It’s nice that Luminaries will stay up a while longer, but that kinda confirms my thought that it isn’t particularly “Christmasy”. It looks great, but it is an odd holiday display.
I totally agree. The old Christmas light display in the Winter Garden when the place was called “The World Financial Center” was spectacular. I hope Brookfield Place brings them back next year.

The restaurant space at 225 West Broadway, where Finders Lane was to be, is apparently back on the market.

I was walking by today as a new “for rent” banner went up. Will see what I can find out from Flinders Lane.
