A GUIDE TO NEW YORK AT CHRISTMAS
SHOP THIS LOOK
Last week my sisters, mom, and I took a bucket list trip to New York City. There is truly nothing that beats the seasonal magic of New York at Christmas time. If you haven’t visited the city during the month of December I highly encourage it- Our visit got me in the Christmas spirit that’s for sure!! We were only there for four days but tried our best to hit all of the hot spots. Today I wanted to share where we ate, what we did, and what I wore in NYC. I’ve linked all of my outfits below each image! Keep scrolling for all the highlights. :)
WHERE WE STAYED:
WHERE WE ATE:
Rolf’s German Restaurant
This German restaurant located in Gramercy Park is decked out in lights and decor for the holidays. This is definitely a MUST if you visit the city in December.
Ralph’s Coffee
Ralph Lauren’s best kept secret! Located on the second floor of Ralph Lauren, Ralph’s Coffee is filled with beautiful marble tabletops and delicious coffee.
The Polo Bar
Make reservations a month or more in advance. This is super hard to get into but is so worth it. The restaurant is owned by Ralph Lauren and you must try the burger, shrimp cocktail, and ice cream sundae.
Sarabeth’s
One of my favorite places to eat in New York. We stopped here for lunch but they also have an amazing brunch!
Palm Court at The Plaza
We had afternoon tea at The Plaza Hotel and it was definitely a check off of my personal bucket list!
Balthazar
We went here for brunch on our last day and it was delicious- A New York staple.
Serra by Birreria Seasonal Rooftop Restaurant at Eataly
This restaurant transforms into a scene of greenery and lights galore during the Holiday season and is truly magical. Be sure to try the truffle risotto, charcuterie board, and spiced cider!
TAO Downtown
A super fun Asian fusion restaurant with a “clubby” vibe
Saju Bistro
Walking distance from Times Square making it the perfect spot for a quick bite to eat between broadway shows. We ate here between Harry Potter part 1 and 2.
