This is Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan on the West Side, it is a shopping centre with a few Restaurants, and is cool both fromthe outside as you can see it in the centre here with the glass dome, it really stands out.

But lets head inside to find the Palm Trees I mention in the title

And here we are inside the building and you can see the top of the palm trees in this shot, and also the cool lighting they have, at the time I took this shot a Christmas song was playing and the lights were pulsing and moving with the beat of the music it was quite cool to see but of course a photo doesn't give the feel of that

And this is from another angle after the music and light show finished and the lights switched to a stady green, as you can see its a pretty cool looking place inside as well as out, and sorry for those who were thinking i may have ventured away from festive in this post, you can also see they have quite a few trees spread around this area.

This looks really festive, lovely photos! I was curious when I read Palm trees in NYC, they grow profusely here in our sub tropical region ;) We have different species growing around our pool. It's been terribly horribly hot here, weird to think it's freezing on the other side of the world!

Yeah I think it is suite unique and so cool that they have them, as your battling the heat were battling the world :)

That's a cool structure. The light fixtures are pretty fascinating, too. They almost look like sun lamps.

Thanks for your visit and yes indeed those lamps are quite unique with the palm trees I wonder if they are some sort of sun lamp

Howdy tonight JJ! my gosh that place is cool..those floors are magnificent but then all the glass, lighting and palm trees are amazing too! Great job.

Yes indeed it’s like an oasis in the concrete jungle quite unique and I love visiting it

I think I like the lanterns/lighting more than the palms ha ha

Yes when the lights are colored as in these shits they do steal the attention away from the palm trees 🌴 for sure
I love this place it’s like an oasis in the city
