Safety and scams should be the most important thing tourists should worry about. Oh, plus 🏨 prices, they will get you, hahaha 😆 Happy Thanksgiving 🥧🦃🍛 #HereBeBarr
NY us no longer the city we remember from the movies, it’s become a 3rd world country
1 Malaysian got ripped of by one of those pedicab🤣🤣🤣
Jon, thanks for posting this. I just looked at the weather forecast for next weekend and it has snow on Saturday. Yikes!
You need to include Papillon. Over the top holiday decorations and good food at a reasonable price. It’s my go to most holidays (never minding I used work half a block from there -now retired). Same with Halloween. Great spot.
In all honesty, I went last year early December, and I would never go at Christmas again – and that's really sad, because I went about 7 years ago and loved it. Forget patient, you honestly can't even walk.
Edit: stayed in Astoria, Queens, went to an amazing diner and a Korean BBQ place, and really enjoyed staying there
Well done Jon.
Jon, I would love to visit NYC during the holidays ! Thank you for making this video I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving.
Love your content
Can I have a good Christmas because President Trump was reelected Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior
Coming in a couple of weeks. I took a couple of years off from going in December because I was so annoyed last time. I'm kinda looking forward to the cold and wall to wall crowds
Rolfs may be the worst German food in the city. Get in get out F you bye.
Patience was a very good tip indeed!! 👍🏻 Excellent video.
Love this video. Amazing Guide!
great video. do not forget to eat in liitle italy during xmas week its great
Oscar Wilde already fully booked in December 😂
I was just there on yesterday in that cold rain and to use the bathroom you need to buy something first
Soon
Nothing better than NYC between Thanksgiving and Christmas
I’m a producer so
I understand you waited almost a year to post this …. 😂❤ good job!👏
Like especially the place with the model trains 👍
Disappointing, but good to know about Rolf's. I'm a first generation American of German parents, living in Orlando, FL. We have an incredible German restaurant about 20 minutes from Orlando. I like to try them in the cities I visit across the country and now I will know to skip this one. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Jon!
I needed this I’m going there December 6th!!
Omg, how can you forget Hudson Yards? They have over 2 million lights on display!
For number three, you should include the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center. And even if you’re not a religious person, I would suggest checking out Precious Blood Church on Baxter Street in Little Italy/Chinatown. They put up a truly amazing Nativity scene.
Very informative video. Thank you. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving.
Don’t forget the scene from Serendipity movie at Wolman
I love the Pensicular hotel. They have a amazing rooftop bar. You dont have to be a guest of hotel.
It’s amazing how much content you find and put out, over the years. You and your wife are a very talented bunch. Always entertaining 👍
Dang good tips, thank you. 😊
Am coming over in June to nyc
My family rents a sprinter van with friends to drive around dyker heights every year much better than walking.
Also I'm born and raised here how the hell did I not know about the stock exchange tree?! 😯
It’s so beautiful in NYC at Christmas ❤❤❤
I was there at the winter village this week. I might see myself in the background. Just spent an amazing week in the city- I’m leaving tomorrow. I booked my trip in September and that was cutting it close. But still had a great time. 🎉
Hey Johnny. I saw the Seaport Christmas tree like 10 years ago. I have seen the Rockefeller one multiple times. 🎄
Jon
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃
Last week I was At Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree ( scaffolding) .This past week Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree ( No scaffolding)
Bloomingdals windows is huge with " Wicked". I took some pictures of Plaza Hotel . Louis Vuitton the store is designed like a big chest. Cartier has a nice light display.. The Christmas tree at Fox network is decent. The ornaments across the street decent as well..
Been to Macy's Windows best Windows display numerous times. Dyker Heights my favorite (sorry not yours)been been there twice and will be there multiple times.
Cool video 👍🏻
Why did Saks cancel the light show?

I am happy you mentioned the Holiday Train Show at the Botanical Garden. It's outstanding
