And in Greenpoint, The Springs has turned into Donner and Blitzen's reindeer lounge for the holidays.

Head to Union Square for that hart-to-find gift. With more than 100 vendors, it's one of the city's biggest markets and they have a little of everything. 

If you work up an appetite skating in Bryant Park, the holiday shops just a few shops off the ice are serving up bites from the city's best food vendors.
