I have just returned from a week in New York. For off-beat Christmas sights (and sites), I recommend the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden (Metro North train from Grand Central) and the Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (212-535-7710 at 1000 Fifth Avenue). The more adventurous might enjoy the outdoor light display at the Bronx Zoo (718-367-1010 - Number 2 subway). The Public Library at Lincoln Center (65th at Columbus) currently has an interesting exhibit on vaudeville (it's not a Chistmas display, but it's free and warm). Visit the Metrpolitan Opera while you are there. The St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church (157 Montague Street, Brooklyn - (718) 875-6960) has free organ concerts at 1:10 every Wednesday afternoon. The 1924 Skinner pipe organ is beautiful. The fare for the busses and subways is now $1 (instead of $2) through the holidays. Pick up free maps at Grand Central. -- Bill Martin -- On Sat, Nov 26, 2005 at 09:02:38AM -0500, Bill & Cathy McGrath wrote: > If anyone is interested, I have a thirteen page write up on selected New York City sights that can be sent to you as an attachment. > > The listing covers 47 areas of interest (museums, Christmas window displays outlining this year's themes, famous buildings, interesting restaurants, impressive hotel lobbies, new attractions in New York - The Pond at Bryant Park and The Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, etc.) and is arranged in descending order from 104th Street to 12th Street..
