There’s nothing like New York City during the Holiday season. Everywhere you look there are joyful reminders of the season–twinkling lights, Christmas tree vendors, magnificent displays, and modest expressions of holiday cheer. NYPL Digital Collections contain thousands of photos of New York City, including street scenes of the Holidays in the Big Apple.
