  3. Rockefeller Center
    Pass by
    Buddy spots a Christmas tree in a building window and gets excited. Jovie takes the lead to go to the Rockefeller Center. She takes him there to show him the large Christmas tree on display. Then, they ice skate and have their first kiss.
  4. Empire State Building
