Christmas Tree Arrives at NYC's Rockefeller Center for 2016 Holiday Season
The Christmas Tree that goes up at Rockefeller Center is an annual tradition.
MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — The holiday season is upon us, and to most New Yorkers and residents of the tri-state area, a cherished moment of the season is the giant Christmas Tree that goes up every year at Rockefeller Center.
And the tree has arrived. It reached Midtown Manhattan late Friday night and is a 94-foot Norway Spruce, reports Curbed NY. The tree is also reportedly the second-largest to arrive at the center.
