horse carriage... we just don't feel like it's very humane for the horses.  I'll leave it at that!  

 

Central Park is one of those places you need to visit numerous times to really absorb it all.
