Under the Christmas parties the city of New York becomes one of the most popular destinations, both for the Christmas atmosphere and for what it actually offers. There are several ice skating rinks in the Big Apple and there are many little known ones. Among the best known we certainly find the track in Central Park and the one at Rockefeller Center, but how many are there that we do not know, where instead New Yorkers go on weekends? Let's find out together.
Rockefeller Center

THEChristmas tree Rockefeller Center as a tradition is one of the most beautiful and largest in New York every year or so 30 thousand lights they illuminate it. It is brought to the square in the first days of November, turned on with an official ceremony in late November and "turned off" in early January. A beautiful tree that offers the perfect atmosphere for skating under Christmas.
The Pond
The Pond of Bryant Park it is one of the lesser known skating rinks in New York and also for this reason it holds a particular charm for visitors who want to mingle with the locals. From the end of October throughout the winter this place on 42nd Street (behind the Public Library) hosts several skaters. In addition to the skating rink, a small Christmas market is set up where you can buy gifts and pamper yourself with a hot chocolate to be enjoyed comfortably seated at the tables around the rink.
Central Park
Skating in Central Park, immersed in the muffled atmosphere that the snow-covered park offers and surrounded by towering skyscrapers, is the dream of many. There are two skating rinks: the Wollman Rink, the best known and seen in several films, and the Lasker Rink, smaller and quieter, also frequented by hockey players for a few days.
