Fifth Avenue Holiday Open Streets will run from 12 to 6 p.m., serving as a nice break from the constant gridlock traffic New Yorkers often find themselves in during this time of year.
Maps of the street, featuring all the vendors and experiences that will be available, can be found in certain stores and hotels along Fifth Avenue.
