Grab the kids and hotfoot to every kid's dreamworld, FAO Schwarz, the enormous toy department store where it genuinely is entirely possible to play the piano with your dancing feet on the gigantic floor keyboard, a la the Tom Hanks' movie, Big. Next, you'll wish to roam to Macy's Santaland, a real winter wonderland stuffed with toy trains, elves, Xmas trees and various other vacation scenarios sure to evoke wonder in the whole family group. If you haven't overdosed on the vacation crowds, make sure to order tickets to the Radio City Music Hall's Xmas Spectacular, where you'll not just see lots of dancing Santas but the high-kicking legs of the iconic Rockettes.
