Seeing the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is a must if you're traveling to New York City in December. And this year's Norway Spruce is quite the beauty. Coming in at 74 feet tall, 43 feet wide, and weighing roughly 11 tons (or approximately 24,250 pounds), the tree really is a sight to behold. 

As is Rockefeller Center in general around Christmastime. Whether you're going ice-skating or just window-shopping the gorgeous holiday store displays, there's something magical about 30 Rock this time of year. 

And all that excitement may make you and your loved ones hungry. If that's the case, don't worry: Rockefeller Center has plenty of restaurants open during the holidays to keep you energized in between activities — including on Christmas Eve. 

If you'll be stopping by Rockefeller Center this week, here's what to know about the restaurants open there on Christmas Eve.
