Here comes Christmas!

Christmas is coming! Get the rest of your holiday shopping done at the Union Square Holiday Market!  Until December 24^th, enjoy this European-style market with over 150 local and national vendors.

To get there, just take the F to Queens Blvd. and transfer to the Q to 14^th Street/Union Square. Don’t forget some cash – no cards accepted!

Didn’t get a chance to catch the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center? You’re in luck! On Tuesday, December 10^th, head over to the tree lighting in Madison Square Park! The 11^th annual tree lighting ceremony festivities kick off at 3:30PM, with the count down of the lighting beginning at 5PM. Don’t miss another chance to celebrate Christmas with hot chocolate, treats, and more! To get there, just take the F to Forest Hills and transfer to the R, getting off at 23^rd Street. Bring your camera!

Has anyone heard of MGMT? Known best as a ‘hipster’ style of music, MGMT is a relatively fresh band, only a few years old. On Friday, December 13^th (spooky) they will be performing at Barclays Center! Tickets are super cheap, ranging between $35 and $50. Doors open at 8PM, don’t be late!
