O holy light
The 8 best tree lightings and
Santa sightings across the boro
By Ben Verde
Brooklyn Paper
It’s a beloved holiday tradition!
It’s beginning to look a
lot like Christmas, and Brooklyn
knows the best way to celebrate
the most wonderful time
of the year: gazing with wonder
upon a spectacularly lit evergreen
tree, or chumming it up
with St. Nick himself. To help
you get into the holiday spirit,
here is our guide to all the best
tree-lightings and Santa sightings
in the borough.
Festive farm
Brooklynites looking for
a down-home holiday celebration
should look no further
than the Lefferts Historic
House. The 19th-century
farming village in Prospect
Park will host “Winter on a
Flatbush Farm,” where you can watch
a master spinner turn wool into thread,
enjoy some sweet Dutch treats, and
welcomes St. Nick when he rides in on
horseback!
Lefferts Historic House 452 Flatbush
Ave at Empire Boulevard in Prospect
Lefferts Gardens, (718) 789-2822, www.
prospectpark.org. Dec. 1; 1–4 pm. $3

A red-sauce Christmas
Brooklyn’s oldest Italian restaurant will
host a holiday dinner and tree lighting,
complete with caroling and hot toddies
that are sure to leave the adults in the room
filled with the Christmas spirits.

America’s Downtown will be treated

by Okamoto Studio, jam out to live music,
and munch on hot cocoa and donuts.
