As you can find a lot of fun things to do in winter in NYC, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Following a list of fun activities can help you plan a night out better.
Go Ice Skating
While water may surround NYC, the city’s outdoor rinks and parks offer the best ice-skating experience during winters. Whether you’ve never stepped in an ice rink before or are a skating pro, ice skating is an excellent family activity. You can drop by the Wollman Rink in Central Park any day of the week and enjoy open-air ice skating.
See a Broadway Show
If you’re looking for a warm break from the frigid cold, you can go see a Broadway show. After all, no other theater district is more famous for its excellent production. What plays and who performs changes constantly, but there are tons of shows to pick from. Additionally, you can look for performances done by Broadway singers and live bands in different venues around the city.
Grab a Piping-Hot Drink
While you’re enjoying ice skating and performances, be sure to get a piping-hot drink. Most spots have their own signature beverages for the winter season. NYC also has great hot chocolates, which are perfect for anyone looking to sip on a piping hot mug of cocoa while taking in the Christmas lights.
Check Out Artworks
NYC has fantastic art projects that highlight diverse styles of art, from traditional to pop and contemporary. These include graffitis, street art, murals, etc. Be sure to check out the in-person artworks at your favorite art spots and rinks.
Enjoy the Bright Lights
Once you’ve been through the list of things to do in winter in NYC, remember to enjoy the bright lights and decorations. There’s a large Christmas tree in every corner, near every rink, outside every home. Brooklyn is famous for its festive decor too.
