After 8 years of working for the same company, it has become a tradition for my boss to take our group to a very special place for Christmas which embodies the true spirit of Christmas. One time the location he chose was one of the oldest restaurants in New York City located in the Greenwich Village which is a perfect representation of the city’s tradition, history and beauty: “One if by Land, Two if by Sea”.
We walked inside from the typical frosty and cold New York City December night and immediately felt the warmth radiating this amazing place from all sides. The piano in the corner was sending sweet musical waves throughout the restaurant of Christmas classics, complemented by the harmonic accompaniment of a horn player. The decorations were simply breathtaking with a real life-sized Christmas tree in the middle of the dining area, elegantly decorated and complimented by the ornaments strategically placed in all directions. The low orange lighting perfected the mood and overall ambiance of the bar where we ordered the most delicious champagne I have ever tasted. We cheered to yet another brilliant year together and to the beauty of life and the holidays. As a native New Yorker, I feel confident in stating that it was truly the most memorable New York City Christmas experience of my life.
