The tree at Rockefeller Center may have its own prime-time special, but for seasonal spectacle it’s hard to compete with the lights of Dyker Heights (pictured). Since the mid-nineteen-eighties, the residents of this Brooklyn neighborhood have been turning their homes into high-wattage displays between Thanksgiving and the New Year. (The event has become so synonymous with Christmas in New York City that it’s the theme of a holiday window at Saks Fifth Avenue this year.) Optimal viewing is between dusk and 9 P.M.
