Christmas in New York: 15 Festive Things to Do in NYC

A monthlong holiday pop-up shop, LTD by Lizzie Tisch, has opened on the Upper East Side, and I can't wait to circle through, hoping that a perfect last-minute gift will catch my eye. The shop touches on all things fashion, art, travel, beauty, and design, all whimsically presented in the space. I'm especially looking forward to checking out Paul Arnhold Glass, which is blown in Red Hook, and Le Lion's astrology embroidered merch. I can feel safe knowing the store is enforcing social distancing and partnering with CLEAR to use HEALTH PASS—a touch-free entry system that scans customers’ temperatures and gathers contact tracing info. –A.E.
