With the latest snowfall and chilly temperatures in New York City, we’re getting into the winter spirit. What better way to enjoy the cold weather than grabbing some friends and hitting the ice rink! Here are a few of our favorite skating spots in NYC:
Trump Wollman Rink: Enjoy the picturesque scenery of this famous 33,000 square foot venue at the south eastern end of Central Park. With the beautiful backdrop of sky high buildings peaking over the park trees, you’ll feel like you’re in a scene straight out of Love Story! Admission for adults is $10.75 during the week and $16 on the weekend and skate rentals cost $6.75.
The Standard Ice Skating Rink: Head to the west side to check out the 3,000 square foot rink under the high line at the trendy Standard Hotel. Break for a bite at the Kaffeehaus food stand selling delicious crepes, rich hot chocolate, warm apple cider, and more yummy treats! Admission is $12 and $3 for a skate rental.
Skating in the Sky: Skate among the panoramic views of New York City at the intimate 400 square foot rink located on the fifth floor terrace of the W Hotel Downtown. And don’t forget to indulge in some signature cocktails like the hot chocolate martini at the rink side ice bar! Admission is $12 and includes skate rentals and W hand-warmers.
