There's nothing quite like Christmas in New York to get us all misty-eyed and nostalgic, so we've decided to go all out and collect our favorite vintage shots of Gotham in holiday mode to compliment our modern-day photos of Christmas in NYC. So grab a hot chocolate—and throw in a shot of something stronger, because that's what they did in the old days, right?—and feast your eyes on these lovely images. If these scenes take you to a warm and fuzzy place, get wrapped up in our then-and-now comparison of NYC in the holidays. Stylish and festive New Yorkers of yesteryear, we salute you!
