Dyker Height (NY) - Christmas Lights? -

We are coming to NYC and would like to visit Dyker Heights lights. We plan on getting the subway to 71st St Station, but would like to know the best streets for the dyker street area for christmas lightsWe are walking from the station to the dyker heights (unless we can catch a taxi), so want to know the best areas and to get there straight away... Thanks...

71st ? on the D train ? oh no no, i would suggest getting off the R train on 86st.You will end up on 4th ave and 86st when you get off. Head towards 5th ave direction and keep walking, when you get to 7th ave keep walking the next block, which is 11th ave. There are no 8th,9th,or 10th aves. So when you get to 11th ave or 12th ave (if u want) *while on 86st, turn left (thats the only turn) and from there you can walk about 2 blocks more if you want. That ll be like 84st and you will see the houses. Most houses do their lights every year, but some skip a year or so, so it s not always accurate which one to go for. But deffinetly some of the good ones are between 11th ave and 13th avenues on 84th st, 83rd, 82nd, and there s more towards the 70s. Woah I hope that wasn t confusing
