Holiday in New York City


 Visiting NYC during the holiday season has an experience of its own. The city clad in holiday Avtar and probably you can see the bustling city insanity. Visiting the city year after year, I still get psyched up to visit during the holidays. The lavish window displays of 5th avenue, whimsical lights, arrey of flavorsome food, giant Christmas decor in radio city, huge skating arena to grand central what not to love about NYC's holiday. At 0 degrees, you feel cozy because this is the best time of the year.





 Shop and eat at the Bryant Park Holiday Market
Overlooking the skyscrapers, this outdoor market is for you, with a whole European-inspired feel and festive spirit. One of a kind jewelry, cool and quirky  Christmas tree ornaments, alluring art, more than 100 NYC Artisans' pop-up stalls, you will end up amused in this best holiday market in NYC. Give your hunger pangs a kick with the city's favorite flavors, such as hot chocolate, crepes, apple donuts, Mediterranean wraps, and, oh, how can I forget, those filled rice balls. A must-visit.






For your eyes, a lavish display of Saks 5th avenue light show
In the early 70s, NYC's department store unveiled these artistic, exquisite, lavish window displays, and is now synonymous with the city's holiday scene. You can get it all, from fairytales to flamboyant fashion.
Changes in whimsical color and design every ten minutes, this holiday light show you should never miss. Shiny, Shimmery, and Magical.





Give a visit to Radio City Hall and get mesmerized.
A new york holiday is incomplete without watching a show. Also, check those Christmas ornaments display, one of the giants you can imagine.



The fabulously famous Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center
Overcrowded yet worth visiting, this iconic tree has been a tradition since 1931, decorated with more than 45000 LED lights. It is unforgettable, enlightening, and spectacular in its own right.
Tips
Wear your warmest coat, as the temperature can be below zero.
If you are in the City, be ready to walk and wear your comfortable footwear.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that.
