Gather around the 32-foot-high, gold-colored, 4,000-pound steel holiday icon at Grand Army Plaza (Fifth Avenue and West 59th Street, across the street from The Plaza hotel) to kick off the annual Jewish Festival of Lights.

Lightings generally take place around 5:30pm Sunday - Thursday. On Fridays, lightings usually take place at 3:30pm, and on Saturdays at 8pm. 

(The other "Largest" Menorah, but not in the world, is in Brooklyn)
