The best holiday window displays in NYC, mapped

Where to find festive window displays in Manhattan

One of the best things to do in New York City during the holiday season is to wander through Midtown—if you can stand the crowds, anyway—and check out extravagant window displays at stores like Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and more. It's one great, free way to celebrate the holidays in style, and even the biggest Grinch can appreciate the creativity involved in bringing these displays to life.

Here, you'll find the biggest displays collected in handy map form, with Instagram photos (because of course they're endlessly Instagrammed) that show off what to expect this year.
