Weekday Fun: Hanukkah Celebrations, Star Wars, Greenwich Tree Lighting
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Sunday marks the first night of Hanukkah and there's no shortage of ways to celebrate the Festival of Lights in New York City this week. Take to the ice for Chanukah on Ice, check out olive pressing workshops for families or view the nightly lightings of World's Largest Menorahs in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Other highlights for the week of December 7-11 include the opening night of Dance Patrelle's Yorkville Nutcracker, a music-filled Christmas tree lighting in Greenwich Village and a FREE screening of Return of the Jedi.
Looking for fun ways to get in the holiday spirit? If you haven't gotten your Christmas tree street-side yet, how about a day trip to a local tree farm to cut your own? Or perhaps a cozy Polar Express Santa train ride with the kids. If you're already feeling a touch of holiday overload, the science spectacular that has nothing to do with the season, That Physics Show, is in town.

Our best wishes for a happy Hanukkah!
