Hi,

We live in CT and are thinking of staying overnight in NYC on Christmas. I see that the Radio City Christmas show is on, but I checked a few plays and they aren't running. Does anyone know...is there much at all open on Christmas? I'd hate to go and be stuck in the hotel watching TV.

the Orthodox Jewish owned stores around Orchard Street may be open (not sure about this - I would check with Altman Luggage before heading down there)

Asian and other restaurants on the opentable list.

Last year I saw Phantom of the Opera on Christmas Day. The year before I went to Radio City. I suppose you could do both. That with a nice meal and just walking around, maybe crossing the Brooklyn Bridge would be nice.

Oh, and Rockefeller Center was busy that day. You can go see the tree and I believe you can skate (?) I remember a Japanese store open near there on Christmas day. You will find places open here and there. And there is always a carraige ride in Central Park.

If you go to the following site, it will provide a good source of information for events, restaurantes, etc. during Christmas in New York:

Have a great time in the Big Apple.
