☞ WALK: Holiday Trees at Columbia Campus

Walking pass Columbia's main campus last week, we noticed that the holiday tree lights were being installed. If you haven't seen this seasonal tradition, come by sometimes in the early evening and check out the winter wonderland. All the trees in the main arcade have thousands of white lights wrapped around them and the overall affect is quite uplifting. In addition, the campus proper itself is worth the visit with its grand scale, McKim, Mead and White neoclassical buildings. Take the 1 train to 116th Street and head for the main gate on the east side of Broadway. Click image to enlarge for details. Photo by Ulysses
