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.
