Ice Skating at Rockefeller Center 2007
November 6, 2009 - January 9, 2010
Few scenes are more heart-warming than the rink full of happy skaters cavorting in front of the spectacular floodlit towers of New York's Rockefeller Center, which has welcomed skaters every Christmas since 1936 and has become a New York Christmas institution.
It wouldn't be winter without a spin around the New York City's most celebrated attractions. The world-famous Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center has become a quintessential New York City winter experience for generations. Here you'll find New Yorkers and visitors alike, skating amid the watchful eye of the gilded Prometheus statue and the unique urban backdrop of Rockefeller Center's sparkling lights.
The setting could hardly be more spectacular. Rockefeller Center's commanding Art Moderne towers frame the tiny rink, together with the signature Christmas tree. The tree's lights and the rink make a colourful, soft-focus contrast to the brightly-lit urbanity of the skyscrapers, proving that inside their gruff metropolitan shells, even New Yorkers have a soft spot for old-fashioned Christmas scenes.
There are always long lines to skate in the Rockefeller Center Skating Rink. Be prepared to wait out in the cold for at least one hour if you come during the peak days which are around Christmas and New Year.

The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency. |
New Yankee Stadium is the working title for a new stadium for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. It will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues. |
In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say!
