Outdoor Ice Skating New York!


Winter has ended and spring is here. I missed one thing I really wanted to do this winter and that is ice skating.

I came across Rockafeller Ice skating rink and I was amazed by its grandeur. Its right on Rockafeller center, amidst the skyscrapers, in the limelight. The rink is typically open from October and stays open through early April. I went there an evening before Valentine's day and it is, without a doubt, one of the most romantic ice skating rinks. They have packages including engagement packages :) The only downside is that its small and intimate and more expensive as compared to the other ice skating rinks in New York.

Another famous rink is the Wollman rink located in Central Park. Its more affordable and a perfect place for causal skating.
The Bryant park skating rink is another famous location as it offers free admission cost. However, like most winter treats, the ice skating rink at Bryant Park is sadly short-lived. Its open from mid- November to January.

Yea its indeed beautiful. I guess people miss it because of the fact that its not perennial and opens only in winter, which is definitely not the best time to visit NY.
