点评:Christmas in New York is a popular destination and on many bucket lists, with the Rockefeller tree, Christmas window displays and a carriage in Central Park in the snow being the front page of the travel brochure choices. However, if this is as far as you manage to venture then I’m afraid you are missing out on the full New York Christmas experience, and buddy, it ain’t in Manhattan. The Christmas lights in Brooklyn began in the eighties with Lucy Spata in the Dyker Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. Nearly four decades later and the area shines brighter than the lights on broadway and Times Square combined. Displays boast extreme Christmas decorations that include animatronic characters and in one case a 15 foot Santa. Getting to the area is not easy on public transport and in a private car, FUHGETTABOUDIT!! However, the kind people of A Slice Of Brooklyn bus tours are on hand to get you to the hot spots and a few bonus places too. We were picked in Union Square by the bus with a warm Brooklyn welcome and a local tour guide that was informative and entertaining. Once you get to Dyker Heights you are guided on foot through the area, which is perfect for photography and getting those all important social media posts and unique Christmas photos for loved ones. You get tips for the best photo ops and staff are happy to take photos for you, so you don’t have to trust strangers with your phone. There’s plenty of rime to take everything in and absorb the Christmas atmosphere. As a bonus after you get back on the bus you get taken to Sam the Greeks house which is decked out with stunning lights, Christmas trees and hundreds of festive ornaments. The whole experience made my Christmas this year and I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you to Tony and the whole Slice of Brooklyn team for an unforgettable experience.
翻译:纽约的圣诞节是一个受欢迎的目的地,也是许多人的愿望清单上的一个,洛克菲勒树、圣诞橱窗展示和雪中中央公园的马车都是旅游手册选择的首页。然而,如果这是你所能冒险的,那么我担心你会错过完整的纽约圣诞节体验,伙计,这不是在曼哈顿。布鲁克林的圣诞彩灯始于八十年代布鲁克林戴克高地附近的露西·斯帕塔 (Lucy Spata)。近四十年后,该地区的光芒比百老汇和时代广场的灯光加起来还要亮。展示品拥有极端的圣诞装饰,其中包括电子动画人物,其中一个是 15 英尺高的圣诞老人。乘坐公共交通工具和私家车前往该地区并不容易,FUHGETTABOUDIT!然而,布鲁克林一角巴士之旅的友善人员随时可以带您前往热门景点和一些额外的地方。巴士在联合广场接我们,受到了布鲁克林的热烈欢迎,当地的导游知识渊博、风趣幽默。到达戴克高地后,您将步行穿过该地区,这里非常适合摄影,并为亲人拍摄所有重要的社交媒体帖子和独特的圣诞照片。您可以获得最佳拍照技巧的提示,工作人员很乐意为您拍照,因此您不必相信陌生人会用您的手机。这里有充足的雾凇可以容纳一切并吸收圣诞节的气氛。作为奖励,当您回到巴士后,您将被带到希腊山姆的房子,那里装饰着令人惊叹的灯光、圣诞树和数百件节日装饰品。整个经历让我今年过圣诞节,我极力推荐这次旅行。感谢托尼和整个布鲁克林切片团队给我们带来了难忘的经历。
