The Financial District park fills with clusters of lit Christmas trees each season, and photographers prize it for the bokeh effects the dense lights create. It pairs easily with the nearby Brookfield Place Luminaries.

Best time to arrive. Sunset in New York is around 4:29 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:00 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 26°F, so dress for standing around outside.
