There's something special about New York during the holidays. Maybe it's the refreshing feeling of crisp cool air after the sticky hot summer has ended, the aroma of roasted nuts from the corner food vendors, or the cozy holiday markets with handmade gifts and warm spiced cider. Without a doubt, there are many reasons to love the city his time of year. Our New York Green Gift Guide includes items that will help conjure the sprit of the city - no matter where you live.
