Editor's Pick: 

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 5:30 p.m. On Fridays, lightings usually take place at 3:30 p.m. and at 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Take care how you approach Grand Army Plaza Manhattan due to construction on the Apple Store and street closures for the nearby residential-presidential tower.

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