Re: Exciting things to do in NYC between Thanksgiving and NYE
One of my favorite things is the Holiday Train Show at the NY Botanical Garden (Bronx).
In general I avoid going to plays since I usually go off-season.
I would go to:
-Tree @Rockefeller Center
-Skating in either Rock Center or Wollman's Rink
-Sundays at Bryant Park (if it's not too cold) - hanging out as the kids go on the carousel.

Re: Exciting things to do in NYC between Thanksgiving and NYE
I must look at Saks, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor's and Barney's windows.
I must visit the tree at Rock Center at least once. Of course I curse myself for doing it because it's so crowded, but it's only a block away from work so it's not too bad.
I always go to FAO Schwartz. I don't buy anything, but there's something about that store that really brings on the holiday season for me

All my years living in NY and I never once went to the FAO store (ever) that seems like one of those Duh! places. Like DUH! why haven't I ever?

If you're up for going to the Bronx, the Zoo at night is cool too- thy have animal shaped moving light structures & ice sculptures & the sell hot chocolate & the indoor exhibits are open.
In Manhattan, you can go to Macy's & see Santa. My cousin I did that in our 20's, just because we had never done it before.

I love the tree at the Met. Here is it a couple of years ago.
