These all look so amazing! I don’t know who invented the idea of pop-ups, but they made the world a better place. I’d love to see all of these.
Wow, New York really is the place to be this time of year! That Dylan’s Candy bar has my name written all over it for sure!!
Oh these look like so much fun! Despite living so close to the city, I don’t get there nearly enough. But I want to see some of these.
What cool places to spend some quality time with family! I think we’d have so much fun exploring and shopping.
There are a lot of interesting holiday pop ups. I need to visit some with my family. I like those in the Bryant Park and Union Square.
These look like fun events to check out and see this holiday season.
That’s awesome! I saw that when I went there earlier this week! Love it!
