Key Points

- Navigating New York City's housing market with a voucher can be challenging, but resources like Unlock NYC and platforms like Streeteasy can help applicants find suitable housing.
- The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has arrived, marking the start of the holiday season with a spectacular display, while the city prepares for the 105th annual Veterans Day Parade with significant road closures and events in honor of veterans.
