Last night I went out to shoot the New York lights... It was 30 degrees and I'd left my hat somewhere or other... But hey this is the best time in New York! Size is everything here...
Oh I'm sooooooo homesick! Love the Tiffany doorway...and I do have a pair of sparkly flats..must dig them up right away! sooner or later everything comes back in style!
Dear Carol It has been a dream of mine for a very long time to see New York City at Christmas time. Well, I am 65 and still haven't gotten there but today I opened my email and was taken away for a little bit. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. You have really captured the magic of Christmas in New York City. One spot I would love to see is Tavern on The Green. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful works of art each and every day..
I always love NY during the holidays. Brings back memories of heading into the city to have lunch with my dad and watch the skaters at Rockefeller Plaza. Thanks for the nostalgia, Carol.
These are such lvoely pictures of similar images in my head, Christmases past, New York by night - your photo of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is simply sparkling. I reach out and .... Thank you! :-)
LOVEEEEEEE New York at Christmas time! It must be the best decorated city in the States during the Holiday Season... Beats Paris... hands down!!! I will have to go back next year at Christmas time!!!!
I LOVE THESE!!!!! Must say I am kind of partial to one of those store fronts...:)))) Magical all during this time of year. I skated in front of that huge tree once upon a time and it was sooooooo wonderful...felt l like the world was just there for our taking like snowflakes on the tips of our tongues. :))))
I can't believe you even bother about Paris when you are shooting pictures at the Rockfeller center!!! I totally agree with what Manon just wrote!...unless I try to make some hot dog flavoured macarons?!(yeeek!) Anyway, thank you for the pictures!
I like NY as much (may be more) as I like Paris... I've been there many times, but never at Christmas time. No matter how cold ıt would be, next year, this time I'm planning to be there:)
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

ReplyDeleteI don't have any sparkly shoes but I like the ones in the window. I take a size 91/2.
I am sure those shoes come with a hefty price...
Misha,
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you a New York Hot Dog for Xmas!

ReplyDeleteYay for you going out & taking pix of NYC lights. I think they'll all be down by the time I get up there (fairly soon but a bit late for it). xoxo

New York at Christmas, wow. It is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Carol - I might have to vote for the hotdog man too!

ReplyDeleteThe first shot is a stunner but my favorites are the street vendors shot by available light - great stuff, Carol!
