saks 5th avenue / Rockefeller tree
Christmas Even 2023:
Busy day and very happy to be in NYC for the holiday again. Even though I did Rockefeller last year, made crazy decision to do it again. Was curious how bad crowd was on December 24. Smart decision without realizing it: Crossed 5th Avenue. Completely forgot about Saks window display. It was completely packed, at times, pushed with crowd. Looking across at Rockefeller, definitely the right choice.
Tip: Either arrive just after sunset or late at night. I was there around 8 p.m. I think... Like I said, long day Saks was 4th stop for FireCity. Add in hotel / Bryant Park.
Christmas Eve was 1 of 2 blackout dates for light show. It would have been great to experience again, on list for 2024. Seriously, Saks 5th Avenue window display is worth braving the crowds and your time. Another tip: Roads blocked off make sure you are on the right side early.

rockefeller tree
Yes, it is a beautifully decorated tree. Yes, there is a lot of history. Yes, it is THE tree of NYC.
With that out of the way, viewing it for 2nd year in a row, seriously over-rated. Or, learning last year, wait until after New Year's Day. Last stop on a busy Christmas Eve, glad on was on the side of Saks 5th Avenue.
Point blank honest:
Something to experience one time. Manhattan / NYC in general have other displays / trees to experience that are just as good if not better (Bryant Park / Madison Square examples).
