No holiday visit to NYC is complete without a visit to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and skating rink. We won't go out on the ice but will learn more about the origins of this holiday tradition.

St. Patrick's Cathedral
The Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral is the original Cathedral of the Archdiocese of New York. Since its construction 200 years ago on the corner of Mott and Prince, it has stood as the heart of old New York; a beacon for the Catholic faithful and an American symbol of religious freedom. And the holidays are the best time to experience it full of festive decor.
Saks Fifth Avenue
A beloved holiday tradition since 2004, the Saks Fifth Ave light show is made up of hundreds of thousands of LED lights synchronized to holiday music projected onto the side of its flagship store on 5th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets. We will also experience their holiday window displays.
