Welcome to New York City Holiday Feyeriya — a winter fairytale filled with sparkling lights, romantic streets, freshly brewed coffee, holiday music, and beautiful people sharing unforgettable moments!
Imagine walking through Manhattan as thousands of Christmas lights illuminate the city, enjoying warm cappuccinos, discovering charming holiday markets, sharing laughter, and making new friends. This is not a race through tourist attractions. It’s a wonderfully relaxed New York adventure, with time to talk, enjoy the atmosphere, and photograph the magic around us.
We’ll travel from Philadelphia together, and our friends already in NYC are welcome to JOIN us at our meeting point. Whether you’re coming alone, with friends, or hoping to meet someone special, everyone is part of the celebration.
We’ll enjoy multiple coffee stops, holiday shopping, a relaxed food break, and an evening stroll along Fifth Avenue. Our grand finale will be the magnificent Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, glowing after dark! We’ll invite everyone to gather for a special CenterCity.Events Winter Group Picture, with the illuminated Christmas tree in the background.
