Cue Andy Williams - it’s officially the most, wonderful time of the year.  If you’re not excited yet, we have some ways to help you get into the holiday spirit. 

From brightly lit Christmas Trees to ice skating and holiday shopping galore - gather some friends, family, and Dynasty Limousine for a day or evening around the city this holiday season. 

Check out Rockefeller Plaza: The annual Christmas Tree lighting will take place this Wednesday, November 30th at Rockefeller Plaza. Attending the event is free and open to the public, but it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. AKA - there will be crowds, there will be chaos. If you’d prefer to skip the excitement, watch from the comfort of your own home on NBC from 7p - 9p then head in to see the tree any day prior to January 7th. 

But the tree isn’t the only attraction at Rockefeller - skating at The Rink at Rockefeller is a New York City tradition. Again, general admission skating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Head to the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park: Christmas tree, plus ice skating, plus food and holiday shopping? Win, win, win! Experience the Tree Lighting Skate-tacular this Friday at 6pm staring internationally acclaimed figure skaters performing to live Christmas music played by NYC big band, Lapis Luna. After the tree is lit, the rink will open again to the public with an additional hour-long concert of holiday favorites! 

Aside from this Friday’s event - take advantage of free ice skating and holiday shopping happening all season long. Ice skating is free if your BYO-Skate, otherwise you can rent a pair for $20 for use (helmet, bag check, lock purchase, socks, and more are also available for a price). Then be sure to check out the European inspired open-air Holiday Market featuring food and artisans from around the world! 

Grab a bite at Rolf’s Restaurant: TimeOut said it best - “Rolf’s is what we imagine the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to feel like on the inside.” With hundreds of ornaments coupled with sparkling lights, this German restaurant is the it place during the holiday season (seriously, you can watch the line form out the door!). Call and place a reservation today!

Plan an unforgettable trip to New York City this holiday season without the headache driving and public transportation may cause. Sit back and relax, while Dynasty Limousine takes you around the big apple. Call us today (631) 587-8500!
