Today is the Christmas Eve and I want to share some photos we took at the Rockefeller center. As a matter of fact we went there yesterday, and it was a very cold evening! Hope you like this first picture, the Christmas tree is very pretty, and the light on the top is spectacular! It looks like a star just fell from the skies!
As you can see, many people gathered around the tree, despite the cold weather and the Pandemic issues. But everybody was wearing masks and there were lots of police men to make sure everything is ok. I even saw a couple of ambulances standing by, just in case, I guess. Well... better be prepared than sorry, right?
This post is about market, so I want to outline one little aspect of the trading part of life: food market. New York City is famous for its street food carts, there is one at every corner. Hot dogs, pretzels, nuts, sandwiches. People love it!
Look at this line for Halal Gyros! These guys are famous for real. And the price of gyro went up to $10. I remember when it was $3!!!!
And look at me waiting for my pretzel to get warmed up. I love those pretzels, they went up to $5... when did the time fly? They were just $1 a few years ago!
I will end my post with a shot of Radio City. The Rocketts show had been cancelled again, due to Covid. Many people paid lots of money for tickets in advance, now they are getting refunds. Here's a big announcement at the entrance:
Christmas Spectacular Radio City Rocketts
We regret that we are unable to continue the Christmas Spectacular this season due to increasing challenges from the Pandemic.
We had hoped we could make it through the season and are honored to have hosted hundreds of thousands of fans at more than 100 shows over the last seven weeks. We have loved bringing back the cherished tradition that helps usher in the holiday season in New York City and look forward to welcoming fans back to Radio City Music Hall in 2022.
All tickets for impacted shows will be fully refunded at the point of purchase.
