All Your Plans For The Next Few Weeks: R29's Holiday Events Guide
Let’s face it, fall has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for us New Yorkers. Superstorm Sandy, a way-too-early snowfall, and power outages haven’t exactly been the warmest welcome to the winter months. That’s where we come in — we’re here to make the kickoff to your holiday season as stress free as possible. In the spirit of giving, we put together a handy guide to plan out the start of your festive NYC game-plan (everyone’s gotta have one, right?). With chic sales, decadent dinners, succulent sweets, booze galore, and even a plan to stay fit, you’ve never been more covered. So, grab your pumpkin spice latte and put the Mariah Christmas album on repeat, because holiday cheer couldn't come a moment too soon.
