Bank of America Winter Village
The 17,000-square-foot outdoor ice-skating rink in the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park is New York City’s only free admission rink, open through March 2015. More than just a skating experience, the Winter Village offers special winter attractions, such as holiday shops and the rink-side pop-up restaurant, Celsius. Skate rentals start from $15.
