Lionel just sent out a message about a cool event they'll be hosting in midtown Manhattan / New York City. If you've read the old posts about the walking NYC Christmas tour and all the things to see then this is right up your alley. You can find all the info at the link below. My wife and I were in the city last year, I wish this was offered then!

Looks very cool but its not downtown its midtown
Thanks Ben,
You'll have to forgive my Midwestern-ness. Edited the original post.
Thanks for the info but $150 bucks 
!!!!
Bot garden tour ticket is $20 unless you are a member. It is spectacular display and well worth a visit. GC tour is also $20? If you already know the city you could use a Metro card to ride the subways from GC to Macy's and then out to the gardens and it won't be $150 but it won't be nothing plus you would have to wait around for the trains and its a decent jaunt from the train station to the entrance to the gardens. If you're in a motor coach you get pretty close to door to door transportation. a) This isn't everyones cup of tea and b) We are talking about NYC which isn't known for "low cost"
