The iconic Macy’s Herald Square Department Store on Broadway between 34th and 35th Street in NYC. I took this picture around 1:30 in-the-morning with temperatures in the mid thirties. Built in 1902, this location was the largest store in the world from 1924 to 2009.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for visiting by blog, and for your wonderful emails and comments. This is my last post for 2010. Before I sign off, I’d like to wish all of you a heartfelt Merry Christmas. I’ll return in January, just in time to wish you a Happy New Year.

Wish You Were Here, this year’s theme for Bergdorf Goodman’s Holiday Windows, is a fantasical spectacle of delight! Each window represents a different destination coupled with different modes of transportation.

While browsing in BG, I discovered a limited edition book, Windows at Bergdorf Goodman, which showcases their jaw-dropping window displays. This collectors edition retails for $550.00, and is available here.

Barneys Holiday Windows 2010

A Foodie Holiday is this year’s theme for Barneys New York Holiday Windows. The windows feature caricatures of celebrated chefs; and photo 2 depicts the celebrity chefs quarreling and engaged in a food fight.

On a side note, I used to work as a pastry cook for Wolfgang Puck’s now defunct Malibu restaurant, Granita. I hope my busy schedule will allow me to share mouthwatering (and yes, caloric…heavy sigh) pastry recipes with you in 2011.

These snapshots were taken during last week’s trip to New York City. Highlights from my marvelous and merry yuletide getaway include: Champagne Afternoon Tea Service at the Four Seasons Hotel, Cheese and Wine pairing flights at Artisanal Bistro, seeing the Broadway Musical “Spider Man: Turn Off The Dark” directed by Julie Taymor, visiting Rockefeller Plaza (where these shots were taken), and browsing in many stores along Madison and 5th Avenues.

Have a beautiful and joyous week!
