Wondering where you’re going to spend the most wonderful time of the year? New York City is the place to be! The Big Apple has countless events to get you into the holiday spirit.
Why Aero Charter Loves New York City
New York City is famous for its shopping districts, spectacular cultural events, vibrant neighborhoods, and endless energy that is only intensified during December. For the full winter wonderland experience, the Winter Village at Bryant Park is perfect for holiday fun! With over 170 shops, a 17,000-square-foot ice skating rink and more, it’s the best location that provides all the holiday festivities.
Continue your shopping experience with a stroll down Fifth Avenue and all of its holiday window displays. Tons of department stores create ornate windows decked out with Christmas lights, characters, and fantasy-like scenes. No wonder why it is one of the best holiday attractions in NYC!
A perfect way to explore New York City is a walk through the many parks! More than 80 parks, including Central Park, will be lit up with Hanukkah menorahs and Christmas trees this holiday season. This tradition illuminates the city while spreading holiday cheer.

Festive Events
There are countless activities New York City provides in December, but here are some local favorites! The Union Square Holiday Market is the ultimate shopping hub. Filled with thousands of unique artisan gifts, artwork, jewelry, and more, it is a great opportunity to support local businesses during the holidays.
Interested in a magnificent performance? The Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular is one you can’t miss in New York City during the holiday season. Experience Radio City Music Hall as it transforms into a winter wonderland while the sights and sounds of Christmas surround you. It’s a show like no other!
Broadway Under the Stars is another great event. Located in the Time Warner Center, it is a five-week series of free indoor Broadway performances with new shows throughout November and December. What an excellent way to experience the unparalleled performing arts of New York City, for free!

Good Eats
The cuisine of New York City is unmatched! Dinner at Rezdôra feels like an authentic Italian dining experience. Head chef Stefano Secchi was ranked in 2018 for best restaurant in the world at his location in Modena, Italy. He has since opened one of the NYC’s best restaurants for Italian cuisine. The regional pasta tasting is the best way to celebrate the taste of the house-made pasta.
Pizza is a must when visiting NYC. Di Fara Pizza has been every pizza-maker’s inspiration in the Big Apple. Each pizza is handcrafted by the owner Dom himself. With ingredients imported from Italy and a mouthwatering recipe, Di Fara’s pies are hard to beat!
The ultimate holiday dining atmosphere is at Rolf’s. Their location is decorated like a German winter wonderland with ornaments, icicles, and other festive pieces covering the ceiling. They specialize in German cuisine and feature a wide variety of beers on tap and holiday cocktails for you to enjoy!

Best Places to Stay
The best place to stay and warm up by the fire is The Lowell in the Lower East Side. It has been named the top hotel in New York City because of its timeless elegance as a landmark luxury hotel. Although the hotel has many amenities including restaurants, bars, spas, and the Pembroke Room for afternoon tea, the Lowell is just steps away from Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and Central Park.
Second to The Lowell is The Carlyle. It is a Rosewood Hotel with an elegant, modern aesthetic. Nestled in the Upper East Side, it is known for its impeccable service and sophistication. What also makes it exceptional is its location right on Madison Avenue. It is within steps of some of the city’s most popular museums, shops and galleries.
Last but not least is The William Vale Hotel. Brooklyn’s renown luxury hotel is centered around the creative community. Its contemporary design combined with the breathtaking views, elevated public green, and rooftop bar make it a landmark.
