Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden
Just twenty-odd minutes from Grand Central, the New York Botanical Garden is a lush wonderland smack in the center of the Bronx. And each winter the conservatory there hosts the Holiday Train Show, a seasonal paean to the city.
Model trains travel along 1,200 feet of track near and through miniature replicas of mostly well-known New York buildings, all constructed with botanicals, including twigs, leaves, seeds, stems, berries, and other plant parts. Our favorites ranged from the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty to St. Patrick's Cathedral to the Guggenheim (with shellacked mushrooms standing in for the concrete circles) and the Washington Square Park Arch to the Met and Central Park's Angel of the Fountain.
