City Ice Skating
Skate through the holiday season at one of Manhattan’s most seasonal destinations, offering the perfect girls’ outing for you and your bridal squad to break the ice. Swap the bustling crowded streets for more of a wintery scene at The Rink at Rockefeller Center; the rink allows only 150 people on the rink at one time, permitting legacy and exclusivity to prevail. If traditional ice skating is more your style, opt for Central Park’s most famous rink, Wollman Rink, credited for being as old as the park itself (after opening to the public in 1858).
