"Billy will undoubtedly light up the Upper West Side with holiday cheer to kick off this annual celebration that has become one of New York City’s iconic public holiday events. Whether you live here or are visiting, whether you are a foodie, a student, a retiree, a theater or folk music enthusiast, there is something for everyone at Winter’s Eve and we encourage all to join in on the fun!"
