Experience the Most Magical Time of the Year on a New York Christmas Lights Tour to Remember

Come along on a night time New York cocktail tour to see the holiday lights and shop windows of Fifth Avenue. Along the way ýou’ll enjoy cocktails at three landmark hotels all opened during the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt, all architectural marvels from 1902, 1905, and 1906. Enjoying craft cocktails mixed by the city’s best bartenders, you’ll soak in the atmosphere of New York at Christmas, and take photos in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, learning all about its history at the same time.

The 15-block walking tour includes an in-depth look at the history of New York City, its famous hotel residents, and the growth of the city. We’ll talk about speakeasies, Prohibition, and the drinking culture of the last 125 years. We’ll also visit locations where scenes of famous movies were filmed. And you’ll be walking in the footsteps of famous cocktail aficionados such as John Barrymore, Marlene Dietrich, Alfred Hitchcock, and Dorothy Parker.

We cover from Times Square to Rockefeller Center, and with only a maximum of six attendees, we guarantee personal attention from both the guide and the co-leader. So come and be transported back to Pre-War Manhattan, dressed to the nines looking like Nick and Nora Charles, revelling in the charm and excitement of a bygone era.
