Expect

  • More visitors near Christmas/New Year.
  • Earlier sunsets = prime golden hour windows.
  • Festive lighting around Lower Manhattan adds evening atmosphere.

Planning Moves

  • Book flexible or VIP tickets for holiday sunsets.
  • Dress in layers; winds shift quickly near the water.

Tip: Aim for weekday evenings just before major holidays for a calmer glow.
