NYC Unwrapped: An Elliman Guide to Holiday Lights

by Elliman Editors

November 2021

Douglas Elliman is ringing in the holidays with “ NYC Unwrapped ,” a festive guide to enjoying the many gifts that make New York City so magical this time of year—including the trees, streets and entire homes festooned in shimmering, sparkling holiday lights. Here are four of our favorite holiday light displays to visit this time of year. Harlem Holiday Lights Harlem holds its 28th annual holiday kickoff where entertainer and philanthropist, Nick Cannon, will serve as the event’s Grand Marshal. East 73rd Street Winter Lights The residents on this stretch of 73rd between 2nd and 3rd Avenues on the Upper East Side have draped their trees in elegant white lights for more than 20 years. Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Ticketed access to the elaborately illuminated homes in this Brooklyn neighborhood includes a bus tour that picks up at Bryant Park. Sheepshead Bay Holiday Lights Not far from Dyker Heights, the holiday lights suspended above Sheepshead Bay Road make for a festive evening drive. View the complete NYC Unwrapped holiday guide .
