iCapture: New York City Holidays in Pictures Published on Friday, December 9, 2011 by caryn

As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world.
Pearl S. Buck

New York City is one of my favorite cities in the world…glitzy and glamourous…whimsical and sentimental…contemporary yet historic. There are not many cities I’d want to live in, outside of Southern California. But oh how I’d love to spend a year or three in New York.

When I learned I’d be heading to New York City to cover the red carpet premiere of War Horse, I can’t tell you the flood of emotions I felt…after being unable to visit this glorious city in September, I was overwhelmed with joy at the opportunity to see this city during the holidays.

For eight incredible hours, I walked, shopped, ate, and soaked in as much of New York City as I could possibly fit in. And at the end of the day I was tired…the kind of satisfied fatigue that leaves you content. While I had my “official” camera in tow, I managed to snag some gorgeous photos of the city with my iPhone.

Yes...I LOVE this city!

Me, too, Caryn! But I would need a TON of money to afford that flat on Central Park West.

Love these pics, Caryn – not bad for a phone! My favorite is the ice skaters at Rockefeller Center. Oh, to be in NYC at Christmas time! There is literally no place in the world quite like it. Glad you got a chance to see all this cool stuff!

  Aw…thanks Eva….It’s interesting how LA doesn’t do as much in the way of decorating….

It makes my heart hurt to read it. This is probably the first year in the last 6 or 7 that we haven’t been there for the holidays. We are happy to be back home in Houston now, but we loved living near NYC.

How neat! My mom grew up in New York City, I’ve always wanted to take a trip to see how she experienced the holidays as a kid!
