"The holiday season in New York City is like nowhere else, and the five boroughs treat their annual Christmas light decorations as a neighborhood sport. The city transforms into one giant and festive walking tour from late November through New Year's. Some spots turn their brownstones into Las Vegas with their Christmas lights, while others keep it classy and cozy. If you're trying to plan a night out to see the best of the city's bright holiday lights, these NYC neighborhoods consistently deliver the most wow factor, with decorations plastered all across residents' houses and apartment buildings."
"The most concentrated area remains the stretch around 83rd to 86th streets between 11th and 13th avenues, where the densest clusters of decorated houses are packed together. Displays typically go up right after Thanksgiving and run through early January, with weeknights giving you the best shot at seeing everything without the peak weekend crowds. Tours operate nightly for people who want a guided route, but it is also completely free and walkable on your own."
