Hudson Yards / The Vessel, photographed by New York Dearest

I never get tired of this view.

Hudson Yards is a massive mall full of shops and restaurants. Although the mall doesn’t necessarily have traditional window displays like the department stores along Fifth Avenue, the holiday decorations are still worth a detour. Decked out with over two million Christmas lights, the mall rivals the best holiday window displays in NYC.
