Para disfrutar del frío neoyorquino, no hay nada mejor que abrigarse e ir a la pista de patinaje.
There aren’t many places in the world as breathtakingly beautiful as New York City in the winter. Even if you’ve never been there yourself, you’ve probably seen the Big Apple turn into a winter wonderland on the big screen, in timeless classics such as Elf, When Harry Met Sally, or Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. (And let us be the first to tell you, it really is just as gorgeous as it seems on TV.) So, if you’re on the fence about taking a wintertime trip to the city that never sleeps, our advice is to take the plunge — plus, there’s plenty more to do during the winter in NYC than sightseeing.
Para disfrutar del frío neoyorquino, no hay nada mejor que abrigarse bien e ir a la pista de hielo. Sí, la ciudad tiene varias pistas de patinaje sobre hielo para todos los niveles, tanto si es la primera vez que te calzas unos patines como si quieres calentar un poco antes de probarte con los New York Rangers. Además, las pistas son muy festivas durante las fiestas, y un lugar perfecto para hacer fotos y pasarlo en grande con toda la familia.
Así que, sin más preámbulos, vamos a sumergirnos en algunos de los mejores lugares para patinar sobre hielo en Nueva York durante el invierno.
Centro Rockefeller
If there’s only one place you ice skate during your time in New York, this one is tough to beat. The Rink at Rockefeller Center officially opened in early November and is conveniently located at Rockefeller Plaza between 50th and 49th Streets. Enjoy some cold-weather fun under the world-famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree any day of the week from 9 a.m. to midnight by purchasing a ticket and reserving a time slot in advance. Guests are welcome to bring their skates, but if you don’t want to lug them around all day, you can rent them while you’re there.
Parque Bryant
For those looking to enjoy some ice skating in the middle of a massive winter village, there’s no better place than the Bryant Park Ice Rink. The rink opens in late October and runs from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The best part? At Bryant Park, if you bring your skates, ice time is totally free — and you can reserve your skate time in advance. (You can also rent a pair of affordable skates while you’re there.) After you’ve worked up a sweat — and an appetite — be sure to explore the surrounding winter village, complete with a European-inspired open-air market, which features artisanal shops housed in custom-designed, “jewel box” kiosks. (Pro Tip: This is a great place to do some holiday shopping!)
Parque Central
Smack dab in the middle of Manhattan is Central Park, and besides beautiful scenery and the NYC skyline, there’s also an ice-skating rink! Wollman Rink at Central Park opens in late October, and you can view the schedule on their website. Simply purchase your tickets in advance and reserve ice time to get started. Guests can bring their skates or rent an affordable pair and a locker at the rink.
Pista de patinaje a orillas del lago
If you’re heading to Brooklyn this winter, you’ve got to stop by Prospect Park and check out Lakeside Rink for some top-notch ice skating. The rink opens in mid-November, and while tickets are currently walk-in only, they’ll be available on the rink’s website soon. The rink has several skating sessions during the day, and guests can bring their skates or rent an affordable pair at the rink.
Ahora bien, el patinaje sobre hielo no es la única actividad invernal divertida en Nueva York: hay muchas otras cosas interesantes que experimentar y lugares de interés que visitar. ¿Quieres empaparte de cultura mientras estás en la ciudad? Haz la excursión Meet The Met: Metropolitan Museum of Art Tour, en la que un guía experto te llevará a través de 5.000 años de arte en sólo tres horas. También subirá al jardín de la azotea del Met para disfrutar de unas vistas increíbles de Central Park, así que no olvide meter la cámara en la maleta.
Winter Wonders from the Water with City Cruises
One of the coolest things to do while in New York City is to experience a casual evening out with stunning views from the Hudson and East Rivers on a delicious dining cruise. Enjoy a delicious chef-prepared buffet and skyline views of the Big Apple from the comfort of a luxurious yacht. Cruise along the waters while marveling at famed landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and One World Trade Center from cozy, climate-controlled interior spaces, or refreshing open-air roof decks. The spirits will be flowing with fully stocked bars, lively music, and fun-filled games for an unforgettable night.
