Ice Age

Every winter small parts of New York become covered in a sheet of ice providing enjoyment to both locals and tourists.

Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center
This ice skating rink is one of the most famous rinks in the world and a very popular NYC attraction.  Depending when you go you can expect crowds as well as many on-lookers.  You have a pretty good chance of skating here if you want as the rink is usually open from October through April. (601 5th Avenue, between 49th & 50th St., Map)
 
The Pond at Bryant Park
Ever winter for the last few years Bryant Park, home to Fashion Week, is transformed into a winter wonderland with an ice skating rink and holiday shops.  Admission to the Pond is free, but you still have to pay to rent skates.  (40th-42nd Street & 6th Avenue, Map)

Wollman Rink
Located inside Central Park the Wollman Rink has a picturesque background while skating.  First built in 1949 and later upgraded and managed by Donald Trump the Wollman Rink is typically open from November through April. (Map)
