The coach pulls away from Times Square and the neon blur of the city gives way to tree-lined residential streets. Within 40 minutes the bus eases into Dyker Heights, and suddenly the quiet is full of light—houses that illuminate their façades as if daring the night to look away. Walkers move slowly, cameras up, breath fogging in the cold; this is a neighborhood that turned its holiday competition into a seasonal spectacle.
