The theme for this year’s annual gingerbread house display by Le Parker Meridien and City Harvest is “Quintessential New York.” Bakeries and restaurants such as David Burke Kitchen, NORMA’S, and Rolling Pin Productions have interpreted mini gingerbread versions of the Chrysler Building, subways cars, and Coney Island, and more. The gingerbread display is open from December 6 to January 6 in Le Parker Meridien’s atrium.

If you’d like to vote for your favorite gingerbread house, you can either visit the hotel and purchase a $1 ticket, or you can vote on their website. All proceeds from the votes will go towards feeding hungry New Yorkers and will enter you automatically for a chance to win a 5-night stay at the Parker Palm Springs.
