My husband, myself and our 21 year old son will be in NYC for about 6 hours on Saturday and want to see Christmas sights. We've been several times before but never during the Christmas season. What shouldn't we miss? (I know there is another thread but it didn't get many responses). Also, any suggestions for lunch? We are either driving in or taking public transportation from Kinnelon NJ. Any thoughts on what's best? Any parking gargages near the sights? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Here is one place to start:

Consider hiring phototrektours.com and ask him to design a route. Use iconparking.com and reserve a space in a convenient location (either midtown west if you'll enter thru the Lincoln Tunnel or upper west side if you come over the GW bridge). For this Sat. public trans. might be best but don't know what your options are from Kinnelon.
