Our official tree is at City Hall (just a couple blocks from the mall), and thankfully looks like this:

I may be a little bias but I think the Rockefeller tree is the best. (One year the tree they selected came from my town!) Hope you have a good trip to New York, the city at Christmas time is the best. I believe they will be having the tree lighting this week sometime, it is always a big thing on TV.
The Toronto City Hall tree looks great.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
