NYC's Top Architects Create Gingerbread City for the Holidays
This December, the Seaport will transform into a whimsical gingerbread wonderland. From December 5 to 28, 19 Fulton Street will host The Gingerbread City — a charming display crafted by New York’s finest architects, engineers, and designers.
The exhibit showcases intricate gingerbread versions of city landmarks such as parks, brownstones, and skyscrapers. The creators even use details like flowing icing waterfalls, shimmering snow, and tiny penguins on sugar bridges to evoke a festive winter scene.
Interactive Workshops
Visitors can join hands-on workshops led by professional bakers and designers to learn how to create their own edible cityscapes. These sessions invite both aspiring architects and sweets enthusiasts to try their skills with dough, icing, and candy.
Holiday Spirit and Community

The event combines art, craft, and seasonal joy — making it one of the must-see holiday attractions in New York City this year.
