How many DUers went to Radio City Music Hall Christmas Shows
I went twice and loved them way back in the days. We're watching one on MSG right now - well I am - hubby's dozing off.:D

1. I did
it was a tradition, we'd take the train from upstate to NYC to do a bit of shopping, take in the decorations and see a show. :D

2. I went to quite a few while growing up...
I lived about 40 miles east of the city and our family went quite often into the city during the Christmas to see the tree and take in the Christmas show at Radio City. I always looked forward to going and always had a great time.

5. I've been to it twice, quite a few years ago
Ticket prices are way too high to take my niece and nephew now, in a few years they will be able to truly appreciate it, and we'll head in.

A visit to Top of the Rock (observation deck at Rockefeller Center) and a decent dinner will be part of the day.

15. I'm from NY
I spent most of my life in Westchester County (just north of NYC). I remember seeing things about it from a very early age.
