When do they put up the Christmas decorations in New York?
Will they be up by the beginning of December?

Rockefeller Centre has it's official lighting ceremony on December 2nd this year. The rest of the city usually lights up the day after Thanksgiving (end of November) as it's a HUGE pre-Christmas shopping day over there. http://www.rockefellercenter.com/index.php/section/5#/5/-1/-1/86/

Slightly off topic, but I got some 2 for 1 vouchers pushed through my letterbox for dominos pizza (not a huge fan of dominos anyway). But the vouchers were only valid if I called the store rather than ordered online, which I thought was a bit daft.

phone them up and tell them you have a phobia of using the telephone, and ask if they will let you use them online instead due to the mitigating circumstances.

I went 1st week in January this year and most places still had all the deco's up then, much better to go pre-xmas I'd say though, but it was around £400 cheaper to go in Jan

Slightly off topic, but you know those average speed cameras that they have along the contraflow systems on motorways? Well how do they photograph your number plate at night? I've never seen one flash, have you?

Think some (if not all) of the SPECS cameras have infra-red illuminators so they can see the plates even in the dark.

If going to NYC for Xmas flight prices usually go up lots around 14th Dec. When I used to go there often on business I'd always fly out around the 10th.
HTH.
