Take in the sights — and the shops — this holiday season.

If you’re heading to Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park or another of New York’s biggest holiday attractions before 2014 rolls in, you’re in luck: Some of the Big Apple’s best stores and holiday bazaars are nearby. Head to one (or more) for a little pre-Christmas shopping, after-Christmas sale scouring or New Year’s Eve party shopping.

IF YOU GO TO: Rockefeller Center or Radio City Music Hall

SHOP AT: After checking out the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree or hitting the ice-skating rink there, you won’t have to look far for fine shopping. Rock Center itself has a plethora of stores (30 Rockefeller Plz., rockefellercenter.com), ranging from chains we love (including Anthropologie, J.Crew and Banana Republic) to specialty stores (such as Longchamp and Papyrus, great for last-minute holiday card needs). If you’re heading to a holiday party, be sure to stop by Dahlia, located in the underground Concourse. The gorgeous floral bouquets there are worthy of any host(ess) gift.

Continue your jaunt into holiday territory with a visit to Saks Fifth Avenue (611 Fifth Ave., 212-753-4000). Take a peek at the holiday windows, which tell the story of the legendary Yeti, as well as the impressive Snowflake Spectacular light show. Inside, look at the gorgeous, high-end wares and giftables.

IF YOU GO TO: Bryant Park to ice skate

SHOP AT: The Bryant Park Holiday Shops (40th to 42nd sts., btwn Fifth and Sixth aves., bryantpark.org) take over a significant portion of the park, with more than 125 stalls selling everything from jewelry to clothing to home goods to chow, many of which are produced locally. Ladies, gents and kids will all certainly find must-haves there.

Iconic department store Lord & Taylor is just a a few blocks from the park — and should be a stop on your shopping list. Take a trip back in time by viewing the store’s vintage New York-inspired holiday windows, then head inside to browse everything from beauty products to clothing to housewares.

Right next to the park is a holiday party dressing favorite that’ll get you nice and ready for New Year’s Eve: alice + olivia (80 W. 40th St., 212-840-0887). The feminine fave specializes in all things sparkly, flirty and, above all, fantastic.

IF YOU GO TO: Holiday Train Show at Grand Central Terminal

SHOP AT: Take in the New York Transit Museum’s 12th annual Holiday Train Show, then get a memento of New York City transit at the Transit Museum Store (Shuttle Passage, 212-878-0106). The shop sells everything from subway map umbrellas to MetroCard tree ornaments to transit history books — perfect for a NYC history buff.

Next, head over to Grand Central’s impressive Holiday Fair (Vanderbilt Hall, grandcentralterminal.com). Located inside the beautiful, historic Grand Central, it is the perfect setting to peruse giftables (for yourself, a family member or a pal) — no matter the temperature outside.

IF YOU GO TO: Lincoln Center

SHOP AT: After a classy jaunt to Lincoln Center (to see “The Nutcracker” or just take in the spot’s beauty), head to The Shops at Columbus Circle (60th St. and Broadway, theshopsatcolumbuscircle.com) for some good old-fashioned shopping. If you love clothes and accessories, there’s Coach, Satya jewelry, Wolford and Stuart Weitzman ... just to name a few. If food’s your thing, check out Godiva for a sweet treat. Everything from a store dedicated to Moleskin notebooks to New York Running Company round out the shopping center.

Attention discount shopping lovers! Century 21 (1972 Broadway, 212- 518-2121) has a bevy of designer labels for less every day. Run, don’t walk, there to score some great deals on great styles.
