Central Park in the snow.

Worth it, says Antonina. Central Park is downright magical during the first snowfall of the year.

It seldom snows during Christmas in New York City, but if you notice snow in the forecast, make Central Park your top priority. Central Park is downright magical during the first snowfall of the year.

If you’re solo, pop in some headphones and let the Christmas music roll while you stroll meandering paths, it’s a very peaceful experience. If you’d like to go the extra mile, make reservations at the beautifully-decorated Tavern on the Green for lunch or dinner (the food is surprisingly good considering the prime location!).
