Begin Your Holiday Story at Winters Eve at Lincoln Square Trent Warner November 23, 2014 Featured Alright, so over the past couple weeks we have covered holiday festivals and fairs in Union Square, Bryant Park, Grand Central and Rockefeller Center (which is pretty much all of the major holiday centers in New York). However, we haven’t covered what may be the pinnacle of New York City holiday entertainment. Lincoln Center is the cultural hearth of the Season of Giving in the Five Boroughs. There, you’ll find George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker (as well as some of his other works) and holiday performances from the New York Philharmonic. But, that’s not all you’ll find at Lincoln Square this holiday season. Like Clara in The Nutcracker, you will be transported to a different world filled with holiday miracles and masterpieces that are sure to make your holiday visit one to remember. Here’s what you might find this year at Winters Eve at Lincoln Square.
