Winter in New York City November 18, 2013
There are very few places in the world more beautiful than New York City in the winter. From the snow covered skyline to the return of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, NYC transforms into a winter wonderland. If you are unsure about whether or not you want to take a trip to the big apple this Christmas season, let us show you what you would be missing out on if you don’t pay us a visit:
Ice Skating
What could be better than spending a day relaxing, skating, and enjoying Christmas music? Manhattan alone is home to over a dozen ice skating rinks, a few that you might want to visit are: Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers, Wollman Rink in Central Park, and the Rockefeller Center Rink- home to NYC’s most famous Christmas Tree. And if you don’t feel like traveling too far, walk down the block from PC TECH after class to the Bryant Park Rink!
Madison Square Park
If you venture over to the Flatiron District, you will come across Madison Square Park on East 23rd Street and 5th Avenue. This park is known for being a summer concert venue and a great spot to pick up some delicious food truck goodies. This winter the park will be hosting Buckyball, an impressive 30 ft. tall LED modern art structure. Why not venture over to the park, get some delicious food, recline on a zero-gravity couch, and enjoy the light show!
Shopping
If you want to go shopping, there is no better place in the world than New York City. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it here. Herald Square, Union Square, Times Square, 5th Avenue : these are only a few of the shopping centers around the city. You will find streets lined with department stores and shopping outlets offering fantastic holiday discounts. Also, some of the world’s most famous windows displays! If you’re looking for more unique gifts and knickknacks, we suggest you take a peek at Bryant Park’s Holiday Shops.
New Year’s Eve
If you are going to be in New York City to ring in the new year, your trip would not be complete without paying a visit to the Times Square Ball. The enormous crystal ball stands in the center of Times Square until new year’s eve when it is lit and begins its descent as it counts down the last 10 seconds of the year. The streets are filled with lights, cameras, performances, confetti and thousands of New Yorkers and visitors. It is a one of a kind experience.
These are only a few of the things there are to enjoy in the Big Apple. Take a trip to New York and learn English at PC TECH. Come and discover what winter in NYC is all about.
