The holiday season in New York City is like nowhere else, and the five boroughs treat their annual Christmas light decorations as a neighborhood sport. The city transforms into one giant and festive walking tour from late November through New Year's. Some spots turn their brownstones into Las Vegas with their Christmas lights, while others keep it classy and cozy. If you're trying to plan a night out to see the best of the city's bright holiday lights, these NYC neighborhoods consistently deliver the most wow factor, with decorations plastered all across residents' houses and apartment buildings.

More than 600 pounds of illegal marijuana products are off the streets following an alleged kidnapping in Dyker Heights that led authorities to a basement safe roompacked with narcotics, police said. The discovery was made by officers from the 68th Precinct in coordination with the New York City's Sheriff's Joint Task Force. Photos released by the sheriff's office show what officials estimate to be at least 500 pounds of marijuana flowers and over 100 pounds of THC-infused products recovered from the home.
