8 Photos Show That Christmas Has Now Come for New York City

Hark, Christmas has descended on New York Metropolis.

For a number of weeks this fall, the bushes of the enduring Zuccotti Park, blocks from Wall Avenue (and the frequent web site of anti-capitalist protests), have created a charming golden cover, accentuated by the lights that wrap round them.

Now, on Saturday morning, employees have been unpacking Christmas bushes within the park, heralding the arrival of a brand new season: winter.

Zuccotti is only one of many New York Metropolis-based parks which might be remodeled by twinkling lights every year forward of the vacation season. Financial institution of America’s Winter Village at Bryant Park opened to the general public in October, whereas employees raised the famend Rockefeller Middle Christmas tree on Saturday.
