[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a local, I would recommend:

• The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center. It is absolutely magical and I would chose it any day over the Radio City show (which, honestly, is cheesy and not worth the price).

• If you want to ice skate in a beautiful setting on the Hudson and without crowds of stumbling selfie-taking people, consider the rink at Brookfield Place. It's adjacent to the Winter Garden, where there is a Santa who has yet to be discovered by  the masses (as well as shopping and an upscale food court).

• The holiday train show at the New York Botanical Garden is worth the subway ride to the Bronx. The artistry of it is amazing, and it's indoors so you don't have to worry about bad weather.

• Go to Lillie's Victorian Establishment in midtown for afternoon tea or pre-dinner cocktails. It's not about the food, but the decor . . . they deck it out with OTT holiday decorations. Make reservations early.

• If the holiday market at Bryant Park is on your list, be aware that it is a claustrophobic mob scene. The market at Union Square is more manageable, especially if you go in the morning.[/quote]
