There's still time to get some holiday shopping done and if department stores aren't your thing then Bust Magazine's Craftacular may have just the gift you were looking for.Celebrate the holiday's and spend some quality time with your family by checking out revamped versions of the Nutcracker at FIAF and Peter and the Wolf at the Guggenheim, or by making dreidels at the Hanukkah festival at the 92 street Y. After a long work week or chasing the kids around the house I'm sure you could use some grown-up down time. I've listed a few date night events that include cooking a traditional Mexican holiday meal at a popular NYC restaurant, sampling a cocktail from Dylan's Candy Bar made with Pop-rocks while enjoying the Holiday Train Show and bar crawling while dressed up like Santa.
