A GUIDE TO NEW YORK AT CHRISTMAS
SHOP THIS LOOK
Last week my sisters, mom, and I took a bucket list trip to New York City. There is truly nothing that beats the seasonal magic of New York at Christmas time.

A super fun Asian fusion restaurant with a “clubby” vibe

Walking distance from Times Square making it the perfect spot for a quick bite to eat between broadway shows. We ate here between Harry Potter part 1 and 2.
