Christmas in New York: What's Your Christmas?

(0 ratings)
Quest image more than 2
Christmas in New York's Gilded Age was a time when evergreens were hauled into town in horse drawn trucks, candles glowed in townhouse windows, and Clement Clarke Moore wrote about a jolly Santa and prancing reindeer. 

This game brings you into an earlier era of Christmas in the city -- through the gaslit glamour of historic neighborhoods. There are treasures along the way but we end in a park with a holiday message that Gilded Age New Yorkers left for us to remember.
