It’s the most wonderful time of the year. And for our NYC car service it is also the busiest! There is so much to do in NYC during the holiday season, it seems that everyone wants to enjoy what the city has to offer from the comfort and safety of a luxury limousine. Here, we take a look at some of the best things to do and places to go in NYC. But remember, you’ll need to book your NYC car service well in advance.
Delux Car Service to Rockefeller Center
For both visitors and native New Yorkers, the Rockefeller Center is the focal point for Christmas in NYC. This year’s Norway Spruce Christmas tree comes from East Greenbush, New York. It features more than 50,000 multi-colored, energy efficient LED lights and is crowned with a Swarovski star. The tree will be lit during the live broadcast “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” on Wednesday, December 3.
But that is only the beginning of what you can experience after our NY car service drops you at the door. Other festive events at the Rockefeller Center include the opportunity to enjoy your own cozy, private Après Skate Chalet overlooking The Rink and the Christmas tree. The chalets accommodate up to six guests and offer a food and beverage service for purchase including sharing platters, hot or cold drinks and signature cocktails.For the ultimate experience, treat yourself to a Top of the Rock premium chalet and take in the New York skyline from 70 stories up.
Another special festive offering is the VIP Rock Pass: Holiday Edition. This two-hour guided tour is the only way to experience an up-close view of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree from Center Plaza, which is normally closed to the public. The experience begins in the VIP Lounge and takes in one of Rockefeller Center’s hidden rooftop gardens, plus a Champagne Toast and VIP access to Skylift and The Beam Experience at Top of the Rock.
See how it’s done at Dyker Heights
Does the thought of Christmas decorations conjure images of competitive families causing citywide power outages in movies like National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Deck the Halls? If so, book a NY car service to Dyker Heights. Those festive movies are played out in real life as life-sized Santas, sleighs and snowmen taking over the neighborhood and Christmas carols bump from loudspeakers.
The decorations in this salubrious Brooklyn neighborhood get more outrageous as the competitive neighbors up the ante with every passing year. It’s now become a well-known tourist attraction, and while it is a little off the regular beaten track, a luxury limo is perfect for a slow drive-by before heading on to a festive dinner in one of the city’s top restaurants.
Catch a Christmas show – for families or adults
Christmas is the perfect time to catch a festive show, either on or off Broadway, and NYC has something for everyone. But to fully enjoy your time hire a NYC car service. Here are a few that sprang out at us from different points on the spectrum. A Christmas Carol brings Charles Dickens’s classic tale to life at the Perelman Performing Arts Center. It comes directly from London’s iconic Old Vic Theatre, where it debuted in 2017, and stars the legendary Michael Cerveris as Scrooge.
Alternatively, book our luxury car service for Nutcracker Rouge at Théâtre XIV in Brooklyn. This is definitely for adults only and is a very different take on the classic ballet. The circus-style burlesque is full of fun and energy, and will certainly leave you with lasting memories. It’s showing from December through to the beginning of February.
For something a little more traditional, there’s the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall, just a block away from the Rockefeller Center. The Spectacular is an institution that dates back to 1933, and for many, it is what Christmas in NYC is all about. The singing and dancing is brought to you by The Rockettes, a 36-strong dance troupe that has achieved global fame.
Everyone loves the park especially with safe, luxury transportation
We can’t talk about the holiday season in NYC without mentioning Central Park. If you feel energetic, wrap up warm, pack your skates and our NY car service will get you to Wollman Rink in no time. The rink has been part of the Christmas landscape for decades. However, we think a cup of coffee or cocoa and a cookie while watching others on the ice is a very acceptable alternative for non-skaters!
Central Park is also a fantastic place to see in the New Year. On New Year’s Eve, the New York Road Runners hosts a Midnight Run. The four-mile trek through the park begins at the stroke of midnight. At the same time, fireworks will light up the night to usher in the next year.
Ride the Carousel at Greeley Square
This year, a brand-new double-decker carousel is appearing in Greeley Square at 33rd Street and Broadway, offering rides throughout December and into the New Year.
The two-story swirl of lights, music and storybook creatures will spin from 10am to 10pm every day throughout the holiday season. It’s the perfect way to inject some fun into your holiday shopping activites, especially when you travel with a professional NYC car service .
Contact Delux to experience the holiday season in comfort
We all love the holiday season. But remember, this is the busiest time of year for us at Delux! We do our best to accommodate everyone, but please book early to avoid disappointment and to ensure we have the perfect car, limo or party bus available to get you and your party wherever you want to go.
