NYC
On Friday night, some friends and I gathered together for a holiday dinner/drinks at Alameda, and then decided to go across the street to The Springs for more drinks. The Springs was…incredible. It was completely decked out for Christmas (lights everywhere, TVs playing yule logs over every booth) and everyone there was dressed to the theme. (Outfits ranged from festive sweaters to full on nativity scene costumes.) Te DJ was playing great music and everyone was dancing. It was such a good vibe, it felt like crashing someone’s excellent holiday party (and stumbling across it felt like Christmas/New York magic). Turns out, it’s their annual Ho Ho Holiday Lounge. If you are in the area and want a good festive time between now and January 1, I highly recommend it!
Have a great Sunday! ✨
