The good news for those who love the holiday season (and bad news for those who believe Christmas music should only be played starting Christmas Eve) is that the holidays really begin from November onwards. That’s when many of the memories are made, gifts are bought and plans are finalized. Thankfully, it’s also when Brookfield Place, the best shopping and dining destination in New York, transforms into a family-friendly holiday experience.
Don’t get us wrong. Brookfield Place, the best-kept “secret” shopping spot in Battery Park City, has exciting events happening year-round, but the line-up this December also makes it a must-visit spot for the holidays. Brookfield Place is a rare place where both the holiday planners and enthusiasts can spend the day together getting into the holiday spirit (in whatever way works for everyone). Whether it’s getting drinks and dining out, or enjoying entertainment and family activities, there’s plenty for everyone to do and get involved in. Plus, regardless of the holiday season, there’s always a wide range of dining options and a chic, curated collection of shops to discover, with labels you’ll love and your next favorite piece (or pieces) waiting for you.
From ice skating and live musical performances in the Winter Garden to gift wrapping and Selfies with Santa, here’s what will bring you back to Brookfield Place all season long.
