This New York City Restaurant Spends $60,000 Every Year on Christmas Decorations!

There are 15,000 ornaments inside — a true sight to behold.


During the holidays, the inside of Rolf's German Restaurant in New York City looks a little bit like a tornado whipped through Santa's factory and left every Christmas decoration that exists inside. That's because the famous watering hole gets totally decked out in100,000 lights, 15,000 ornaments, thousand of icicles, and about 800 dolls (yes, you read that right) each year.

According to the restaurant manager, Suhul Uddin, the tradition started with the previous owner. But he says the decorations get more elaborate every year and currently costs the restaurant between $60,000 and $65,000 annually — and it takes six men working overnight for six weeks to hang all of the elaborate decor.

Which is why it's a good thing Rolf's doesn't just celebrate a 25-day season: The restaurant gets a head start and starts decorating in September — and they keep it festive until April. Meaning if you can't get a spot at the popular destination during Christmastime (the line to get in often wraps around the corner) you can catch it during the spring.

Here are just a few of the many dolls tucked into the decor of the restaurant:


And here are some of the thousands of icicles that hang from the ceiling:


The restaurant also serves festive drinks, like spiced eggnog and mulled wine. We're partial to these festive cocktails that are garnished with cinnamon sticks.





They really know how to do Christmas right.
