Have some vacation time off? Kids home from school? Don’t just sit around the house, get out to these Seastreak-approved winter break activities in the Big Apple.
The Shops at Columbus Circle continue their indoor light show through the 3rd of January. Expect to see twelve 14-foot stars throughout the main room light up to holiday music’s tune. While you’re there, walk across the street to the magical Central Park, which is just as beautiful in the cold as it is in the summer.
