It's worth braving the crowds.. the picture opportunities are incredible as are the decorations and lights on the surrounding buildings of course the Rockefeller center tree and ice skating rink are great backdrop. Be sure to explore the store Windows as they are artistic creations that must be seen to be believed. Char subway stations nearby. Some of the streets are closed to do traffic which makes it nice to walk around. FAO schwarz is right down the street.
