The Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park really does feel like stepping into a winter wonderland. Browse over 120 glass-walled booths for gifts like cozy Himalayan slippers from Nepal and antique maps, then snack on unique treats like Hungarian chimney cakes (think: a sweet pull-apart pretzel rolled in various toppings) and a bar dedicated to chocolate treats. Bonus: Celsius, the restaurant overlooking the massive ice rink at the center of the village, serves boozy cocktails like the Winter Berry Moscow Mule made with Stoli Strasberi vodka.
