Kenia Pittman, director of exhibition design operations at the New York Botanical Garden, towers over the Brooklyn Bridge as she talks. But this is more of a baby Brooklyn Bridge than the real thing. While few structures are as symbolic of Brooklyn as this signature bridge, Pittman describes the architecture of the Garden's massive miniature, built for its holiday train exhibit, along with a series of other landmarks from Brooklyn and beyond, constructed to scale.

Christmas in New York City sparkles. Twinkling lights, snowflakes, and energetic crowds are part of the fun. Millions of visitors - and locals like myself - can't get enough of holiday attractions. There's so much to see in New York during Christmas, from the spectacular tree at Rockefeller Center to the precision kicks of the Radio City Rockettes. But the fun and beauty of the season go way beyond that.

And with that comes the return of the New York Transit Museum's Holiday Train Show in Grand Central Terminal. New Yorkers of all ages will enjoy a whimsical holiday experience at the 21st rendition of the legendary exhibit, which opens on Nov. 13.
