The holidays are quickly approaching and we have your guide for some early happenings this month on Long Island and NYC to help you get into the spirit!

Long Beach’s 11th annual turkey trot will take place on Sunday, November 22, 2015. There will be two races: one for children under the age of 17 at 8:30 am and the 10K race for all ages at 9:00 am. Both races start and finish on New York Avenue and the boardwalk. Be sure to bring a non-perishable food item to benefit those in the community in need! 

Would Thanksgiving really be Thanksgiving without the Macy’s parade? The balloons have already been tested and they are ready to fly! For the past 89 years, the parade never fails to disappoint us with giant balloons, floats, cheerleaders, clowns, marching bands, and performances. 

Bryant Park’s winter village opened last week and is a must see this season! With more than 125 boutiques housed in custom-designed “jewelry box” kiosks and a 170’ x 100’ rink featuring free admission ice skating,  the park really transforms into a winter wonderland. Celsius is also apart of the action by serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks everyday.
 

Starting in the middle of November, many stores on Fifth Avenue create their famous holiday windows. Barney’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Macy’s and more will be showing off this thrilling artistry for free each day and night. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes while you wait - but the line is worth it!

The Holiday Lights Spectacular at Jones Beach returns November 20th with over 2.5 miles of holiday scenes featuring 150 light displays. The Holiday Village will also make its return, so bring the kids and take photos with Santa, enjoy a make your own s’mores station, watch some live performances, and more! 

The Rockettes are kicking off their holiday season November 13th! In its 88th year of precision dancing and high kicking, The Radio City Christmas Spectacular has become an annual tradition for many tourists and locals alike.

After reading about what’s happening this season, why not make a day or evening out of it? Our premier limousine services are the best out there. Call us to make your reservation today: (631) 587-8500!
