Gingerbread Houses

 

The Museum of the City of New York holds a yearly gingerbread contest.

Begun in 2022, it invites people to submit their own takes on NYC in gingerbread.

After reading about the yearly event, I tried to check it out once before,

but ran into what appeared to be a bomb scare that closed down not just the museum but also 5^th Avenue. 

(The museum is on 5^th Avenue and 103^rd Street.)

I had better luck this time. 😊

This year’s theme was “Iconic New York.”  The exhibit runs until January 19^th, 2026.

The sculptures were extraordinary, and the entire room had a delicious gingerbread scent.

While some of the entries tackled typical gingerbread themes.

Others focused more on the icon theme.  Like this award winner.  😉

Cheers!
