2. Sixth Avenue

Midtown is known for its oversized holiday lights and ornaments—a popular attraction to snap when the most wonderful time of year rolls around. In 2020, they've added a small candy bench—a lovely touch and the perfect place to plop the tots for a picture. Find it across the street from Radio City Music Hall!
