Macy's, Herald Square & Empire State Building. After a late morning start lunched at Ben's Deli and on to Macy's. We embraced the window displays, Herald Square, glimpsed the nearby Empire State Building, and made our way to Times Square.
Times Square & Off Broadway Show. It was a little chilly! From there we walked to 46th Street to see Sistas - The Musical at St.Luke's Theatre. We did the ferry bus' scenic route back to the pier, crossed the river and dined at Ruth Chris.

We strolled Broadway and on to Radio City Music Hall for the awesome Christmas Show which also depicted the birth of Jesus Christ; with live animals. At Rockefeller Center, the Christmas tree and ice skaters. Roasted chestnuts, shopping, Restaurant Row for dinner . . . .
Subway to 135th, Mother AME Zion Church, Jazz Vespers. We rode the iron horse to Harlem for the church's Jazz Vespers concert.
