Truly endless things to do in NYC but these were some of my highlights

The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular
I really enjoyed this and I think admission is free on Wednesdays!
Museum of the City of New York
Probably out of season now but a great way to stay warm and holiday shop
Grand Central Market
A holiday classic, worth walking through!
Bryant Park Winter Village
More fun, festive holiday lights

The classic Hilton experience, quality clean rooms and felt safe!
Hilton Garden Inn New York Midtown Park Avenue Hotel

AirTrain to JFK
Don't be afraid to navigate the subway, that's part of the NYC charm. Apps like CityMapper make it super easy!
