It's worth going to the tree lighting ceremony just to see if they get the count-down timing right! LOL
I'll be there in November so your info was very helpful. I haven't skated in Bryant Park...what a deal!
well the link only has last years shops.
There is always a complainer! Geez Diane! I'm sure a good majority of the shops that were there in 2008 will be there in 2009. I found the information very helpful. I've been trying to find out about the lighting ceremony and even on the Bryant Park website I didn't see it. So thanks for giving out that information. Some of us appreciate your efforts.
Great! Didn't know about this and I will be in NYC during the 2nd week of November!
Just came home from a trip to NYC and found a lot of great, unique things at the shops at Bryant Park! I only wish that I had more time to shop even longer. I'm not sure if I'll be back to NYC during the holidays anytime in the future but if you go, absolutely take advantage of it!!
