We are quickly approaching November and the start of the Holiday Season. Many of us are making plans for the few vacation days we have left in 2009. So, I decided to post the 5th Annual New York City Holiday Toy Train Tour.

MACY’S


Macy’s Tree of Lights on Herald Square

Macy’s Herald Square covers the entire city block between Broadway and 7th Avenue, and from 34th Street to 35th Street. This year the great Lionel Layout will be back in Santa Land. You will have to wait on line to see Santa, but the layout is worth the wait. Santa Land is scheduled to open as usual the day after Thanksgiving.

Next we walk east on 34th Street to 5th Avenue. You will know you’re there because the Empire State Building is on the southwest corner of this intersection. The observation deck is open if you are interested in getting an unbelievable view of the Big Apple.

NYC Fan,

Thank you for a great tour. It makes me want to head to NYC for a holiday tour. My childhood home is Chicago, and I have often thought of going back there to do a holiday walk through the Loop.

Looking forward to ‘taking the tour’ next month. Northwoods, come to Chicago! See the tree and Christmas market at the Daley Ctr, see the windows at Macys nee Fields. Walk up Michigan Ave. Take in the holiday displays at the Lincoln Park Zoo and Field Museum. See the trains at the Museum of Sci and Industry…
