    Find me a downtown in a major metropolitan city that's "safe"......and somewhere anyone normal would want to call home.

    I'm just speaking on what happened when I was a few blocks away a few years back for the Christmas Tree lighting. Lots of shit was going down when that was happening. The actual tree lighting is kinda lame, I've watched maybe once or twice (I used to always get a hotel room in Downtown Portland on black friday and party it up whenever I'd visit for Thanksgiving).

    I usually do take a few pics by the tree, but its usually when the square is empty. I've taken a few walking back from the bars/club back to the hotel over the years I think.

    Did this "Miracle Bar" (Christmas pop-up) a few years at the Heathman. It was pretty cool.

    Absolute shitshow. You can't even walk through the crowd at times. The vibes are dope though. The Saks show is cool. The tree, not so much, just go at odd hours.

    Macys Hearld Square
    Union Square Christmas Market (that and Bryant Park are probably the best ones)
    Radio City Rocketts is actually pretty awesome
    FAO Schwartz

    Yeah NYC around this time of year is the best. Daughter's last year at home, thought we'd spoil her. I think all she cares about is meeting Sharpe in the lobby!!! Sigh......
