Opening Ceremony, New York

Starting at 2 p.m., the crowds flock to Rockefeller Plaza to witness the spectacular Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of perseverance to wait so long in the cold. Restaurants in the immediate vicinity, therefore, offer special parties that guarantee a glimpse of the opening of the famous Christmas tree. We tested one of the VIP parties to tell you about it.
