Raising Cane’s– Midtown

1501 Broadway, New York, NY 10036

There’s a new holiday display in town! Raising Cane’s new flagship location opened in Times Square earlier this year and it brought more than just delicious chicken fingers– it also brought the potential for seasonal holiday displays.

This year’s Christmas display is the chain’s debut window display. It features Cane, the Golden Retriever mascot, in a series of vignettes enjoying the season in the city. See Cane stop by iconic city landmarks, like Bryant Park, Radio City Music Hall and more.

See the delightful display with your own eyes (and grab a Box Combo with extra toast while you’re there)!
