★★★★★Friends getaway
“One of the best places to go in Christmas time. Less crowded than NYC, overall if you go just after the sunset. It’s going to be cold, so you better go wearing layers.”
★★★★★Couples
“This was a fabulous place to visit at Christmas. We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, went to Dunmow and looked at New York Skyline at sunset then walked to the nearest MTA underground which was at Clark St about 2 blocks away then changed at Atlantic Terminal for 79th Street.”
