Times Square Holidays!

I love holiday time in midtown!  Everyone is in a cheery mood and the packed sidewalks, Christmas carols, and gaudy decorations remind me of the annual family trips we to NYC when I was a kid.  We would catch a Broadway show, do some site seeing, and check out a local favorite at the TKTS booth.  Talk about an awesome Christmas present, huh?

This weekend Patrick and I hoofed it over to Rockefeller Center after a couple hours at the dog park.  Below is a taste of the holiday cheer that we observed.

Also, you may notice I've changed the permissions on this blog.  I've decided that I will make the blog public so if you want to join me for a walk you'll need to leave a comment here or call, text, or e-mail me to arrange a meeting time and place.  I hope to walk with you soon!

Notice the green bow Patrick got at Paws in Chelsea when he boarded there over Thanksgiving.

"Fewer pictures, more walking!"

This sparkling blue Christmas tree at the Brazilian churrascaria down the street is like a shining beacon when it's dark out.

The local hot dog vendor is decked out, too!

Giant Xmas lights on 6th Avenue.

Thar she blows!  I need to go back by in the dark -- I bet it's beautiful!

Look on top of the marquis for RCMH's Christmas cheer.  Tall and skinny is our Radio City rolls!

These giant ornaments define the holidays for me!

Even New York's finest were stopping to have a touristy moment.

Patrick and I waded through this mass of people -- it took us almost an hour to walk down 49th Street between 6th and 10th!

I love these simple but breathtaking decorations!
Next week: I'm open to suggestions!  Let me know if you'd like to walk with me!  Check back for details later this week.  (Don't think you'll remember?  Follow my blog and it will be e-mailed directly to you!)

Walk through midtown to see holiday decorations!

Hope to see you there!

Happy December!

I'm back in NYC and will be back on my walking schedule this weekend.  I'll be doing a tour of Midtown to see the holiday decorations that are all shiny and new!  Meet me and Patrick at my apartment at 2:00pm on Saturday, December 4th.  Don't know my address?  E-mail me or leave a comment here and I will send it to you!
