2. From Chinatown

3. To Little Italy

4. To Wall Street.

5. Manhattan may as well just have one giant string of Christmas lights on it.

6. The island probably looks brighter from space this time of year.

7. Central Park becomes a winter wonderland.

8. Which means great photo opps like this

9. And this

10. And this.
