Despite all the yuletide razzle-dazzle oozing from Manhattan during the holiday season, no trip to the Big Apple would be complete without making your way to Dyker Heights. With over 100,000 people flocking to this suburban Brooklyn neighborhood each year to witness some of the most over-the-top, opulent decorations in the world, it's no surprise why the hyped "Dyker Lights" have become a can't-miss seasonal attraction.
From ginormous inflatable Santas and snowmen to colorful light displays spilling over homes, roofs, and gardens — Christmas carols are even blasted from loudspeakers — get ready to continuously pick up your dropping jaw. Trust me, Clark Griswold has nothing on this luminous neighborhood.
Just don't forget to bundle up before heading over, as you'll be zigzagging your way outside for hours in disbelief. Oh, and sunglasses are also a good idea!
