Most will tell you, New York City is gorgeous around the holidays. Many typically flock from all over the country to see the infamous Rockefeller tree. Well, this year that may not be so easy.

New York Gov Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday (October 31) all visitors to New York must test negative for COVID-19 3 days before travel. This replaces the state's 14-day mandatory quarantine policy.
