7. Gantry Plaza State Park
The Gantry Plaza State Park menorah might have the best view of all New York City’s giant menorahs! Located along the East River in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City, the giant illuminated menorah stands in front of a stunning view of the midtown Manhattan skyline.
As you enjoy snacks and music, you can admire the shining lights of the city from the Empire State Building and the United Nations Building, as well as from the glowing menorah! The lighting ceremony celebration on December 18th will include doughnuts, Chanukah cookies, chocolate gelt, and glow-in-the-dark treats, along with a special show from Emphasis Street Performers.
