BAY RIDGE — ROY JENSEN’S Bay Ridge Holiday House at 635 79th St. is decked out for St. Patrick’s Day, glowing with thousands of green lights, shamrocks and even a pot of gold. Jensen, aided by his daughters Julianna and Christina, transforms the home for every holiday, reports Time Out New York, with the whole family coming up with new decoration plans each year.
Visitors can snap photos for free but are asked to be respectful of the residential area. The St. Patrick’s Day display remains up through March 17 before transitioning for the next holiday.
