2025 Must-See Gingerbread Displays Across America

"Despite being an “amateur” competition, the gingerbread structures at the Museum of the City of New York, rightfully depicting New York City landmarks and icons, are fastidious feats of cookie construction. The 2025 display features immediately recognizable NYC structures such as the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and Chrysler Building, plus lesser-known landmarks such as the Hotel Chelsea, Governor’s Island Soissons Landing ferry terminal, and — improbable but impressive — Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. A bagel and coffee rendered in gingerbread will make you long for a snack, but you won’t be entirely sure whether you’re craving something sweet or savory. Amy’s Bread at the Museum has traditional person-shaped gingerbread cookies for sale, as well as bagels, so you’re covered either way." - Pamela Vachon

The Best Museums in New York City, From the Met to the New York Transit Museum | Condé Nast Traveler

"In a Colonial-style building near the top of Central Park, this under-the-radar museum holds more than 1.5 million pieces—photography, paintings, drawings, furniture, decorative objects, manuscripts—all focused on the history of New York City’s five boroughs. Because it’s relatively out of the way for many tourists, the visitors who do make it here often bring a little more enthusiasm than your average museum-goer." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
