Where South Street Seaport Christmas Tree appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

A bit off the beaten path, South Street Seaport is a quaint subset of the Financial District. Not to be outdone, the area’s heavily-decorated pine reaches impressive heights of sixty feet, making it one of the tallest Christmas trees in New York City.
The entire seaport is festively decorated for the holidays. Pick up a hot chocolate and take your time wandering the cobblestone streets, there are a ton of charming cafes and restaurants worth a gander. This best part? Here, the area is much less crowded than most of the New York City Christmas trees mentioned on this list.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
