This is Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan on the West Side, it is a shopping centre with a few Restaurants, and is cool both fromthe outside as you can see it in the centre here with the glass dome, it really stands out.

But lets head inside to find the Palm Trees I mention in the title

And here we are inside the building and you can see the top of the palm trees in this shot, and also the cool lighting they have, at the time I took this shot a Christmas song was playing and the lights were pulsing and moving with the beat of the music it was quite cool to see but of course a photo doesn't give the feel of that

And this is from another angle after the music and light show finished and the lights switched to a stady green, as you can see its a pretty cool looking place inside as well as out, and sorry for those who were thinking i may have ventured away from festive in this post, you can also see they have quite a few trees spread around this area.
