Ends 3/2/14 - You can now ice skate at Bryant Park!

Wow, it's hard to believe the ice skating rink at Bryant Park is already up and running. Not only that, they have increasingly shift the closing date later and later. From what I remember,  in the past, the rink is usually removed by late January, early February. Now it's  the beginning of March! I hope the weather doesn't melt the ice. Since admission is free, I suggest BYOS (bringing your own skates) so its completely FREE!! ;)

The holiday shops and Celsius is also in the hood. Check it out!
