New York Stock Exchange Christmas Tree, photographed by New York Dearest

Soaring to heights of 60 feet, it’s one of the tallest Christmas trees in New York City, reason alone to visit.

If you’re in a festive mood, make a beeline for the annual tree lighting festival held in front of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The tradition dates back to 1923, making it the oldest in the city.

A stark composition to the gray-washed buildings that define the Financial District, the brilliant tree at the NYSE is a sight for soar eyes. Soaring to heights of 60 feet, it’s one of the tallest Christmas trees in New York City, reason alone to visit.
