Winter's Eve at Lincoln Square

This evening, I took a walk along Broadway from Columbus Circle up to 68th Street, as a festival called Winter's Eve was taking place. There was live music, food tastings (costing anywhere from $1 - $4 each), wonderfully hot beverages like cocoa and apple cider, and of course a lit Christmas tree. The food was from some expensive restaurants, and really smelled good in the cold air that still had a linger of rain from earlier today. Here are a few pictures I snapped, which show that the Holiday Spirit has indeed arrived :)

-> Ice sculpture of a reindeer (front).


-> A Mexican band performing amid much holiday cheer.


-> Magical creatures on stilts.


-> And last, but certainly not least - the Christmas tree. Isn't it hauntingly beautiful?
