Tour New York’s Window Wonderlands

Nothing says Christmas in New York like these lavish window displays. This year’s windows, with themes ranging from a celebration of the arts to a space journey with Santa Claus, go high-tech with interactive games (Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s) and automated performances (Barneys).

At 5th Avenue and 57th Street.
