If you didn’t get a chance to do this last year, here’s some tips again for a holiday walk around Downtown. Many of these shots are thanks to Max Guliani, who did this route by bike. (Scroll down for a few festive Fidi pit stops.)

Start at the Brookfield mall to see the Luminaries installation (up till Jan. 2)

• Cross the highway at Liberty to Liberty Park to see the lighted deer there
• Down the stairs on the east and cross Liberty to Zuccotti Park and the lightshow on 127 Broadway
• Right on Broadway, left on Wall to get to the Stock Exchange tree on Broad and Wall
• Take Wall down to the water, but take a left on Front so you hit the top of the Seaport Mall on Fulton for the tree
• Down past the lighting of the historic Seaport buildings
• Last stop: the lit masts at the Seaport

Some other spots to catch:

• Citi lights up its street trees and a big pine at Greenwich and Beach
• They will let you walk into the lobby of 60 Hudson (at Thomas) to see the tree and the Art Deco glory that is that building
• Swing by the stoop at James Stanley’s office at 181 Hudson (at Vestry) for a photo op…
• …or the entrance to Fouquet’s New York on Desbrosses and Washington for the French version.

FESTIVE FIDI PIT STOPS (Check to see who’s open on Christmas Day.)

• I find The Dead Rabbit truly festive — maybe it’s that old-school Irish thing. Get a drink and a Scotch egg.
• I think there’s no reason not to get a Manhattan at Harry’s
• Guilty pleasures: I am always game for a beer at Fraunces Tavern — I just love the stools in the middle of the bar room, but a booth in the middle room is very cozy. There’s also a new piano bar upstairs.
