We will follow strict Covid 19 protocols for this event. You will not look at the famous holiday decorations in the same way!  Join us for this fun afternoon of exploring, socializing, and holiday spirit as you set out to visit and find clues that are a part of the famous holiday decorations from Herald Square to Rock Center.  Along the way you will also learn some interesting historical facts about the city that you live in.  The group will meet at outside at The Playwright Irish Pub on 35th and 5th then head out for the hunt.

Here is how it works:

-Arrive at The Playwright  If you don’t have a team we will set you up with other fun people (4-5 per team).  98% of those attending will be coming on their own.
-After you are set up on a team we will send you out for 90 minutes to find as many of the clues as you can.
-Teams return to The Bar for food and drinks as we tally up the scores and announce the winners.
 
 

What will we be looking for?  You will be looking for clues that are part of the famous holiday decorations that are between Herald Square and Rockefeller Center (how many nutcrackers are in Rock Center, what colors are the ball on the Bryant Park Tree,  How many elves in the Macy’s Windows, etc)  You will also have to look for other historical clues that are part of the history of NYC!
