Most tourists who come to New York City for the holidays head straight to Rockefeller Center to see the tree and the ice skaters. They visit Radio City Music Hall, browse the windows of Sachs 5th Avenue and for the most part have the time of their lives. Even with heavy crowds and the limited ability to move more than a few feet a second, it’s all worth it. However, New York City offers so much more during the holidays than just the Rockefeller Center experience.
New York, as every other State in the United States features many malls filled with stores for everyone’s fancy. Mall’s feature multiple restaurants, spa’s and and the typical all in one shopping experience.
